Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will design, develop, and deploy software for robotic systems while leading hardware integration and validation on physical platforms. The role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to translate complex requirements into robust, deployable robotic solutions.
Candidates must have a degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related engineering field and 3-5+ years of hands-on experience in robotics application development. Proficiency in C++ and Python, along with experience in ROS/ROS2 and real-world hardware integration, is required.
THE COMPANY
LUDO ROBOTICS is dedicated to building general-purpose robotic intelligence systems that are robust, adaptive, and capable of handling real-world scenarios. We believe that data-driven machine learning at massive scale is the key to unlocking these capabilities and enabling the widespread deployment of robots across society.
We are a new startup headquartered in Bay Area, California, with an office in Seoul, Korea. Our team spans a wide range of backgrounds and experience, from new graduates to seasoned domain experts. What matters most to us is ownership, speed, and intellectual curiosity - people who take responsibility, move fast, and enjoy thinking deeply about hard problems.
We are supported by a highly advanced AI Center within KRAFTON, a leading global video game company best known for the genre-defining worldwide success PUBG: Battlegrounds. KRAFTON has extensive experience building and operating large-scale, data-rich products, and we have secured investment from them. This gives us strong long-term backing, deep technical partnership opportunities, and access to world-class infrastructure and talent networks as we push robotic intelligence forward.
THE OPPORTUNITY
As a Robotics Engineer at Ludo Robotics, you will build the software - and own the hardware integration - that brings our robots to life and bridges our foundation models with reliable, real-world deployment. This is a hands-on, highly technical role at the intersection of software development and systems integration. You will translate complex real-world requirements into robust, deployable robotic solutions, bring them up and validate them on physical hardware, and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ship and continuously improve them.
Depending on your strengths, your work may span navigation, motion planning and control, SLAM, perception, manipulation, and high-level behaviors - along with the sensor integration, calibration, and hardware bring-up that make them work on real platforms. You will write production-grade code, deploy state-of-the-art models developed by our research team, and trace and resolve failures across the hardware, software, and model layers.
