About Anyware
Anyware Robotics builds general-purpose mobile manipulator robots for industrial applications. Our robots are trusted by customers across logistics, retail, and manufacturing, supporting applications such as truck unloading, mobile palletizing, and machine tending.
The Role
The robots run on AnywareOS, our industrial physical intelligence system. Its architecture is modular and designed to generalize across applications without reprogramming. We are looking for a Robotics Software Engineer to own the behavior layer of AnywareOS — the task sequencing, fault recovery, and cross-component interfaces that turn planning, perception, and controls into a working production cycle. It is where learned policies meet deterministic guarantees — and what a new capability has to clear before it runs on a customer floor.
- Design the robot's behavior and recovery logic — how Pixmo sequences a task, detects that a cycle has failed, and restores the system to a defined state from which the cycle can resume without operator intervention.
- Improve cycle time and task success rate on production applications including trailer unloading, palletizing, and depalletizing.
- Build the instrumentation the system is diagnosed through — logging, replay, and simulation tooling capable of reproducing intermittent field failures.
- Take field failures to root cause — from a telemetry trace of something that happened once, on one robot, at a customer site, to the specific defect, the fix, and the regression test that keeps it from coming back.
- Turn new capabilities into production behavior — when planning, perception, or controls lands something new, you are the engineer who decides what it takes to trust it on a customer floor.
Required Skills
- 2+ years of professional experience building robotics software that has run on physical hardware in production.
- Strong C++ and Python, including in codebases you did not write.
- Ownership of a feature end to end, through design, implementation, testing, and deployment.
- Demonstrated ability to debug across component boundaries from logs and telemetry.
- Strong fundamentals in spatial transforms, robot kinematics, and 3D geometry.
- Depth in robot task sequencing and failure recovery — behavior trees, task planners, or a custom sequencer — plus at least one of: motion planning, perception, or controls.
Nice to have
- ROS 2 and production robot deployment pipelines.
- Warehouse, logistics, or industrial automation experience.
- Replay, telemetry, or regression infrastructure for physical systems.
- Learned components shipped into production behind deterministic safeguards, and judgment about where their output can and cannot be trusted.
- Broad ownership across the stack at an early-stage company.
Why Anyware
- An A+ Team: Anyware is built by top talents. Collectively, our team has won six Best Paper Awards and Finalists, including the ICRA 2025 Best Paper Award and ICRA 2024 Best Paper Award.
- An A+ Robot: Our robot, Pixmo, won the Best Innovation Award (top-1) at both ProMat 2025 and MODEX 2026 — the two largest logistics automation exhibitions in the world. Pixmo also won the RBR50 Robotics Innovation Award.
- Real Impact: Your autonomy and behavior work does not stop at a demo. It ships into real customer sites, directly affects robot reliability and throughput, and must perform under real-world variation.
- Fast Growth: You will have strong ownership and real responsibility in a growing robotics company.
- Generous Equity: We offer generous equity in addition to salary and benefits.
Compensation
The expected salary range for this role is $140,000–$200,000 USD/year, depending on experience and qualifications. Additional compensation may include equity, benefits, or other incentives, where applicable.
Benefits & Perks
- Comprehensive health insurance for you and your family
- Flexible Paid Time Off (PTO)
- Paid sick leave
- 401(k) plan support
- Daily meal credit
Equal Opportunity Statement
Anyware is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Employment decisions are based on qualifications, merit, and business needs.
How to Apply
Please submit your resume and any relevant materials through the Anyware Career platform. We look forward to learning more about your experience and interest in joining our team.

Entry Level Robotics Software Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level robotics software engineer job?
Build a portfolio of hands-on projects: a robot arm you programmed, a ROS-based simulation, or a computer vision pipeline you built from scratch. Entry level employers want to see you can write clean C++ or Python, work with real hardware or simulation tools like Gazebo, and collaborate on a team. Internship experience helps, but strong GitHub projects and a clear write-up of your work can carry equal weight at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level robotics software engineers?
Companies hiring entry level robotics software engineers right now include NVIDIA, Skydio, and Wonder, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring comes from a mix of robotics startups building autonomy stacks, established manufacturers adding software-defined automation, and defense and logistics companies expanding their robotics programs.
Are there remote entry level robotics software engineer jobs?
Yes, though hardware-adjacent work means many roles still require on-site access to robots and test equipment. About 10% of entry level robotics software engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to focus on simulation, software integration, or perception algorithm development rather than direct hardware bring-up.
Are these new grad robotics software engineer jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior robotics software engineer roles. A new grad friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience and counts internships, senior capstone projects, or a strong portfolio toward that threshold. Look for job descriptions that mention "recent graduates" or list coursework and academic projects as acceptable substitutes for professional experience.
Which industries hire the most entry level robotics software engineers?
Entry Level robotics software engineer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Science & Research, and Artificial Intelligence, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Those sectors drive entry level hiring because they are actively scaling autonomous systems, collaborative robots, or perception-heavy pipelines and need junior engineers who can contribute to software development alongside experienced roboticists.
