About the role
About Us
At Pickle Robot, we're on a mission to automate global supply chains with Physical AI. Our robots work alongside warehouse teams to unload trucks and containers — one of the toughest, most understaffed jobs in logistics — making the work safer, faster, and more efficient for the people doing it. Loading trucks comes next, followed by the Dill Autonomy Engine: generalized autonomy that will eventually orchestrate robots across entire logistics processes.
We’re looking for a Junior Systems Engineer to join the team that defines what our robotic unloading systems must do and proves that they do it. Physical AI earns its place on a loading dock only when it is specified, traced, and verified like any other engineered system, and that’s the work this team does.
You’ll write and maintain system requirements, trace them from product needs through testing, and help author the design documents and interface definitions that let hardware and software teams build to a shared contract. You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, and our System Verification and Test team, and spend time with the robots so your requirements reflect how the system actually behaves. You’ll see that work tested on robots in our warehouse and at customer sites.
This role suits someone early in their career who likes structure, asks precise questions, and wants to learn how a complex robot comes together across mechanical, electrical, software, and test.
