Software Engineer, Robotics

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Design, implement, and tune core robotics software spanning locomotion, whole-body control, and manipulation for bi-dexterous robot platforms
• Bring up software and hardware on new robot generations and own subsystem integration across actuators, sensors, motor controllers, and onboard compute
• Develop and maintain real-time control software in C++ with a strong emphasis on reliability, performance, and testability
• Build simulation infrastructure and validate behaviors in physics-based environments before deploying to hardware
• Debug failures on physical robots and analyze telemetry and log data to identify root causes and improve system robustness
• Contribute to tooling that scales, including fleet monitoring, behavior testing pipelines, operator interfaces, and CI/CD infrastructure
• Work with teleoperation and data collection systems to inform learning-based policy development

Job requirements

• BS or MS in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience
• 4+ years of professional experience in robotics development, with at least some of that on physical hardware rather than purely in simulation
• Strong proficiency in C++ (C++14/17/20), including multithreading, memory management, and real-time systems; Python for tooling and scripting
• Solid robotics fundamentals: kinematics, dynamics, control theory, and state estimation
• Experience with embedded or low-level systems and familiarity with communication protocols such as CAN, EtherCAT, Ethernet, and serial
• Ability to work effectively in a Linux development environment and debug complex hardware-software interactions
• Comfort operating and iterating directly on robot hardware
