The Role
The Role
At Config, we’re on an ambitious mission: to accelerate the deployment of automated robots that are truly useful in the real world.
To achieve this, the robotics systems used for data collection must themselves be capable of executing real-world tasks reliably and with high fidelity. Doing so requires a tightly integrated robotics systems stack — spanning low-latency robot control, embedded sensing and teleoperation, and high-throughput data acquisition infrastructure — that generates the precise, high-quality data our foundation models depend on.
We’re thoughtfully designing and integrating this stack end to end.
We’re looking for exceptionally driven, passionate engineers (Junior, or Senior) who are excited to take ownership, move fast, and build real systems that matter. As a Robotics & Systems Engineer, you will work across the control and hardware layers of this stack. Depending on your background and strengths, you will take ownership of specific components while collaborating closely with teammates working on other parts.
If you’re excited about shaping the physical backbone of next-generation robotic intelligence, we’d love to talk.
