About us
At Red Rabbit Robotics, our mission is to tackle the global labor shortage and create a future of abundance. We aim to deploy one million humanoid robots in the next 10 years. Our robots are designed to tackle manual labor across manufacturing, warehouse, logistics and more. Our "teleoperation first" strategy immediately delivers value by providing humanoid labor as a service through remote operators, while simultaneously building a powerful data flywheel that fuels the foundation models for robotics and leads to full autonomy for physical world AI. Founded just a few months ago, we have already built two generations of humanoid robot prototypes, secured venture backing, and attracted major customers eager to try out our solution. Check out our prototype demo videos at www.redrabbitrobotics.ai .

What we believe

We are all about our customers. We talk to real folks in the industry to find out what they actually need, then we build products that solve those problems. Simple as that.

We are agnostic to different technical approaches. There is no single "silver bullet" for real world robotics. We stay open‑minded, keep learning, and try whatever works best.

We keep it practical. For example, our robots have wheels, not legs (no backflips in the near future). We don't waste time over‑engineering fancy features that don't make a real difference for our customers' success.

The role
We're looking for a Robotics Engineer to own the design and implementation of our humanoid robot's control systems. A major responsibility in this role is helping us evaluate and select the right technology stack.



You'll be deeply involved in real‑time control loops, sensor fusion, actuator integration, and higher‑level motion planning algorithms. This role is in person for our Vancouver, Canada office.

What you will do

Design, implement, and optimize real‑time control architectures (manipulation, navigation, teleoperation)

Investigate and compare frameworks and algorithms to guide our core software platform decisions

Integrate sensors (LiDAR, vision, IMU, force/torque) and actuators (BLDC servo motors)

Develop algorithms for motion planning, kinematics, and advanced control strategies

Collaborate closely with hardware and operations teams to ensure cohesive system integration

Create testing procedures for both simulation and real hardware to validate performance and reliability

What you will bring

Proficiency in C++ or Rust (experience with ROS/ROS2 is a big plus)

Robust foundation in control theory, kinematics, and dynamics of robotic systems

Proven track record of shipping code for commercial or open‑source robotics projects that have high impacts.

Experience with real‑time embedded systems and safety‑critical software

Excellent problem‑solving skills and a willingness to adapt and learn

Hands on experience building and debugging electrical and mechanical systems

Knowledge of machine learning for robotics and advanced motion planning

Background using simulation tools like Gazebo, Mujuco or Nvidia Isaac Sim

Being able to speak Chinese and communicating with our vendors directly is a bonus

This role requires shifting working schedules and travelling to the US from time to time
