  • 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.
