Robotics & Agentic Harness Engineer

We are seeking a visionary engineer to build foundational infrastructure that powers autonomous agentic systems, focusing on both large-scale software codebases and physical Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing rigs. This role involves architecting secure sandboxes, execution wrappers, and automated test environments for LLMs, VLMs, and autonomous agents. If you thrive at the intersection of AI orchestration, complex software engineering, and physical hardware, we want to hear from you.

• Education: B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 3 years of professional experience building complex software infrastructure, developer tooling, robotics harnesses, or autonomous agent frameworks.
• Deep proficiency in Python and C.
• Experience with large, distributed codebases, static analysis tools, abstract syntax trees (ASTs), and repository-level developer infrastructure.
• Hands-on experience with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing and interfacing with physical sensors, actuators, and test bench equipment.
• Familiarity with LLM function calling, vector search, code-generation agents, and context management for large repositories.
• Experience setting up automated testing pipelines, Docker containerization, telemetry logging platforms, and remote hardware test fleets.
• Prior work experience in the client's industry.

Applicants must be able to work directly for Artech on W2.

• Experience with AI orchestration tools and frameworks.
• Knowledge of safety and deterministic guardrails in software and hardware systems.
• Experience in cross-functional collaboration with firmware engineers and robotics control teams.

• Design and maintain agentic harnesses for large, complex, and multi-language codebases.
• Build and scale automated HIL test benches integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
• Implement multi-layer safety wrappers for software and hardware executions.
• Create feedback loops for sensor logs, error traces, and hardware telemetry during HIL runs.
• Build frameworks for autonomous test generation and execution.
• Collaborate with firmware engineers, robotics control teams, and software architects.

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Flexible work hours and remote work options.
• Opportunities for professional development and career growth.
