* Analyze performance of systems methodically, providing clear identification of bottlenecks and solutions to address them
* Collaborate with roboticists to find appropriate balances between performance and capability
* Debug and perform root-cause analysis on complex system failures across simulation, lab, and field environments.
* Create testing approaches to ensure that hard-won performance gains do not regress
** Desired Experience
*** 8+ years of C++ software development in high-performance environments
* Expertise in performance analysis techniques and tools
* Linux systems knowledge - process/thread scheduling, IPC systems, and file systems
* Exposure to image and video processing fundamentals
* Experience implementing advanced model optimization techniques—such as quantization, pruning, and kernel tuning—to deploy high-performance AI models on resource-constrained GPU or accelerator hardware
