Robotics Engineer

Build robotic systems that run AI workloads directly on edge hardware, supporting real-time operation without relying on cloud connectivity. The role spans robotics software, perception, control and hardware integration, with work intended for use in challenging field environments.

• Design robotic systems that integrate edge-computing hardware.
• Develop perception pipelines using stereo vision, LiDAR and sensor fusion.
• Implement real-time control for autonomous navigation and manipulation.
• Work with AI colleagues to adapt models for deployment on constrained devices.
• Build and test robust systems for operation outside controlled settings.
• Contribute tools and technical documentation for an open-source developer community.

• At least three years of robotics engineering experience or relevant work in a related field.
• Strong ROS or ROS 2 skills and experience with real-time control systems.
• Practical knowledge of computer vision, SLAM and sensor fusion.
• Proficiency in C++ and Python.
• Familiarity with embedded systems and ARM-based platforms.

• Experience with NVIDIA Jetson or comparable edge AI hardware.
• Background in mechanical design or hardware integration.

• Remote-first arrangement, with optional coworking in San Francisco.
• Opportunity to contribute to open-source projects and products used by researchers and engineers.
• Compensation includes salary and equity.
