# Senior Research Engineer, Embodied AIBuild the systems that let robots and agents query Roam's spatial index in real time — sub-30 ms, on-device fallback, change-aware planning.Team: Robotics & AgentsLocation: San Francisco, CAType: full timeBase salary range: $250k – $420k baseApply by EmailBack to all roles## About the roleYou'll build the bridge between Roam's spatial index and the autonomous systems that consume it. ROS 2 SDK ownership, on-device reduced-order-model integration, nav-mesh primitives, and change-event subscription patterns. You'll work with early robotics customers to make sure the API surface matches how fleets actually run.## Responsibilities* Own the ROS 2 SDK in C++ and Python.* Integrate reduced-order models into on-device runtimes for sub-10 W inference.* Build nav-mesh and change-event subscription primitives.* Partner with customer robotics teams on deployment pilots.## Qualifications* Senior-level robotics or autonomy systems experience.* Strong ROS 2 background plus production C++ and Python.* Comfort with on-device inference and constrained compute (Jetson-class silicon).## Nice to have* Experience with humanoid or AMR fleet deployments.* Prior work on nav-mesh, BT (behavior trees), or hierarchical planning.## ApplySend a short note and your most relevant work to hello@roamlabs.ai.
