We believe that data-driven machine learning at massive scale is the key to unlocking these capabilities and enabling the widespread deployment of robots across society. We are a new startup headquartered in Bay Area, California, with an office in Seoul, Korea. Our team spans a wide range of backgrounds and experience, from new graduates to seasoned domain experts. What matters most to us is ownership, speed, and intellectual curiosity - people who take responsibility, move fast, and enjoy thinking deeply about hard problems. We are supported by a highly advanced AI Center within KRAFTON, a leading global video game company best known for the genre-defining worldwide success PUBG: Battlegrounds. KRAFTON has extensive experience building and operating large-scale, data-rich products, and we have secured investment from them. This gives us strong long-term backing, deep technical partnership opportunities, and access to world-class infrastructure and talent networks as we push robotic intelligence forward. THE OPPORTUNITY As a Robotics Engineer at Ludo Robotics, you will build the software - and own the hardware integration - that brings our robots to life and bridges our foundation models with reliable, real-world deployment. This is a hands-on, highly technical role at the intersection of software development and systems integration. You will translate complex real-world requirements into robust, deployable robotic solutions, bring them up and validate them on physical hardware, and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ship and continuously improve them. Depending on your strengths, your work may span navigation, motion planning and control, SLAM, perception, manipulation, and high-level behaviors - along with the sensor integration, calibration, and hardware bring-up that make them work on real platforms. You will write production-grade code, deploy state-of-the-art models developed by our research team, and trace and resolve failures across the hardware, software, and model layers. RESPONSIBILITIES - Design, develop, and deploy software for robotic systems - including programming, configuration, and validation - across navigation, motion planning and control, SLAM, perception, manipulation, and/or high-level behaviors. - Write and maintain production-level C++ and Python code for our robotic platforms. - Integrate sensors, actuators, and compute, and lead hardware bring-up, calibration, and validation on real robots. - Deploy, integrate, and monitor robotic solutions in production environments and at field sites, ensuring robust performance and reliability. - Test, troubleshoot, and debug robotic applications - tracing failures across the hardware, software, and model layers and reproducing edge cases. - Work closely with ML and core robotics engineers to deploy state-of-the-art models and translate field learnings into system improvements. - Continuously analyze, improve, and optimize robot algorithms and system performance for reliability and scalability. - Build and maintain technical documentation, runbooks, and tooling, and collaborate across hardware, operations, and R&D teams to optimize performance and scalability. QUALIFICATIONS - BS, MS, or higher degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. - 3+ years of hands-on experience in robotics application development, system integration, or field deployment. - Proficiency in C++ and Python. - Hands-on experience developing and deploying software on real robots. - Working knowledge of ROS/ROS2 or other robotics middleware platforms. - Strong systems-level understanding of the software modules and interfaces in a robotic application, and how they interact with hardware. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS - Strong technical depth in at least one of: navigation, motion planning and control, SLAM, perception/computer vision, or manipulation. --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
