UI Software Engineer

Our Mission

Our mission is to solve the most important and fundamental challenges in AI and Robotics to enable future generations of intelligent machines that will help us all live better lives.

This User Interface Software Engineering role will be primarily supporting our new Outreach Center in Kendall Square, Cambridge. The mission of the Outreach Center is to show the public the current state-of-the-art of robotics and encourage them to engage with our robots via hands-on exhibits. Engineers on the Outreach Team will take internal demos from the AI Institute and redesign and expand them into fun, dynamic, and educational demos that will be used in our Outreach Center. Exhibits will rotate every three to six months, resulting in a consistent stream of innovative projects for the Outreach Team to tackle.
