  • Design and implement task orchestration and robot behaviors across nominal and edge-case scenarios, ensuring high task success rate and robust recovery
  • Drive measurable improvements in autonomy quality, using data and operational metrics to iterate on task success rate, recovery behavior, and system reliability
  • Collaborate with hardware engineering on seamless software–hardware integration for new robot platforms and upgrades
  • Participate and lead technical design reviews and drive architecture decisions for core subsystems and features
  • Mentor cross-functional engineers and technicians, and raise the bar on reliability, testing, and operational excellence
  • Triage robotics system issues to ensure reliability of production robotics systems
  • help diagnose and resolve operational issues when they arise

Requirements

  • Bachelors, Masters, or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related engineering field
  • 5+ years of software engineering experience building production robotics systems
  • Strong proficiency in at least one of the following programming languages: Rust, Python, C++
  • Proven ability to design, implement, and maintain complex, high-reliability software systems
  • Experience integrating software with sensors, actuators and embedded systems
  • Familiarity with software best practices including testing, documentation, code reviews, and robust architectural design
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across multi-disciplinary teams
  • Willingness to support production operations through an on-call rotation

Nice to have

  • Exposure to automation environments such as warehousing, manufacturing, or logistics
  • Experience with real-time embedded system development, with RTOS or bare-metal firmware
  • Experience with safety-critical systems

What we offer

  • Unlimited Flexible Time Off
  • Health Insurance
  • Paid Parental Leave
  • Commuter Benefits
