About the role

  • - Design, implement, and maintain robust, scalable software systems for production automation
  • - Build core libraries and services supporting motion planning, control, and perception pipelines

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and maintain robust, scalable software systems for production automation
  • Build core libraries and services supporting motion planning, control, and perception pipelines
  • Own software engineering best practices: code reviews, testing strategies, CI/CD, and release processes

  • Collaborate with robotics, controls, and hardware engineers to translate system requirements into well-defined software abstractions

Requirements

  • Strong software engineering experience, especially in Python
  • Experience designing and maintaining complex software systems (services, libraries, APIs, or pipelines)
  • Proficiency with Git, debugging, testing frameworks, and modern development workflows
  • Ability to work independently on ambiguous problems in a fast-paced environment
  • Experience working on systems that interact with hardware, real-time constraints, or external devices
  • Experience with ROS or similar middleware
  • Knowledge of performance optimization, concurrency, or distributed systems
  • Optimize software for performance, reliability, and deterministic behavior where required

Benefits

  • Develop vision and sensor-integration software that feeds downstream planning and control stacks

Company info

  • Contribute to architectural decisions as the software platform scales across customers and deployments
