PAL Robotics’ mission is to create disruptive service robots that enhance society’s quality of life and solve daily problems. Robotics can make a difference by collaborating with humans, providing support for domestic tasks and increasing efficiency in industrial workflows.

We develop customizable, tailor-made platforms and modular robotic parts that adjust to people’s needs. We design and manufacture highly integrated and reliable solutions for service industries and research institutions worldwide.

PAL Robotics started in 2004, when a small group of engineers built the first fully autonomous humanoid biped robot in Europe. With over 15 years of experience in R&D, today we are known for our humanoid and mobile robots used for research, logistics, retail and social applications for companies, institutions and labs.

We are looking for Senior Software Engineers with strong knowledge in C++/Python software development as well as proven experience leading and mentoring software engineers to help improve their skills, efficiency and productivity.

As a Senior Software Development Engineer you will have the opportunity for end-to-end ownership of impactful product features from invention to design and implementation. As a leader on the team you will influence our strategy and drive best practices that enable a quality product.  You will be responsible for developing and maintaining the company’s core applications and validation tools, and testing software and robotic platforms.

Our ideal candidate is excited about the incredible opportunity robotics represents and is deeply passionate about working with great teams that deliver the highest quality services.
