Lead Front End Developer

Based in Pasadena, CA

OffWorld is a robotics startup working on developing a mobile robotic workforce for heavy industrial jobs on Earth, Moon, asteroids & Mars. OffWorld was founded by an experienced engineering team drawing on decades of tackling formidable engineering challenges at NASA, ESA, NOAA, Maxar Technologies, CERN, Reaction Engines, SAFRAN, Surrey Satellites and Cisco. OffWorld’s first challenge is developing and maturing a modular robotic system for extreme environments on Earth. Our robots will go deeper underground and farthest on Earth than humans can, eliminate the need for humans to work in life-threatening environments in mining, construction, tunneling and other dangerous industries, and dramatically reduce the environmental footprint and cost of operations in key economies on Earth and beyond.

We have designed a modular robotic architecture that focuses on maximizing the commonality and reusability across components for fast deployment and optimization. Our robotic systems combine sensor information, cutting edge classical/machine learning (ML) algorithms and a robotics real-time system platform for control, decision making and execution.

We are seeking a highly motivated Lead Front End Developer to join our growing team. In this role, you will be responsible for leading the development of the user interface of our modular robotic system for mining on Earth. This system will revolutionize the mining industry by minimizing human participation in mining operations and eliminating the need for humans to work in life-threatening underground environments.

Your work will entail both design and implementation of responsive and intuitive interfaces (computer and smart pad displays, joysticks, and other types of interfaces) that can ensure low human intervention and maximum situational awareness for remote monitoring on the field using a remote low latency networking infrastructure. You will be responsible for the integration and testing of robust, intrinsically safe components, with maximum levels of reliability, performance, and efficiency. You will work with the Mechatronics, Machine Learning (ML), and Robotics & Controls engineers to ensure interfacing between the UI and the firmware, controls, and ML modules is seamless. Your work will be instrumental to ensure effective autonomous operations as a swarm is achieved with maximum human visualization and minimal human intervention.

To hit the ground running, you need:

• BSc or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent with at least 2 years of professional experience
• Practical experience in the development of UX/UI solutions for IOT, industrial, automotive, robotics applications or equivalent
• Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Experience with the implementation of solutions for multiple platforms, such as computer, tablet and phone displays, as well as hybrid solutions (display and joystick, etc)
• Experience with React, Angular, and other modern JS libraries
• Experience with web technologies such as RESTful APIs and WebSockets
• Knowledge of UI/UX design principles and best practices
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
• Experience with the implementation of UX/UI designs for autonomous driving and/or mobile robotics
• Experience in collaborative design to develop products with Teams of Mechatronics, Robotics and Industrial engineers is desired
• Capable of developing effective partnerships with engineers and product managers to define requirements and translate user needs into effective, elegant, and intuitive designs
• Excellent verbal and written/online communication skills
• Demonstrated ability to manage and organize your work to meet deadlines. Comfortable multi-tasking/working on different projects concurrently
• Self-driven, passionate, and constantly pursuing knowledge and excellence
• Nothing-is-impossible attitude

In a nutshell, we offer the:

• Opportunity to sink your teeth into cutting edge industrial robotics problems
• Opportunity to contribute to the mission of transforming how we mine on Earth today and how we will one day mine on the Moon, asteroids & Mars
• Opportunity to work with a kind, brilliant and supportive team
• Opportunity to join the OffWorld team if
  • You are as crazy-excited about the mission as we are
  • You’ve demonstrated you are The Right Stuff

Expected Compensation:

• $90,000 - $150,000/annual salary + stock awards + benefits

Our benefits package includes the following:

• Robust medical plan offerings with 0 to limited paycheck deductions
• Dental and vision insurance
• Unlimited Paid Time Off
• 401K Match

Pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package for this position may also include other elements dependent on the position offered.
