Robotics Software Engineering Development Program

About the position

The Robotics Software Engineering Development (RSED) program provides you with an opportunity to impact Boston Dynamics' robots while growing as an engineer. You'll develop a strong network inside the company, and by the end of the program, you'll have made contributions across all of our robotics products. You'll gain a clear understanding of how to work in the company's software environment, get hands-on experience growing the infrastructure needed to build amazing robots, and deepen your expertise in many software tools/technologies we rely on. You will rotate through product and R&D software assignments during this 18 month program, while reporting into our Central Software team. You'll learn to work in a fast moving, modern software environment, collaborating with engineers to design, build, test, and commit changes to our systems. Boston Dynamics robots and products are built on a common codebase, and this program provides you the chance to learn about the many types of work needed to ship the world's most impressive robot products. The program prepares participants for roles of growing responsibility through a combination of rotational assignments, structured learning, formalized feedback, and mentoring. At the program end, participants will be placed into roles across Boston Dynamics teams.
