  • Work closely with autonomy, firmware, and mechatronics engineers to create seamless human-machine interaction.
  • Contribute to the evolution of our Control Center platform , ensuring scalability, reliability, and great UX.
  • Develop real‑time logging, diagnostics, and event‑recording tools to support compliance and traceability.

  • Background in industrial automation, fleet control, or robotics UI design .
  • Knowledge of AI-driven monitoring, telemetry analytics , or simulation tools.
  • Comfort working with hardware interfaces (CAN, serial, Ethernet).
  • Familiarity with cross-platform app deployment (Windows / Linux / mobile).
  • Why Bright Autonomy

  • Build the control center behind real autonomous fleets operating in the field.
  • Join a fast-moving, multidisciplinary team shaping the future of automation.
  • Work on meaningful tech that combines autonomy, AI, and real-world impact.
