🔗 Robotics Software Engineer – Runtime & Integration Infrastructure

About the role

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

• 01BS, MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, or related technical fields
• 02Strong background in Linux systems programming, shell scripting, and process-level debugging
• 03Solid understanding of real-time and distributed systems (latency, throughput, scheduling)
• 04Fluency in Rust and C++/Python
• 05Experience designing and debugging IPC systems (shared memory, ZeroMQ, DDS, gRPC, or similar)
• 06Hands-on experience integrating cameras and high-rate sensors on Linux platforms (V4L2, GStreamer, libcamera, or equivalents)
• 07Experience working with ROS or ROS2 in real robotic systems
• 08Comfortable 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 (MuJoCo, Isaac Sim, Gazebo)

Details & responsibilities

• 01Design and maintain the robot runtime architecture including process lifecycles, IPC, and data flow
• 02Integrate embedded firmware, sensors, and cameras into Linux-based robotic systems
• 03Build and maintain real-time streaming and visualization tools for robot state, perception, and system health
• 04Develop deployment, configuration, and versioning pipelines for on-robot software
• 05Support simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, and sim-to-real deployment workflows
• 06Improve observability, fault detection, and debuggability of robot software stacks
• 07Collaborate closely with firmware, perception, and controls teams to define clean system interfaces
• 08Ensure reliability and performance of robot software under real-world operating conditions

Compensation & benefits

• 01Own the runtime infrastructure that determines robot reliability and performance
• 02Work hands-on with real robots, sensors, and production systems
• 03Collaborate closely with embedded, perception, and control teams
• 04Competitive salary and meaningful equity
• 05Full health, dental, and vision benefits
