At Coco, we’re reimagining last-mile delivery with a fleet of robots built for the real world. Our mission is to make delivery more accessible, reliable, and sustainable—and robotics is at the heart of it all.

As a Robotics Engineer, you’ll help shape the autonomy stack that powers every Coco robot. From real-time sensor fusion to intelligent navigation, you’ll design systems that perceive, plan, and react with safety and efficiency. If you’re excited about building robots at scale—and putting them to work in real cities—you’ll fit right in.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, build, and test core robotics software for perception and navigation

  • Develop and maintain ROS-based systems for real-time operation

  • Work on localization, mapping, and path-planning pipelines

  • Integrate and process data from LiDAR, cameras, GPS, and other sensors

  • Debug complex robotics systems in the field and in simulation

  • Collaborate with autonomy, hardware, and teleops teams to deliver production-ready systems

Basic Qualifications

  • BS in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field

  • 3+ years of experience developing robotics software

  • Strong proficiency with ROS (Robot Operating System)

  • Solid experience in robot positioning and navigation

  • Skilled in C++ and Python

  • Experience integrating and processing sensor data (LiDAR, GPS, IMU, etc.)

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with autonomous driving or mobile robotics platforms

  • Familiarity with SLAM, behavior trees, or motion planning

  • Experience with camera perception or visual odometry

  • Exposure to field testing and real-world deployments

Compensation Range: $140K - $200K
