This Software Engineering role will be primarily supporting our new Outreach Center in Kendall Square, Cambridge. The mission of the Outreach Center is to show the public the current state-of-the-art of robotics and encourage them to engage with our robots via hands-on exhibits. Engineers on the Outreach Team will take internal demos from the AI Institute and redesign and expand them into fun, dynamic, and educational demos that will be used in our Outreach Center. Exhibits will rotate every three to six months, resulting in a consistent stream of innovative projects for the Outreach Team to tackle.

The Outreach Team is seeking diverse, thoughtful, and motivated team members who have experience creating projects. If possible, please include a portfolio with your application.
