Networking Engineer for Robotics - San Francisco

Polymath Robotics is creating software that can safely control all of the world’s industrial vehicles, and we’re looking for a Network Engineer / DevOps person to join our small, close‑knit team of roughly 20 people. Our robotics fleet operates in farms, construction sites, and mines, which means they don’t live in a clean Wi‑Fi world. We need someone to own the connectivity stack that keeps those robots online and communicating with our cloud services.

Base pay range

$120,000.00 / yr – $180,000.00 / yr

Overview We need a Networking Engineer to build, troubleshoot, and scale the network layer that ties our systems together, both on the robot and off the robot.

Responsibilities

  • Design and maintain reliable network configurations across edge devices and cloud systems.
  • Build and manage connectivity solutions including VPNs, NAT traversal, LAN / WAN segregation, and cellular‑based links.
  • Develop tools and automation to simplify setup, provisioning, and troubleshooting.
  • Ensure secure connectivity across variable and lossy environments.
  • Collaborate with infrastructure and software teams to embed networking reliability into deployments.
  • Create network monitoring dashboards and alerting for field systems.
  • Document and continuously improve networking best practices for internal and field use.
  • Recommend hardware and software solutions for internal teams, integration partners, and clients.

Qualifications

  • 3–5 years of experience in network engineering or systems administration.
  • Strong understanding of TCP / UDP, routing, NATs, VPNs, DNS, and firewalls.
  • Familiarity with Linux networking tools (iptables, nftables, systemd-networkd, netplan, etc).
  • Experience with cellular and low‑bandwidth communication setups a major plus.
  • Ability to automate network configuration and testing (Python, Bash, etc).
  • Strong debugging skills across both cloud and edge systems.
  • Comfortable bridging software and hardware realities.
  • Familiarity with Peplink hardware in particular is a nice to have.
  • Why Join Polymath Robotics?

  • Collaborative Environment : Work alongside fantastic team members on collaborative projects.
  • Hybrid Workplace : Enjoy the flexibility of a hybrid work model, with engineering based in our SF Mission office three days a week, giving a good balance of maker time and synchronization time.
  • Open Source Advocacy : We support open‑source robotics efforts, allowing our work to be shareable and publishable whenever possible.
  • Humor & Passion : We might occasionally be a bunch of rosbags, but our passion and humor drive us to accelerate the realization of autonomous vehicles in the industry.
  • Application Process

    Interested candidates are invited to submit their resume and any relevant portfolio or project links. A cover letter is optional, but always appreciated.

    Polymath Robotics is an equal‑opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We don’t look for a “cultural fit”; we look for people who add to the culture.
