The Bigger Picture
At Andromeda Robotics, we're not just imagining the future of human-robot relationships, we're building it. As a pioneering social robotics startup, our mission is to revolutionise how humans connect with technology by introducing Abi, the world's first empathetic companion robot. With a heart full of compassion and a spirit of kindness, Abi creates deep, meaningful connections with people, making the world a little warmer, a little brighter, and a lot more connected. Just like the beloved characters in your favourite stories, Abi is here to listen, understand, and share joyful moments.
Your Role in the Action
As a Software Engineer at Andromeda Robotics, you'll help take Abi from prototype to production-ready deployment. You will build the core software that makes Abi think, move, and connect. You'll work across real-time control, high-level decision-making, perception, and communication systems, ensuring Abi's software is as robust in the lab as it is in the real world.
You will collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and UX teams to integrate your code into fully functional robots, deploying to hardware and iterating in the field. You will tackle challenges in sensor fusion, motion planning, computer vision, and robotic middleware, while ensuring the entire stack remains clean, maintainable, and high-performing. Your work will not just make Abi operational, it will make Abi feel alive.
How You'll Make An Impact

- Design, implement, and optimise core robotic software for real-time control and high-level autonomy.
- Develop systems for perception, sensor fusion, motion planning, and inter-robot communication.
- Integrate software seamlessly with hardware, working hand-in-hand with mechanical, electrical, and design teams.
- Write production-quality code in C++, Python, or Rust, following best practices for performance and maintainability.
- Leverage robotic middleware (ROS2, Zenoh, or custom solutions) to power communication and modularity.
- Apply test-driven development, writing unit and integration tests to ensure robustness in deployment.
- Deploy and validate software on hardware prototypes and production robots, iterating quickly based on real-world feedback.
- Debug and optimise for performance, reliability, and fault tolerance.
- Maintain clear documentation and follow disciplined version control practices (Git, CI/CD).




- Stay ahead of the curve with emerging robotics and AI developments, applying innovations where they add value

Requirements
What We Are Looking For

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
- 2-5 years of professional software development experience (beyond internships), preferably in robotics or embedded systems.
- Strong proficiency in C++, Python, or Rust within Linux-based environments.
- Familiarity with version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing.
- Experience with robotic middleware such as ROS2 or Zenoh.
- Understanding of real-time systems, networking, or simulation tools (Gazebo, Webots) is advantageous.
- Exposure to computer vision, SLAM, or machine learning pipelines is a plus.
- Strong systems-thinking approach with practical problem-solving skills.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, cross-functional R&D; environment

Bonus Qualifications

- Experience in distributed systems or multi-robot communication architectures.
- Knowledge of GPU-accelerated computing for perception or planning tasks.
- Familiarity with DevOps workflows for robotics deployments.
- Contributions to open-source robotics projects.
- A track record of tinkering with robotics, drones, or embedded projects in your own time.

Why Join Us

- You will be one of the early builders behind a product the world has never seen before.
- You will work on a deeply cross-functional team blending robotics, AI, and design into one magical product.
- You will own software that goes all the way from idea to real-world impact, not just one layer of the stack.
- You will have the autonomy to move fast, the backing of top-tier investors, and the opportunity to do the best work of your career

The salary for this position may vary depending on factors such as job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may also include additional benefits or components based on the specific role. Details will be provided if an employment offer is made.
If you're excited about this role but don't meet every requirement, that's okay, we encourage you to apply. At Andromeda Robotics, we celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Let's build the future together.
