Job Description

Introduction & Engagement Summary

This Statement of Work outlines the terms and expectations for recruiting services related to the placement of a Robotics Research Engineer (RCC-11) based in Palo Alto, California.

The ideal candidate demonstrates strong programming ability (often in Python and/or C++), experience applying machine learning or advanced algorithms to robotics challenges, and hands-on exposure to hardware, embedded systems, or electromechanical integration.
