Get Access To All JobsAbout ATI:
Automated Tire (ATI) is on a mission to reinvent tire changing and wheel balancing using cutting-edge robotics. We are transforming a process that hasn’t fundamentally changed in decades into an automated, high-performance system built for the future of automotive service.
Founded by experienced entrepreneurs and backed by leading players across the automotive and tire industries, ATI is building technology that will redefine how cars are serviced. Our team combines deep robotics expertise with real world deployment, moving fast from prototype to production and scaling solutions directly in the field.
Position Overview:
We're looking for a Senior Robotics Full Stack Software Engineer to join our team and take a senior technical leadership role in building the software that turns raw robot capability into a reliable, operable, and measurable product. You'll bring technical judgment to how we architect and build across the stack, from operator-facing web applications and cloud services to the data infrastructure and behavior systems that drive autonomous decision-making. In addition, you’ll help set the best practices and standards for the engineers around you.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You’ll write code daily across several languages; make architectural decisions that shape how our robots are operated, monitored, and improved. In addition you will help mentor our growing software engineering team. The tools you build will be used by operators, field teams, and roboticists to deploy fleets, supervise autonomy, and interact with and understand how robots perform in the real world. You’ll need to think carefully about reliability, real-time data, observability, and clear UX for high-stakes operational environments.
Responsibilities:
- Help design and contribute to software across the entire robotics stack from architecture through deployment
- Develop and maintain behavior trees and the decision-making logic that governs robot autonomy, along with the tooling to author, visualize, and debug them
- Work with robotics engineers to build reliable and debuggable data pipelines between independent processes to connect sensors with reasoning, free from race conditions and deadlocks
- Help define, instrument, and visualize operational metrics (uptime, autonomy/intervention rate, mission success, throughput, MTBF, failure modes) so the team can measure and improve robot performance and fleet health
- Establish engineering best practices across the stack, including testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and fleet observability
- Build responsive, intuitive web interfaces for fleet monitoring, mission planning, teleoperation, and operational dashboards
- Mentor and guide engineers, fostering their growth and raising the team's technical bar
- Collaborate with cross-functional partners across robotics software, hardware, perception, controls, data science, and field operations
- Proactively identify technical risks and architectural trade-offs, and communicate them clearly to leadership
Requirements
- 7+ years of professional software development experience with strong full stack range across front end and backend
- Experience developing and deploying software in a robotics company
- Comfortable working across multiple languages: we use Go and Python in backend services and tooling and TypeScript on the front end
- Demonstrated experience building and shipping production front end applications (React or similar)
- Background in robotics analytics, fleet observability, or operational metrics and dashboards
- Proven experience in system architecture, API design and hands-on implementation
- Experience with messaging and streaming systems (queues, pub/sub, WebSockets)
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
- Strong understanding of software engineering principles including SOLID, clean code, and test-driven development
- Exposure to real-time telemetry streaming and analytics (WebSockets, MQTT, OpenTelemetry)
- Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with robot autonomy frameworks, behavior trees, or state machines (e.g., BehaviorTree.CPP, py_trees)
- Experience with ROS / ROS2 or similar robotics middleware
- Experience with data visualization for telemetry, maps, or spatial data
- Familiarity with robot log/data tooling and replay (e.g., ROS bags, structured event logs)
- Experience with teleoperation, low-latency video streaming, or remote supervision interfaces
- Experience with simulation environments (e.g., MuJoCo, Isaac Sim) and software-in-the-loop testing
- Experience with edge/on-robot services, OTA deployment, or fleet orchestration
- Contributions to open-source projects

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Full-stack Software Engineer
Verify your stack qualifies as specialty occupation
Full-stack roles that blend frontend and backend work can draw scrutiny if the job description reads generalist. Pull the O*NET profile for Software Developers to confirm the role requires a directly related bachelor's degree, then make sure your job offer letter mirrors that language.
Target employers enrolled in E-Verify first
Companies already enrolled in E-Verify have cleared a baseline compliance step that signals readiness to hire foreign nationals. When you're shortlisting companies, filtering for E-Verify participation narrows the field to employers less likely to stall at the sponsorship conversation.
Request a consulate-track offer letter, not a USCIS petition
H-1B1 Chile sponsorship runs through the U.S. consulate in Santiago, not USCIS adjudication. Your offer letter and LCA are the core documents. Ask your employer explicitly to file the DOL Labor Condition Application and prepare consular packet, not an I-129 petition.
Use Migrate Mate to find verified H-1B1 Chile sponsoring employers
Most job boards don't distinguish H-1B1 Chile filers from H-1B visa filers. Search Migrate Mate, which surfaces employer LCA filing history by visa type and occupation code, so you can identify companies that have specifically sponsored Chilean nationals in software engineering roles.
Benchmark your offer against DOL prevailing wage before negotiating
Your employer must certify your salary meets the DOL prevailing wage for your role and location before filing the LCA. Run the OFLC Wage Search for software developer occupations in your target city before you negotiate, so your offer clears the threshold without renegotiation later.
Prepare credential documents before your Santiago interview
Chilean engineering degrees from institutions like the Universidad de Chile or Pontificia Universidad Católica are generally accepted, but bring official transcripts, a diploma copy, and any ABET or accreditation records. Consular officers can request equivalency evidence on the spot, and delays extend your start date.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a full-stack software engineer role qualify for H-1B1 Chile sponsorship?
Yes, if the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as computer science, software engineering, or information systems. Generalist roles that accept any degree may not meet the specialty occupation standard. Your employer's job description should specify a field-specific degree requirement, not just a preferred qualification, to support the LCA filing.
How does H-1B1 Chile compare to H-1B for a software engineer?
H-1B1 Chile has no lottery, an annual cap of 1,400 visas that has not filled in recent years, and is processed directly at the Santiago consulate without USCIS adjudication, which typically means faster processing. The trade-off is that H-1B1 does not allow dual intent, so it's designed for temporary employment rather than a direct green card pathway.
How do I find employers that have sponsored H-1B1 Chile visas for software engineers?
Migrate Mate filters employer search results by LCA filing history and visa type, so you can see which companies have filed specifically for H-1B1 Chile roles in software engineering occupations. This is more reliable than searching general job postings, which rarely specify visa type and often mix H-1B and H-1B1 sponsorship.
What documents does a Chilean full-stack engineer need for the consular interview?
You'll need your DS-160 confirmation, valid Chilean passport, MRV fee payment receipt, the certified LCA, your offer letter, and educational credentials including official transcripts and your degree certificate. If your university is not widely recognized in the U.S., bring supplementary documentation showing accreditation or equivalency to a U.S. four-year bachelor's degree.
Can my employer sponsor my H-1B1 Chile visa remotely if they're a U.S. company with no Chile office?
Yes. The employer files the LCA with DOL and prepares the consular package from the U.S., and you attend the interview at the Santiago consulate regardless of where the employer is based. There's no requirement for the employer to have a physical Chile presence. The critical step is ensuring the LCA specifies the correct U.S. worksite location.
