Job Description:

As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer on the Real‑Time Software Team, you will work at the intersection of software, hardware, firmware, AI, and production to build the core systems that run on future generations of humanoid robots. You will develop real‑time C++ software, build tools for system identification and calibration, integrate with sensors and hardware, and help ensure the health, reliability, and safety of robots that will eventually be deployed at scale.

Job Responsibility:

Develop production‑grade, real‑time C++ software for robust control systems
Design efficient algorithms for state estimation
Create tooling for system identification, precise calibration of actuators, transmissions, and full‑body kinematics
Integrate hardware components and evaluate sensors for seamless functionality
Build hardware bring‑up and debugging tools
Develop software for robot health monitoring, visualization, and logging
Build and maintain APIs for other software components to command and control the robot

Requirements:

3+ years of professional software engineering experience in a relevant robotics field
Excellence in C++ and strong proficiency in other programming languages
Experience with Linux deployed in hardware‑oriented products (e.g., IoT devices, robots, drones, automotive)
Thorough understanding of object‑oriented programming, real‑time programming, linear algebra, data structures, and algorithms
Experience with product development practices including release mechanisms, continuous integration, and continuous deployment
Strong Linux system‑level knowledge: kernel tuning, process scheduling, memory management for optimized performance in robotics applications (preferred)
Solid understanding of rigid body dynamics and numerical optimization techniques, with application to real‑time systems (preferred)
Experience writing embedded C for interfacing with sensors or actuators and other parts of the embedded stack (preferred)
Hands‑on with robotics hardware
having built your own robot or tinker with hardware in spare time (preferred)

Nice to have:

Strong Linux system‑level knowledge: kernel tuning, process scheduling, memory management for optimized performance in robotics applications
Solid understanding of rigid body dynamics and numerical optimization techniques, with application to real‑time systems
Experience writing embedded C for interfacing with sensors or actuators and other parts of the embedded stack
Hands‑on with robotics hardware
having built your own robot or tinker with hardware in spare time

What we offer:

Health, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) with company match
Paid time off and holidays
