Software Engineer, Optimus Diagnostics

What You'll Do

• Design, implement, and maintain Optimus diagnostic capabilities in Toolbox, our diagnostic platform
• Build full-stack features across React/TypeScript front ends and Python/Go backends that connect to robot telemetry, firmware APIs, and diagnostic services
• Develop diagnostic workflows and automation that reduce time-to-diagnose for manufacturing bring-up, production, and service
• Improve observability, reliability, and performance of Optimus diagnostic paths (connection state, streaming, auth, command dispatch, logging)
• Partner with Optimus firmware and systems engineers to expose the right alerts, signals, vitals, and service actions in tooling
• Debug production issues in diagnostic software, root-cause failures, and ship timely fixes
• Participate in architecture and design reviews as Optimus diagnostic volume and product surface area grow

What You'll Bring

• Degree in Computer Science, or equivalent experience
• 3+ years of software development experience
• Proficiency in Python or Go, and modern frontend development (React/TypeScript or similar)
• Experience building and operating production web applications or internal developer/operator tools
• Strong debugging skills across the stack: UI, APIs, networking, and authentication
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with incomplete requirements and real-world production constraints
• Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to collaborate with firmware, manufacturing, and service stakeholders
• Bias for ownership: you finish what you start and measure success by time-to-resolution for users, not tickets closed
• Experience with Linux, containers (Docker/Kubernetes), and CI/CD for services used by operations teams (a plus)
• Experience with robotics, industrial automation, vehicle diagnostics, live telemetry, streaming protocols, or remote device management (a nice to have)
