- Strong coding skills in one or more programming languages (C++ and Python are strongly preferred)
- Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including testing and hardware
- Hands-on experience with software architecture and algorithm design, and experience developing control and planning systems
- Detail-oriented, responsible, and able to handle confidential project information professionally. Strong communication, logical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills
- Bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese
Preferred Qualifications
- Hands-on experience in one or more advanced robotics areas: control, planning, SLAM, and ROS
- Demonstrated experience with Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) architecture and deployment in AGV/AMR
- Hands-on experience with filtering, optimization systems, autonomous vehicle, pose estimation, or reinforcement learning
Key Responsibilities
- Execute module-based development tasks by following technical direction and established SOPs provided by the supervisor
- Conduct research and analysis for assigned modules, evaluate technical approaches, and propose implementation plans before development
- Develop, implement, and test algorithms for guidance, navigation, and control systems with project requirements
- Support version iteration and software releases by integrating completed module updates into new system versions
- Work on one assigned module at a time and ensure timely, accurate, and high-quality delivery throughout the development process
- Collaborate with the supervisor and team members to review progress, resolve technical issues, and improve module performance
- Provide timely troubleshooting and technical support for field issues as needed
- Assist with diagnosing, analyzing, and resolving on-site or system-level issues in coordination with relevant teams
- Respond to recurring troubleshooting requests in a timely manner and support issue resolution to help maintain GNC system performance and operational stability
U.S. Benefits
- Medical insurance, 401(k), PTO.

Entry Level Robotics Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level robotics engineer job?
Build a portfolio of hands-on projects, such as a robot arm, autonomous vehicle prototype, or ROS-based simulation, and highlight any internship or lab experience on your resume. Employers hiring at this level prioritize demonstrated ability to write clean code, work with sensors and actuators, and collaborate on hardware-software integration. A strong senior capstone project or open-source contribution can give you a real edge.
Which companies hire entry level robotics engineers?
Companies hiring entry level robotics engineers right now include FieldAI, Neuralink, and Amazon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a wide range of employers, including manufacturing automation firms, defense contractors, medical device companies, and consumer robotics startups that actively recruit new and recent graduates.
Are there remote entry level robotics engineer jobs?
Yes, though most roles at this level require at least some on-site work given the hands-on nature of robotics. About 17% of entry level robotics engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, typically covering simulation, software integration, or controls work that can be done off-site while hardware testing stays in the lab.
Are these new grad robotics engineer jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior robotics engineer roles. A posting is typically new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or co-op rotations in place of full-time history, or explicitly invites applicants with a strong academic portfolio. Look for language like "entry level," "new grad," or "junior" in the job description to confirm.
Which industries hire the most entry level robotics engineers?
Entry Level robotics engineer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Science & Research, and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors drive entry level hiring because they are actively scaling automation, investing in new robotics systems, and need junior engineers to support design, testing, and deployment alongside more experienced teams.
