TL;DR · Robotics Software Engineer, Sensor Integration

As a Robotics Software Engineer, Sensor Integration, you will join the team to design, develop, and optimize software solutions for autonomous robotic systems. You will be responsible for integrating various sensors such as cameras, LiDAR, and IMUs to enable perception, localization, and navigation while developing distributed communication networks and message-passing frameworks for multi-agent coordination. The role involves collaborating with hardware and manufacturing teams to integrate software into physical systems and performing real-world testing and debugging. You will utilize C++, Rust, and potentially Python or real-time operating systems to build mission-critical software. Your work focuses on solving complex problems in robotics, including motion planning, perception, and performance optimization for resource utilization. The role addresses the technical challenges of creating robust autonomous systems capable of functioning reliably in demanding operational environments.

What you'll do

  • Develop scalable software for networking, sensor integration, and autonomy across various robotic platforms.
  • Integrate cameras, LiDAR, and IMUs to enable perception, localization, and navigation systems.
  • Design and optimize distributed communication networks and message-passing frameworks for multi-robot coordination.
  • Manage the full software lifecycle including prototyping, implementation, testing, and deployment.
  • Optimize system performance regarding latency, battery consumption, and resource utilization.
  • Troubleshoot and debug complex issues in deployed systems to ensure operational reliability.
  • Travel up to 25% of the time to test and deploy systems in real-world environments.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics.
  • At least 2 years of experience developing production-grade software in C++ and/or Rust.
  • Experience with distributed communication networks, protocols, and message standards.
  • Proven ability to integrate sensors such as LiDAR, cameras, and IMUs into robotics systems.
  • Ability to navigate and contribute to complex systems and established codebases.
  • Willingness to travel up to 25% for testing and deploying systems in operational environments.
  • Experience with motion planning, perception, localization, and multi-agent coordination is preferred.
  • An active or prior U.S. Secret clearance is a plus.
