About this 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.
