<p>About the Role</p> <p>Join the team that's shaping the future of autonomous robotics and material handling. As an R&D Software Engineer at Bastian Solutions, you'll develop the brains behind intelligent robotic systems - from low-level hardware control to high-level autonomy and perception.</p> <p>You'll work on real robots. You'll ship real code. You'll help launch entirely new automation products into warehouses and factories across the world.</p> <p>We don't just build software - we build the future of logistics.</p> <p>About Us</p> <p>Bastian Solutions R&D is the New Product Development (NPD) division of Bastian Solutions, a Toyota Advanced Logistics company. Our mission is to develop original products that expand Bastian's automation capabilities - enabling our commissioning and systems teams to deliver integrated solutions that give our customers a competitive edge.</p> <p>Our ~70-person team is distributed between our Boise, Dallas, and Indianapolis offices, and includes experts in mechanical, electrical, software, and AI disciplines - all with a strong foundation in robotics technology. Beyond our Bastian offices, we collaborate heavily with our Toyota partners to innovate and share our technology globally.</p> <p>Software engineers on our team are true full-stack robotics developers, with opportunities to work across the entire software stack - from high-level autonomy, AI, and perception to low-level motor control, hardware interfaces, and everything in-between. We take products from concept to production-ready designs, and we execute our software on real robot hardware in live customer environments.</p> <p>Above all else, we know that our strength lies in our people. Through strong mentorship, thoughtful planning, and a supportive team culture, we create space for engineers to grow - while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.</p> <p>Your Mission</p> <p>As a Software Engineer on our R&D team, you'll help architect and implement the software that enables our robots to think, move, and interact in the real world.
