Embedded Robotics Engineer
About ZYGO
ZYGO is a fast-growing robotics software company building ZYGOS, a skill-based platform that enables robots to adapt, learn, and operate in complex environments. Our robots are deployed in industries where reliability, autonomy, and intelligence truly matter.
*Most people shouldn’t join a startup. Things break, plans change, and there’s no time for endless meetings or perfect processes. It’s action, every day. If that excites you, you’ll fit right in.
The role
We’re looking for a Robotics Engineer to take on a supportive role within our team, contributing to the development and optimization of robotic systems. Your focus will be on implementing robust, reliable solutions for real-world deployment.
What you will do
- Design, implement, and optimize path planners, controllers, and perception systems for autonomous robots.
- Develop and maintain C++-based software for robotics applications, ensuring performance, reliability, and safety.
- Work with ROS2 (a nice-to-have) to integrate and test robotic components, such as sensors, actuators, and navigation stacks.
- Collaborate closely with the team to refine algorithms and systems for real-world deployment.
- Troubleshoot and debug issues in embedded systems, focusing on latency, stability, and robustness.
- Support the integration of new hardware and software components into existing robotic platforms.
What you bring
- Strong C++ expertise, with experience in real-time systems, embedded programming, or robotics.
- Familiarity with path planning, control theory, and sensor fusion.
- Hands-on experience with robotics frameworks (ROS2 is a plus).
- Problem-solving skills and a passion for turning ideas into working systems.
- Ability to work in a collaborative, fast-paced environment and contribute to a supportive team dynamic.
Why ZYGO?
- We're still small enough that you'll shape what ZYGO becomes.
- A team that's actively implementing the latest tech to create Physical AI Agents.
- Lots of learning potential with lots of technologies and senior team members.
- Professional workplace despite the fast-paced growth trajectory.
- Have a real-world impact on jobs that are under a lot of pressure.
- No traffic jams on your way to work and no wannapreneurs next door.
