01
Robotics Software Engineers
Engineers building the software stack that runs robots in real environments, from middleware to deployment.
Robotics & Embodied AI
Robotics recruitmentfor embodied AI and autonomous systems.
Lio recruits robotics engineers and embodied AI specialists for companies building machines that perceive and act in the physical world. These roles sit where hardware, software and machine learning meet, so we assess candidates across all three.

Our perspective
What makes robotics hiring specialist
A robotics engineer has to think across the whole physical system. Candidates who work only in software or only in simulation often struggle when a real robot fails in unexpected ways. We look for people who have debugged systems in the field, understand the trade-offs between hardware constraints and learning-based approaches, and can explain how they validated their work.
Robotics and embodied AI teams often need a mix of disciplines that rarely appear together on one CV. We help hiring managers decide which skills must be present in every hire and which can be built within the team, so the search is realistic and the shortlist is strong.
We work with robotics companies across the US.
Challenges
What robotics teams ask us about
- 01
Finding hybrid hardware and software experience
The strongest candidates are rare. We look for depth in one area and evidence of working across the boundary between hardware and software.
- 02
Assessing real-world experience
Many robotics demonstrations look convincing in controlled settings. We help teams probe how candidates handle failure, edge cases and deployment.
- 03
Hiring for the next stage
A robotics team changes quickly as products move from prototype to production. We help define each role for the stage the company is about to reach.
