We’re looking for an experienced roboticist to work with our team in maintaining, improving, and battle-readying our our end-to-end robotic workforce solution. You’ll possibly work or lead various different projects such as robot and teleoperation design, control systems, or fleet control and navigation optimization.

Qualifications/Requirements

• 5+ years software engineering experience, including 3+ in robotics, aerospace, or other physical domains.
• Proven experience leading software teams and delivering production systems for real hardware.
• Strong C++ and Python skills
• Familiarity with Docker deployment
• Experience with real-time or near-real-time control systems and hardware–software integration.
• Strong understanding of modern software practices including: Git, code review, automated testing, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.)
• Experience managing sensor data pipelines (stereo/RGB cameras, Lidar, IMUs, force/torque).
• Experience with ROS/ROS 2
• Linux

Nice to Haves

• Proficiency in profiling and optimizing C++/Python code for systems with limited compute and memory resources.
• Experience with simulation environments (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, etc.).
• Experience building low-latency networking and communication systems for teleoperation.
• Background in computer vision, perception, ML-based detection/pose estimation, or SLAM.
• Experience in startup or fast-paced R&D environments, including hiring and mentoring teams.

Things that Make You an Ideal Fit

• You are excited to remain hands-on in the code while unblocking your team and facilitating technical decisions rather than dictating them.
