Job Description & How to Apply Below
Join our robotics platform team to build and own the runtime infrastructure that makes real robots operate reliably. You will integrate firmware, sensors, cameras, and perception into Linux-based systems, design IPC and process architectures, and develop visualization and debugging tools that enable real-time observability, simulation parity, and robust deployment on physical robots.
Requirements- 01 BS, MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, or related technical fields
- 02 Strong background in Linux systems programming, shell scripting, and process-level debugging
- 03 Solid understanding of real-time and distributed systems (latency, throughput, scheduling)
- 04 Fluency in Rust and C++/Python
- 05 Experience designing and debugging IPC systems (shared memory, ZeroMQ, DDS, gRPC, or similar)
- 06 Hands‑on experience integrating cameras and high‑rate sensors on Linux platforms (V4L2, GStreamer, libcamera, or equivalents)
- 07 Experience working with ROS or ROS2 in real robotic systems
- 08 Comfortable debugging multi‑process, multi‑threaded systems under timing and resource constraints
- 09 (+) Familiarity with profiling/debugging tools such as perf, gdb, strace, and system tracing tools
- 10 (+) Experience with real‑time Linux or deterministic networking
- 11 (+) Familiarity with URDF/MJCF/SDF and robotics simulation environments (Mu Jo Co , Isaac Sim, Gazebo)
- 01 Design and maintain the robot runtime architecture including process life cycles, IPC, and data flow
- 02 Integrate embedded firmware, sensors, and cameras into Linux‑based robotic systems
- 03 Build and maintain real‑time streaming and visualization tools for robot state, perception, and system health
- 04 Develop deployment, configuration, and versioning pipelines for on‑robot software
- 05 Support simulation, hardware‑in‑the‑loop, and sim‑to‑real deployment workflows
- 06 Improve observability, fault detection, and debuggability of robot software stacks
- 07 Collaborate closely with firmware, perception, and controls teams to define clean system interfaces
- 08 Ensure reliability and performance of robot software under real‑world operating conditions
- 09 Own the runtime infrastructure that determines robot reliability and performance
- 10 Work hands‑on with real robots, sensors, and production systems
- 11 Collaborate closely with embedded, perception, and control teams
- Competitive salary and meaningful equity
- Full health, dental, and vision benefits
