At a glance

CircuitHub is reshaping electronics manufacturing with The Grid, a factory-scale robotics platform that makes small-batch, high-mix electronics assembly radically more efficient. Think semiconductor-fab precision applied to the chaotic world of prototyping and low-volume production: a 10x throughput improvement in one of the world's most foundational industries.
We've raised $45M from top-tier investors including Plural, Y Combinator and Google Ventures, and we're already profitable. Our customers include a major EV maker, a top AI lab and many of the worlds largest companies.
The Grid isn't a prototype. It's live, scaling fast and delivering real revenue, and we're building the team that will scale it further.

CircuitHub is seeking a Software Engineer, Robotics to architect the robot operating system for The Grid, a factory-scale robotics platform.
You will integrate novel computer vision algorithms, build agentic robotics, and coordinate a fleet of movers and hardware in a production environment.

Architect the robot operating system by designing core abstractions for how robots, cameras, tools, and jobs are modelled, work is planned and dispatched, state is shared, and failures are handled.
Integrate novel computer vision algorithms into the control loop for tasks such as finding and centring parts and checking every pick and placement.
Put large models to work in the robots for programming new parts from datasheets, judging picks, diagnosing faults, and recovering with evals.
Route dozens of movers at once without collisions or deadlocks and coordinate gantries, printers, and ovens.
Design clean interfaces between high-level planning and real-time controllers driving the motors.
Build simulation, tracing, and replay systems to ensure changes are proven before reaching the factory and failures can be explained.

Experience working on and ideally architecting a large-scale robot code base running on real hardware in production.
Strong software engineering skills in Python and Rust (or C++ and a willingness to move to Rust), with a focus on types, testing, concurrency, and architecture.
Experience with motion or path planning, multi-robot coordination, controls, perception, or scheduling.
Hands-on experience applying large models (LLMs or vision-language models) to robotics, or a strong drive to do so.
Ability to use coding agents to move faster and take full ownership of their output.
Willingness to visit factories in the US and UK to see code run.
