What we are looking for
We are looking for an experienced engineer with a strong computer-vision foundation and a track record of turning complex technical ideas into practical, working systems.
Who you are
You are technically curious, analytical and comfortable taking ownership when the answer is not immediately obvious.You enjoy going deep into difficult technical problems, while keeping sight of the goal: building technology that works reliably in the real world.
Minds and makers forging ahead together.
At Robotto, we value people who do. People who take ownership, are willing to try new things just to see if they work, and are comfortable asking for forgiveness rather than permission.We want people who are curious, proactive and excited about turning ambitious ideas into technology that works in the real world.
Our hiring process
Our process is designed to be straightforward, practical and conversational:
1. Introductory conversation with our Talent Acquisition & Recruitment Partner
A chance to learn more about Robotto, the role and what you are looking for, while giving us an opportunity to understand your background, experience and motivation.
2. Meeting with the Hiring Manager / Principal Engineer
A deeper conversation about your technical background, computer-vision experience, the systems and products you have worked on, and your approach to solving complex perception problems.
3. In-depth Technical Evaluation & Meeting with our COO
A hands-on technical session where you will receive a short assignment to prepare in advance and then work through it together with members of our technical team.The exercise will be based on a computer-vision problem relevant to the role. We are interested in how you structure the problem, reason about algorithms and architecture, evaluate trade-offs and collaborate with other engineers rather than looking for one specific answer.Following the technical evaluation, you will meet with our COO for a conversation about the role, Robotto and mutual fit.
4. Offer
If there is a strong mutual fit, we will move forward with an offer.
Why join Robotto?
Robotto is building advanced autonomy technology for drones and unmanned systems, working at the intersection of software, hardware, computer vision and real-world operations.You will join a highly technical and ambitious team at an exciting point in the company’s journey. As we continue to scale our engineering team and work on challenging new projects, you will have a meaningful opportunity to influence both our technology and how we build it.This is not a role where everything is already defined. You will have room to challenge approaches, shape technical decisions and take ownership of important parts of our computer-vision stack.Most importantly, your work will move beyond experimentation. You will see the technology integrated, tested and used on real systems in demanding environments.
Equal Employment Opportunity
Robotto is committed to providing equal employment opportunities and fostering an inclusive workplace. We recruit based on skills, experience and potential.Due to the nature of our work, certain positions may be subject to security-clearance or other eligibility requirements in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
