System Integration Engineer

About Mind Mind Robotics is building Physical AI for real-world industrial deployment, starting with the factory floor. We believe the hardest problems in AI are solved when researchers and engineers are hands-on with the physical world every day - and we're looking for people who are passionate about robotics, value ownership, and are excited to tackle difficult problems. Join us if you want to move beyond digital intelligence and put intelligence into motion. About The Team And The Role At Mind Robotics, we're building generalized physical AI — robotic systems capable of dexterous, adaptive, and reasoning-intensive work in real-world industrial environments. Integration is where it all comes together: the moment mechanical, electrical, firmware, controls, and software stop being separate subsystems and have to behave as one robot. We're looking for a System Integration Engineer to own bring-up and debug across the robot — from first power-on of a new subsystem to the hard interactions that only surface when everything is running together. You'll be on the bench as much as at a keyboard, working at the intersection of mechanical, electrical, firmware, controls, and software to get every build from first prototype to a robot that works reliably in the field. Responsibilities Lead bring-up of new subsystems and full-robot builds and assist with validation, coordinating across electrical, mechanical, firmware, controls, and software teamsDebug hardware-software interactions hands-on during design, launch, and field deployment — pulling and analyzing logs and adding debug instrumentation/tracing to firmware and software to isolate root causeLead calibration and tuning efforts to hit subsystem and robot-level performance targetsPrototype and characterize components and full systems; build early prototypes to de-risk new technologies before committing to production architectureExecute system-level test plans from bench testing through field deployment, and turn real-world failures into repeatable test casesWrite scripts and tooling to improve bring-up, validation, and triage efficiencyInstrument systems and analyze noisy hardware data; communicate findings clearly across mechanical, electrical, and software teamsSurface nth-order impacts of electrical, software, or process changes before they become problemsFeed interface and requirements feedback from the bench back to the Systems Engineering team, and provide integration data and open-issue status for readiness reviews Requirements Degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience2+ years in systems integration, systems engineering, or a cross-disciplinary hardware role involving complex electromechanical or robotic productsStrong hardware and software fundamentals — able to bridge electrical schematics, embedded communication protocols, and firmware architecture; comfortable with a scope and multimeter during bring-upHands-on experience debugging complex subsystems involving networked microprocessors, embedded Linux, and software-controlled electromechanical devices — comfortable reading and modifying C/C++ firmware/software yourself to add debug logging, instrument code paths, and iterate on a fix, not just reading code to hand off to firmware engineersAble to write scripts or tooling to improve bring-up and validation efficiencyProficient in data analysis and visualization — able to extract signal from noisy hardware dataYou are comfortable with ambiguity, move fast, and have an "engineering curiosity" that drives you to understand how the entire system works, not just your part Nice To Haves Background in robotics, EV powertrains, drones, or other dense electromechanical systemsExposure to manufacturing self-test design or service diagnosticsFamiliarity with functional safety concepts or automotive/robotics validation processes
