Role: Robotics Software - Architecture
Location: SF Bay Area (in-person)
About the role
We’re looking for an experienced Robotics Software Engineer to join our team. As an early member, you will play a pivotal role in architecting scalable software for our robots. You will work on building robust and efficient frameworks to support real-time robotics applications. You'll need to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment where you'll wear multiple hats and have a direct impact on our product's evolution. Ideally, you have a proven track record of developing and deploying high-performance software in production, and you're passionate about pushing the boundaries of what's possible in robotics with AI.
What you’ll get to work on
- Develop and deploy robust architectures and frameworks for robotics.
- Help drive our technical approach, with particular focus on real-world deployments.
- Drive system performance and efficiency by optimizing software and communication.
- Optimize the integration of multiple sensing modalities (e.g. cameras, LIDAR, tactile).
- Develop scalable techniques for managing large amounts of data in real-time.
- Incorporate offline and online tools for profiling, memory-management and visualization.
- Contribute across the autonomy stack.
- Collaborate with other teams in the company.
What we look for
- Degree in computer science, robotics, vision, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or other engineering disciplines (or equivalent experience).
- 4+ years of hands-on experience deploying high-performance software in production for robotics applications.
- Experience working with autonomy functions including perception, planning, control, simulation.
- Experience with robotics frameworks like ROS2.
- Experience working with robotics visualization infrastructure (e.g. Isaac Sim, Gazebo).
- Proficient with C++ and comfortable with Python/Rust.
- Should be comfortable taking ownership of tasks with light supervision.
- Must have excellent problem-solving skills.
- Legally authorized to work in the United States.
