Software Engineer – Task & Motion Planning
Job description
At Pickle Robot, we're on a mission to automate global supply chains with Physical AI. Our robots work alongside warehouse teams to unload trucks and containers — one of the toughest, most understaffed jobs in logistics — making the work safer, faster, and more efficient for the people doing it. Loading trucks comes next, followed by the Dill Autonomy Engine: generalized autonomy that will eventually orchestrate robots across entire logistics processes.
Job responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain production C++ and Python components of our planning stack, including motion planning, grasp selection, collision checking, and task sequencing
- Take algorithms, your own and your teammates', from prototype to deployment, owning the architecture, performance, and robustness of the implementation
- Profile and optimize performance-critical code so planners meet real-time cycle-time targets on robot hardware
- Build the testing, simulation, and benchmarking infrastructure that lets the team change planning code with confidence
- Improve the reliability of the planning stack in the field by debugging failures from production logs, building tooling for triage, and fixing root causes
- Help raise the bar for code quality through design reviews, code reviews, and good engineering practices
