Senior Robotics Systems Engineer - Robot Intelligence
Role Overview
Samsung Research America is looking for a Senior Robotics Systems Engineer to own the end-to-end software architecture for our robot platform, driving technical decisions that shape how hardware and software integrate at scale.
This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role: you won’t inherit a mature codebase—you’ll build the foundations that make it possible.
As an early team member, you’ll work directly across software teams (reasoning, dexterity, perception, simulation) to integrate their work into a cohesive platform.
You’ll establish the architectural patterns, engineering practices, and infrastructure that allow rapid iteration today and maintainable growth tomorrow.
This includes defining component interfaces, building CI/CD pipelines, containerizing environments, and implementing package management and deployment strategies—essentially, laying the technical groundwork for a production robotics system.
Samsung’s unique advantage in the consumer electronics market and growing focus on AI and robotics will provide you with exciting technical challenges and a rewarding career experience.
By leveraging Samsung’s vast product ecosystem to deliver novel user experiences, your work will define Samsung’s future in robotics and significantly impact real-world users.
