Information Technology & Services
Responsibilities
Build the bridge between robots and software. Develop, integrate, and maintain robotic interfaces, APIs, and data pipelines that unify control across heterogeneous fleets
Design real-time systems. Implement robust, low-latency communication between Conduit’s cloud orchestration layer and on-prem robots using ROS, MQTT, OPC-UA, or custom protocols
Develop autonomy connectors. Extend Conduit’s mission planning and control capabilities to work with new robot types — from AMRs and AGVs to arms, gantries, and CNC systems
Prototype fast, deploy faster. Test integrations directly with live robots on factory floors and refine based on real-world performance
Collaborate across teams. Work closely with Forward Deployed Engineers, Backend Engineers, and customers to debug, optimize, and evolve robotic systems in production
Shape the robotics layer of FactoryOS. Your architecture and abstractions will become the foundation for every robot integration that follows
Qualification
Required
Strong proficiency in Python or C++ for robotics development
Experienced with ROS or other robotic middleware (e.g. ROS 2, ZeroMQ, MQTT)
Understanding of real-time communication, networking, and device orchestration
Comfortable working at the intersection of hardware, embedded systems, and cloud services
Able to test, debug, and deploy in live environments — from simulation to factory floor
Preferred
Experience integrating industrial robots (Fanuc, ABB, UR, MiR, Omron, etc.)
Familiarity with PLCs, Modbus, OPC-UA, or fieldbus protocols
Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and edge deployments
Curiosity for how machines think — and drive to make them think better
Passion for building the systems that make automation accessible, reliable, and fast
