About the role
About the Role
DeepAware AI (YC S25) is building secure, efficient, and autonomous infrastructure for the AI era. As a Robotics Engineer, you’ll develop and integrate autonomous systems that enable 24/7 inspections, cable swaps, and maintenance in large-scale data centers. Your work will bridge the gap between physical robotics and our AI-powered Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) platform — creating the “robotic hands” for next-gen AI infrastructure.
Responsibilities
- Design robotic manipulation and navigation systems optimized for constrained, high-density environments
- Integrate vision systems for automated inspections and anomaly detection
- Collaborate with AI/ML engineers to connect robotics control with real-time DCIM data pipelines
- Prototype, test, and refine robotic hardware/software at pilot deployment sites
- Ensure reliability, safety, and scalability of robotics solutions for continuous operations
Requirements
- Proficiency with robotics frameworks such as ROS/ROS2, MoveIt, and OpenCV
- Hands-on experience in autonomous navigation and robotic manipulation
- Ability to work across hardware and software components, including embedded systems and control algorithms
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to iterate quickly in a startup environment
Nice-to-Have
- Experience with industrial robotics or data center operations
- Knowledge of computer vision model training and deployment
- Familiarity with robotic arm kinematics, path planning, and sensor fusion
Location:
Bay Area, CA preferred
Why DeepAware?
You’ll be at the forefront of integrating robotics into AI infrastructure — working on mission-critical systems that keep the world’s AI running securely and sustainably. Your contributions will directly shape how data centers operate in the coming decade.
About DeepAware AI
DeepAware (Silicon Valley Robotics Center) builds the full stack for physical AI — spanning hardware, data, and training.
We source and ship robots and robotics parts across the US within 72 hours: humanoid robots, quadrupeds, robotic arms, tactile sensors, cameras, and dexterous hands. Beyond hardware, we help enterprises collect teleoperation data, build reinforcement learning environments, and deploy robots into production.
Our early customers include AI data centers, industrial operations, research labs, and event producers. We're solving real problems at the intersection of AI, robotics, and supply chain — and we're moving fast.
If you're excited about building the physical automation layer for the AI era, and want to work across software, hardware, and real-world deployment — you'll fit right in at DeepAware.
