Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it.**Help Build the Future of Caterpillar –**At Caterpillar, technology always has a purpose, which is to solve our customers’ toughest challenges. Through Cat Technology, we are solving problems by building the intelligence layer that connects machines, data, and people to make jobsites safer, more productive, and more sustainable. By combining deep domain expertise in physical systems with software, connectivity, autonomy, and AI, we deliver solutions that work in the real world—on real jobsites, at global scale.You’ll build and deploy against one of the most unique data foundations—over 1.6 million connected assets generating real-world data daily. These data and platform capabilities are enabling the development of AI models, edge computing architectures, and software systems that scale across fleets, products, and industries. The result will be a new generation of machines that continuously learn, improve, and deliver performance at scale.**Role Definition** We build the autonomy stack that lets large off-road machines operate themselves on real customer sites — from perception through motion to control, with modern learning-based methods and a classical robotics foundations.We are hiring high-quality robotics generalists: engineers who can work confidently across the full stack and go deep in at least one domain. You will own real components end-to-end — from idea and prototype through to production on hardware.**Responsibilities*** Participating in the processes of test review and analysis, test witnessing and certification of robotics software.* Design, build, and ship autonomy components across perception, planning, control, and learning.* Take work from prototype to production on real hardware.* Bring depth in your specialty while contributing broadly across the stack.* Work in small, outcome-owning pods staffed from our capability benches.**Skill Descriptors*** **Software Product Design/Architecture:** Knowledge of software product design; ability to convert market requirements into the software product design.* **Artificial Intelligence:** Knowledge of the concepts, technologies and methodologies of artificial intelligence (AI); ability to develop, implement and/or apply artificial intelligence products and services in specific industry domain to achieve business goals.* **Programming:** Knowledge of relevant programming languages and tools; ability to test, write, design, debug, troubleshoot and maintain source codes and computer programs.**Top Candidates Will Have:*** Typically, 5+ years of related engineering experience* Strong robotics generalist — comfortable moving across the autonomy stack rather than staying in one narrow lane.* Expertise in at least one of: AI, motion planning, perception, controls, or SLAM.* C++ and Python, production-quality.* ROS (or similar) in real robotics systems.* Full-lifecycle product experience — ideally has taken robotics products from idea to production, not just research or prototypes.* Pragmatic, first-principles engineer who owns components end-to-end and collaborates across a fast-moving delivery team.* Excited to get out on site and see their own code operate on iron — real machines in the real world, not just in the lab.* Real-world / field robotics or autonomous vehicles (on- or off-road).* Learning-based control or perception, or foundation / VLA-style models.* Sim and on-vehicle deployment.* MLOps / training-infrastructure depth for the ML-leaning profile.**Additional Details:*** This position requires the candidate to work full-time at the Irving, TX office (Dallas)* Domestic relocation assistance is available for this position.* Visa sponsorship is NOT available with this position.### ### **Summary Pay Range:**$112,710.00 - $183,140.00Compensation and benefits offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, job level, market location, job-related knowledge, skills, individual performance and experience.
