Robotics Generalist

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Architecting and implementing robotic software subsystems across our wearable robotics fleet, sharing components across different products and robot iterations.
• Ownership of core software and control features, including mechatronics firmware, motor control firmware, and platform features.
• Contribute to the real-time control loop, including sensing, decision making, logging, and safety monitoring / fault detection.
• Contributing to machine-learning-based methods across simulation, training, labeling, on-device inference, sensor data collection, and testing.
• Supporting and contributing to hardware-in-the-loop and on-body test frameworks that validate system behaviour across the full range of real-world conditions, including at device provisioning / factory bring-up.
• Collaborating with firmware, hardware, and software teammates to define interfaces, resolve cross-disciplinary tradeoffs, and catch integration failures early
• Contributing to system architecture decisions for current and future products, including our Parkinson's device and future Movewear platform
• Wear prototypes several hours a week to participate in data collection, on-body testing and provide feedback

Job requirements

• 5+ years' experience in robotics
• Proven track record of writing software that runs on hardware
• Experience in small teams, ideally in start ups; you’re willing to wear many hats and chip in across the board
• Experience with embedded systems -- you can write C/C++ and you understand what's happening at the hardware level
• Proficiency in Python and/or C++ for algorithm development, data analysis, and test scripting, including common AI-coding tools (and their pitfalls)
• Strong foundation in control systems
• Experience with sensor integration and validation (IMUs, encoders, force sensors, or similar)
• Ability to work at the Skip Bay Area office at least 3 days/week
