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 Robotics Software Developer to join our team and contribute to developing cutting-edge solutions for our core robotic manufacturing technologies. This is an early-career role for someone with strong fundamentals and hands-on robotics project experience who wants to develop it in production.
Why join us?
- Purpose-Driven Work: Contribute to projects with significant social, economic, and environmental impact.
- Growth Opportunities: Be part of a growth-stage startup with substantial upside and leadership potential.
- Cutting-Edge Technology: Work on state-of-the-art robotics solutions at the intersection of construction and automation.
- Collaborative Culture: Join a diverse, high-performing team committed to continuous learning and innovation.
What you'll do:
- Build and maintain simulation scenes — set up and extend simulation environments and test scenarios that mirror our production cells.
- Implement motion routines — develop and tune motion-planning and collision-checking behaviors in ROS 2 / MoveIt2 under the guidance of senior engineers.
- Develop perception components — implement object detection, pose estimation, and point-cloud processing tasks for material handling and inspection.
- Write clean, tested code — produce well-documented C++ and Python, backed by unit and integration tests.
- Debug integration issues — help troubleshoot software–hardware issues alongside the robotics and hardware teams.
- Participate in the team's practices — contribute to code reviews, agile ceremonies, and CI pipelines.
What you'll need to succeed:
-
Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or related fields (Masters/Ph.D. preferred).
-
Solid programming ability in C++ and/or Python.
-
Strong fundamentals in algorithms, data structures, and basic control concepts.
-
Ability to solve complex problems involving multi-disciplinary engineering concepts.
-
Hands-on experience with ROS or ROS 2 — through projects, internships, co-ops, or coursework.
-
Familiarity with at least one robotics simulator (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, PyBullet, or similar).
-
Exposure to computer vision or perception concepts.
-
Eagerness to learn, take feedback, and work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced startup.
-
Willingness to work onsite at our R&D labs and production facilities in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta.
Preferred Skills:
- An internship, co-op, competition team (e.g., robotics/autonomy), or a portfolio of robotics projects.
- Experience with MoveIt2 or another motion-planning framework.
- Familiarity with Isaac Sim / Omniverse or similar simulation tools.
- Coursework, research, or side projects involving VLA models, LLMs, or machine learning for robotics.
- Any exposure to industrial robots (KUKA, ABB, Fanuc) or sensor systems (cameras, depth sensors, force sensors, LiDAR).
- DevOps basics — Docker, Git, CI/CD.
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)
