What does a robotics engineer do?
What does a robotics engineer do?
A robotics engineer designs and often builds robots from their plans and ensures the correct processes are in place for the robot to run properly. They work with their clients to determine costs and design specifications, then they design software systems to control robotic systems; build, configure, and test robots; and automate processes to increase production and precision. Once the robotic system is in place, the robotics engineer helps troubleshoot any problems the clients have with the system.
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a robotics engineer, and why are they important?
What types of projects do robotics engineers typically collaborate on with cross-functional teams?
What is the difference between Robotics Engineer vs Mechanical Engineer?
| Aspect | Robotics Engineer | Mechanical Engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Bachelor's in Robotics, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering or related field; certifications in robotics or automation | Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering; Professional Engineer (PE) license optional |
| Work Environment | Designing, testing, and programming robotic systems in labs or manufacturing settings | Designing and analyzing mechanical systems in various industries, including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace |
| Industry Usage | Robotics companies, automation firms, manufacturing | Manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, product design |
Robotics Engineers focus on designing and developing robotic systems, combining knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and software engineering. Mechanical Engineers have a broader scope, working on mechanical systems across multiple industries. While both roles require engineering degrees, Robotics Engineers often need specialized skills in programming and automation. The choice depends on your interest in robotics and automation versus general mechanical system design.

Job description
Boost Robotics is developing the next generation of autonomous systems that monitor and maintain the world’s digital infrastructure. As a Founding Robotics Software Engineer, you will build core software for reliable robot operation and engage in various robotics stack tasks while deploying robots in high-reliability environments.
Responsibilities:
• Build the core software that enables our robots to operate reliably.
• Work across the robotics stack, based on interest, need, or both.
• Write production-grade code with strong testing practices.
• Build low-latency scalable frameworks for logging, telemetry, and monitoring.
• Profile and deploy edge-optimized control and perception algorithms.
• Travel to customer sites for robot deployments, and debug problems in the field.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Background in Robotics, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering.
• Experience deploying robots in high-reliability environments (AVs, drones, or industrial systems).
• Familiarity with containerization, DevOps, or edge/cloud infrastructure.
• Exceptional skills in C++ and Python, including performance optimization.
• Strong systems-level thinking and comfort working with uncertainty or shifting priorities.
• Experience with some or all of the following robotics topics: Working with robotics sensors (Lidars, RGBD cameras, IMUs, etc.), Localization and state estimation techniques, Classical robot controls (kinematics, motion planning), Training perception models around 3D geometry and scene understanding.
Preferred:
• MS or higher in robotics or a related field
• Experience building data collection and training pipelines
• Familiarity with robotics simulators (Isaac Sim, PyBullet, Gazebo)
• History of web development and/or VR development
• Contributions to open-source robotics frameworks or SDKs.
Company:
Boost Robotics builds autonomous mobile robots that perform manual tasks in data centers. Founded in 2025, the company is headquartered in Boston, USA, with a team of 2-10 employees. The company is currently Early Stage.
