About Elevate Robotics

We build multi-purpose robots that solve scalable industrial use cases. Our executive team previously founded Plus One Robotics and Fox Robotics. We have a small, highly talented hardware and software team. We plan to deploy 1 million robots in 10 years. We’re not a humanoid company.

Why This Role Exists

We need to deliver v1 of an indoor navigation stack (mapping + localization + planning + control) by December 2025. You will own that charter end-to-end, from algorithm design through on-floor validation.

Must-Haves

5+ years shipping real-world navigation on mobile robots (warehouse or factory preferred).
Planning, trajectory optimization and control for wheeled, indoor robots.
C++, software development, software design.
Comfort debugging on-robot, log analysis, field testing.

Nice-to-Haves

Python
Deployment of lidar and/or vision-based SLAM or tightly-coupled localization.
NERF, Gaussian Splats, etc...
Safety-rated navigation, experience with B56.5 compliance.
Simulation for development and testing.

How We Work

High ownership, fast feedback, no bureaucracy
Intense, but not a death march
Small software team with relatively general skills
AI-friendly

Compensation includes significant equity.
