Full Stack Roboticist

About the jobWe're looking for a Full Stack Roboticist to design and implement the control systems that make Physical AI practical and commercially viable through our humanoid robots. You will work alongside a tight-knit team that has been shipping units for the past year, pushing the limits of today’s technology to bring humanoid robots to ever more businesses.About FeatherFeather is a VC-backed startup assembling a world-class team to build general-purpose robots. While competitors pursue end-to-end integration, we are focused on creating the best labor platform on which others will build, monetize, and scale, fostering an ecosystem of solutions akin to Apple’s or Nvidia’s.We’ve moved through the hardware lifecycle at lightspeed -- building our first prototype in two months, fulfilling our first order in nine months (vs. 31 months for Figure), and working with a $4B revenue manufacturer. Our units are deployed across several fields today, including cooking, retail, manufacturing, and more.ResponsibilitiesDevelop, test, and tune low-level and high-level control algorithms for humanoid robotsImplement real-time control strategies for locomotion, manipulation, and whole-body coordinationStress-test our system for edge cases and ensure reliabilityCollaborate with mechanical and AI engineers to integrate perception, planning, and control into a unified systemRun experiments on hardware to evaluate performance, debug complex behaviors, and improve reliabilityWhat we're looking forBackground in control theory, dynamics, calibration, sensor fusion, or classical methodsExperience with one or more of: robot locomotion, manipulation, trajectory optimization, or whole-body controlAbility to develop on modern infrastructure, e.g., ROS2, simulation, and similar toolsStrong programming and debugging in Python, C++, and RustStrong background in low-level systems (firmware, multiprocessing, operating systems)Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related fieldWhy Join UsOwn the whole tech stack and be one of the principal architects of our humanoid robot platform, instead of working on one small fragment of the problem.Shape the future of robotics and physical AI in a talented, driven team that values ownership, speed, and creativityWe have the capital, the hardware ownership, and the generational upside to make this your life's work
