Job description

10Beauty is a robotics startup based in Burlington, MA. We have raised $70M from some of the leading venture and celebrity investors in the country to build the world’s first fully autonomous manicure machine. We have pre-sold our first 1,000 machines to some of the most iconic brands in America, including Ulta Beauty and Nordstrom.

As of November 2025, we have launched our first robot at Ulta Beauty in Everett. We are a fast growing 50+ person organization with deep robotics experience. Come join the company who will put 'beauty robotics' on the map!

Introduction:

As a Principal Embedded Software Engineer at 10Beauty, you will play a critical role in architecting and delivering the embedded systems that power our next-generation autonomous manicure robot. This is a highly impactful position for an engineer who thrives at the intersection of hardware and software, is passionate about robotics, and is energized by solving complex real-world problems in a fast-paced startup environment!

What You'll Do:

Own and evolve the long-term technical architecture of the embedded software that powers our robotic consumer product, with a focus on its performance and reliability in a production environment
Lead the design, development, and optimization of core embedded software components (primarily in C++ on Raspberry Pi 4/Linux) that control our advanced robotic systems
Serve as a subject matter expert, tackling the most ambiguous and technically challenging system-level issues that cross disciplines (electrical, mechanical, and computer vision)
Drive the technical roadmap for robotic control systems, exploring and integrating new technologies and algorithms
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to other engineers, helping them grow and solve complex problems

What You Have:

8+ years of proven experience in embedded software development, with a track record of successfully shipping multiple complex hardware products, most ideally within robotics
Deep expertise in C++ for embedded systems, with a mastery of system design, low-level debugging, and performance optimization.
Demonstrated expertise in architecting and leading the development of large-scale, real-time, and safety-critical embedded systems.
Proven ability to solve highly ambiguous and technically challenging problems in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
Extensive experience with Linux-based embedded systems, hardware/software integration, and real-time constraints.
Experience with embedded systems in a robotics or electromechanical context is highly preferred.

At 10Beauty, we consider a wide-range of factors when determining compensation, based on individual qualifications, skills, and experience. Equity and benefits are included for all full-time employees. If you believe you can contribute to our team, we invite you to apply. We appreciate diversity and welcome those who can bring fresh perspectives and skills to our team.
