Who tends to fit
You are a builder who isn't satisfied until the robot actually moves. You have a deep physical intuition and understand that software never behaves exactly the same on hardware as it does in a terminal.
Mission
Founding Robotics & Autonomy Engineer
Greater Delhi Area (Hybrid) Full TimeFounding Engineer
Xolver AI is at the forefront of innovation, driving advancements at the intersection of AI, robotics, computer vision, and generative AI. Our mission is to design cutting-edge solutions that transform industries and make a meaningful impact on society. By leveraging state-of-the-art technologies, we develop groundbreaking products to redefine automation and intelligent systems, unlocking new possibilities for the future of Physical Intelligence.
Why this role matters
We are looking for engineers to bridge the software runtime and the physical world, turning verified intents into smooth, precise physical actuation.

Role Context
What this role actually is.
You are the bridge between the software runtime and the physical world. As the Founding Robotics & Autonomy Engineer, you will take the verified intents from our embedded layer and turn them into smooth, precise physical actuation. You will own the hardware bring-up, sensor fusion, and real-world testing that proves our intelligence works outside of a simulation.
This role requires a unique blend of high-level algorithmic thinking and "hands-on" mechanical intuition. You will be responsible for the physical manifestations of our platform, from calibrating teleoperation rigs to ensuring that our motion planning algorithms can handle the messy reality of unstructured environments.
Scope of Work
The Actual Work.
01
Hardware Bring-up & Integration
Lead the physical assembly and calibration of robotic platforms (e.g., ALOHA or Koch rigs). Ensure actuators, encoders, and sensors are synchronized.
02
Motion Planning & Kinematics
Develop and implement robust algorithms for trajectory generation and inverse kinematics for fluid, efficient, and collision-free movement.
03
Sensor Fusion & State Estimation
Integrate and calibrate multi-modal sensor suites (RGB, LiDAR, proprioceptive) to provide high-fidelity state estimation for our models.
04
Real-World Testing & Deployment
Drive the Sim-to-Real transition by deploying and debugging code on physical hardware, identifying where simulation fails to capture reality.
05
Middleware & Communications
Architect the communication backbone between system components using ROS2, ensuring seamless data flow with minimal latency.
What we expect
- Robotics Core: Deep proficiency in C++ and Python within robotics contexts, with a strong grasp of ROS2 middleware.
- Control & Planning: Mastery of classical motion planning, kinematics (Forward/Inverse), and dynamics.
- Hardware Experience: Hands-on experience with mechatronics, hardware bring-up, and debugging actuators and sensors.
- Computer Vision: Familiarity with 3D vision, camera calibration, and point cloud processing.
- Software Engineering: Strong background in Linux systems and version control (Git).
- Preferred: Experience building or maintaining teleoperation systems (e.g., ALOHA, GELLO).
- Preferred: Previous work with low-cost or open-source robotic arms and grippers.
- Preferred: Knowledge of MoveIt or similar planning frameworks.
