Promise Robotics is pioneering Physical AI for homebuilding — a rapidly growing venture-backed company bringing together AI robotics and manufacturing to help the homebuilding industry meet the growing demand for housing. Our robotic systems built and operated inside AI-powered factories give the industry the production capacity consistency and speed to build more high-quality homes than traditional methods allow. Our team spans AI researchers and roboticists to factory operators technicians and production teams — all building the future of homebuilding together. We're building physical AI for housing — and unlike most of the field our robots are already in production fabricating real structures and generating real operational data every day across multiple factories. We’re looking for a Senior Robotics Software Developer to join our team and contribute to developing cutting-edge solutions for our core robotic manufacturing technologies. This is a senior IC role with architectural ownership and mentorship responsibility. ➡ Why join us? ➡ Purpose-Driven Work Contribute to projects with significant social economic and environmental impact. Growth Opportunities Be part of a growth-stage startup with substantial upside and leadership potential. Cutting-Edge Technology Work on state-of-the-art robotics solutions at the intersection of construction and automation. Collaborative Culture Join a diverse high-performing team committed to continuous learning and innovation. What you'll do ➡ Lead the development of robotic simulators — set up and extend simulation environments and test scenarios that mirror our production cells. Lead the effort in motion planning and optimization — develop and optimize motion-planning and collision-checking behaviors in ROS 2 / MoveIt2. Develop perception components — implement object detection pose estimation and point-cloud processing tasks for material handling and inspection. Write clean tested code — produce well-documented C++ and Python backed by unit and integration tests. Debug integration issues — help troubleshoot software–hardware issues alongside the robotics and hardware teams. Set the engineering bar — define standards for architecture testing and code quality lead code reviews mentor junior and mid-level developers. What you'll need to succeed ➡ Degree in Computer Science Robotics Mechatronics or related fields (Masters/Ph.D. preferred) plus 5+ years of relevant robotics software experience. Expert-level C++ and Python with a track record of shipping production-quality robotics software. Strong fundamentals in algorithms data structures and basic control concepts. Deep ROS 2 and MoveIt2 experience — motion planning collision checking and trajectory optimization (e.g. OMPL CHOMP/STOMP/TrajOpt-style approaches). Ability to solve complex problems involving multi-disciplinary engineering concepts. Strong hands-on experience with a robotics simulator (Gazebo Isaac Sim MuJoCo or similar) including physics simulation. Exposure to computer vision or perception concepts. Eagerness to learn take feedback and work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced startup. Willingness to work onsite at our R&D labs and production facilities in Edmonton and Calgary Alberta. Preferred Skills Experiential knowledge using Isaac Sim / Omniverse or similar simulation tools. Applied or research experience with vision-language-action (VLA) models (e.g. OpenVLA π0 RT-2-style) or LLM-based task and motion planning. Industrial robot programming (KUKA ABB or Fanuc) and familiarity with vendor sensor/communication interfaces. Sensor systems industrial cameras depth sensors LiDAR force/torque sensors laser range finders/projectors. Digital-twin technologies for validation and predictive maintenance. Machine learning / deep learning applied to robotics. Working knowledge of CSA Z434 and ISO 10218-2 safety standards for industrial robot systems and cell integration. Experience in a fast-paced startup or scaling deep-tech environment. ➡ Benefits Competitive salary we believe in data-driven equitable compensation decisions. We recently completed a compensation review and implemented salary bands that enable us to pay mid to above-average Canadian salaries across various industries. Stock options everyone has a stake in our company.
