Promise Robotics is pioneering Physical AI for homebuilding — a rapidly growing, venture-backed company bringing together AI, robotics, and manufacturing to help the homebuilding industry meet the growing demand for housing. Our robotic systems, built and operated inside AI-powered factories, give the industry the production capacity, consistency, and speed to build more high-quality homes than traditional methods allow. Our team spans AI researchers and roboticists to factory operators, technicians, and production teams — all building the future of homebuilding together.
We're building physical AI for housing — and unlike most of the field, our robots are already in production, fabricating real structures and generating real operational data every day across multiple factories.
We’re looking for a Senior Robotics Software Developer to join our team and contribute to developing cutting-edge solutions for our core robotic manufacturing technologies. This is a senior IC role with architectural ownership and mentorship responsibility.
Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics, or related fields (Masters/Ph.D. preferred) plus 5+ years of relevant robotics software experience.
Deep ROS 2 and MoveIt2 experience — motion planning, collision checking, and trajectory optimization (e.g., OMPL, CHOMP/STOMP/TrajOpt-style approaches).
Strong hands-on experience with a robotics simulator (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, or similar) including physics simulation.
Applied or research experience with vision-language-action (VLA) models (e.g., OpenVLA, π0, RT-2-style) or LLM-based task and motion planning.
Sensor systems: industrial cameras, depth sensors, LiDAR, force/torque sensors, laser range finders/projectors.
Benefits:
Competitive salary: we believe in data-driven, equitable compensation decisions. We recently completed a compensation review and implemented salary bands that enable us to pay mid to above-average Canadian salaries across various industries.
Stock options: everyone has a stake in our company.
Holistic benefits: we have a comprehensive benefits package that includes paramedical, dental, vision, and drug coverage for you and your dependents, as well as a health care spending account. These benefits start right from Day 1.
Flexible personal days and vacation policies: we care deeply about the well-being of our team.
Open, collaborative, and supportive culture: you will be part of an incredibly high-performing and collaborative team changing the future of an industry!
Relocation assistance package (if required)
