About
Our offices are in Emeryville and Santa Clara, California.
About The Role As a Software Applications Engineer, Robotic Systems, you will build the distributed software systems that control the Matter Compiler. These systems coordinate real hardware - sensors, actuators, and manufacturing processes - under real-time and reliability constraints.
You will work across layers of the stack, from low-level device interaction to higher-level APIs that define machine behavior. In one sprint, you might debug a timing issue between devices; in another, you may implement an interface that enables coordination across a fleet of machines.
This role is well-suited for engineers with strong fundamentals, hands‑on curiosity, and a desire to grow into systems‑level thinking through exposure to real-world, hardware-driven systems. This role is based in either our Santa Clara or Emeryville offices.
What You’ll Do
Write, test, and debug software that directly interfaces with robotics and manufacturing systems
Build and operate distributed systems that coordinate state, timing, and behavior across multiple devices
Investigate and resolve issues spanning software, firmware, and physical systems
Contribute to system reliability through logging, observability, and fault handling
Work across the stack—from device-level interaction to networked APIs
Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, and process engineers to define system behavior
What You’ll Need
3+ years of experience (research, robotics, or relevant industry work)
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field
Strong proficiency in Python for building and debugging production systems (our stack primarily includes Python, C++, and Go)
Experience with at least one systems or strongly typed language such as C++, Rust, or Go
Solid understanding of core computer science fundamentals (data structures, concurrency, systems basics)
Experience building or debugging systems that interact with hardware or other external systems
What Makes You Stand Out
Experience working with robotics, embedded systems, or hardware‑adjacent software
Familiarity with real‑time systems or resource‑constrained environments
Experience debugging complex issues across multiple layers (software, firmware, hardware)Exposure to distributed systems or networked device coordination
Interest in how physical systems behave under real‑world constraints (latency, noise, failure, safety)
Experience with observability, testing, or infrastructure tools
The compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits.
