Job description

Join Contoro Robotics - Revolutionizing Warehouse Automation with Cutting-Edge Robotics
At Contoro Robotics, we're on a mission to solve labor challenges through advanced robotic solutions. Headquartered in Austin, TX, our fast-growing startup is transforming the supply chain industry with our flagship warehouse automation technology. Our team is made up of top-tier experts in robotics, AI, and logistics, working together to push the boundaries of automation.
We're looking for talented and ambitious individuals to join us on this journey-helping shape the future of robotics while growing alongside a world-class team. If you're passionate about innovation, problem-solving, and making a real-world impact, we want to hear from you!
About Contoro
Contoro Robotics is an Austin based startup focused on warehouse automation. We design a state-of-the-art autonomous truck unloading system capable of lifting boxes over 60 lbs.
The Role
We are hiring a robotics software engineer to contribute to the motion planning and autonomous behavior systems on our unloading robot. You will work with senior engineers to advance specific autonomy modules - including grasp planning, trajectory execution, collision avoidance, and behavior logic. These systems run in production across a fleet of active robots. You will partner closely with perception, hardware, and operations engineers to deliver reliable picks across a wide range of box configurations.
Responsibilities
  • Contribute and advance specific motion planning modules, including grasp planning, trajectory generation, and collision avoidance
  • Contribute to the behavior tree that governs the robot's autonomous unloading cycle, including pick selection, drop verification, and error recovery
  • Improve pick success rate and cycle time through software changes
  • Debug and resolve production issues through remote log analysis and telemetry
  • Write and maintain automated tests for motion planning and behavior logic
  • Collaborate with perception, hardware, and trajectory optimization engineers on cross-system integration
  • Participate in design reviews and contribute to module-level technical decisions
Qualifications
  • B.S. or M.S. in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
  • 3+ years of professional experience developing software for deployed robotic systems
  • Proficiency in C++ and Python in production robotics environments
  • Experience with ROS and motion planning frameworks (e.g., MoveIt)
  • Working knowledge of kinematics, inverse kinematics, and collision avoidance for manipulators
  • Experience with behavior trees or state machines for robot autonomy
  • Strong debugging skills and the ability to diagnose issues in production systems
  • Familiarity with Linux-based development environments
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with industrial manipulators (KUKA, ABB, Fanuc, UR, or similar)
  • Familiarity with grasp planning and manipulation under occlusion
  • Familiarity with occupancy mapping for collision avoidance
  • Experience with Docker-based deployment and cloud-based logging/monitoring
  • Prior work in warehouse automation, surgical robotics, logistics, or pick-and-place applications
