Description

  • Develop full-stack software for sensing and robotic systems, including HALs for cameras, laser sensors, and communication interfaces.
  • Build and extend the software architecture that integrates robotic arms, welding systems, and peripheral hardware into a unified control stack.
  • Design and implement robust device drivers, HALs, and ROS-based components for production robotic applications.
  • Develop and optimize software for embedded compute platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson, including real-time and GPU-accelerated workloads.
  • Work closely with hardware, firmware, and systems teams to bring up devices, debug issues across the stack, support deployments, and improve field performance.
  • Drive software architecture decisions across robotics and perception systems.
  • Design, implement, and optimize performance-critical components of the robotics and perception stack in C++ and Python.
  • Develop and integrate 3D point cloud processing algorithms for weld joint perception, including registration, pose estimation, segmentation, and geometric reasoning.
  • Lead the integration of machine learning models into real-time systems, ensuring low-latency, high-reliability performance.
  • Design and implement gRPC/Protobuf service interfaces with schema versioning and backward-compatible API evolution.
  • Instrument perception systems for production observability by building telemetry pipelines that connect algorithmic metrics to business outcomes.

Requirements

  • 3–6 years of software engineering experience in robotics, automation, embedded systems, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering; title and compensation will be commensurate with experience.
  • Strong C++ skills in production environments, with working knowledge of Python for tooling, scripting, and testing.
  • Advanced proficiency in modern C++ and Python, with demonstrated experience building production services using gRPC and Protobuf.
  • Hands-on experience with ROS or ROS2 in deployed systems.
  • Experience building HALs, device drivers, or other low-level software for sensors, actuators, and hardware peripherals.
  • Comfortable with embedded Linux, cross-compilation, and working alongside hardware and firmware engineers to debug integrated systems.
  • Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Solid grasp of system-level software design, concurrency, memory management, and optimization.
  • Experience with robotics or perception applications, including familiarity with ROS/ROS2, motion planning, and hardware interfaces is preferred.
  • Proficient in Linux-based development; experience with Docker strongly preferred.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and equity in a well-funded, high-growth robotics company.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits.
  • 401(k) retirement plan.
  • Flexible PTO.
  • Daily free lunch.
  • 6 weeks fully paid parental leave, plus an additional 6–8 weeks for birthing parents (12–14 weeks total).
  • Generous employee referral bonuses.
