Senior Software Development Engineer, Robotics

What you'll do

• Lead on-robot subsystem design and delivery from architecture through deployment, and guide engineers building those systems.
• Turn research algorithms and learned models into production software meeting real-time, compute, and safety constraints on embedded GPU platforms.
• Define subsystem interfaces and telemetry, debug failures on robots, lead design reviews, and mentor engineers.

What they ask for

• 5+ years of non-internship professional software development and 5+ years programming in at least one language.
• 5+ years leading design or architecture of new and existing systems, plus experience as a mentor, tech lead, or engineering team lead.
• Bachelors or Master's degree and 10+ years in CS, ME, EE or related field experience.
• Experience with robotics middleware such as ROS, ZCM, or Zenoh, and shipping software for physical robots or other real-time embedded systems with deep expertise in a robotics area.

Nice to have

• Master's degree or PhD in a related field; experience taking robotics algorithms or machine learning models from prototype to production on real hardware.
• Experience with manipulation or locomotion, learned policies, real-time systems, embedded GPUs, robotics testing, or AI coding assistants.
