About the role
- You'll work close to the hardware, from kernel and firmware up through the controls and perception layers, owning real-time pipelines that move hundreds of megabytes at single-digit millisecond latency.
- Vision inference, control loops, and actuation all live on the same clock, and it's your job to keep them there.
- The goal: bring visibility and determinism into the end-to-end inference pipeline so the ML model is the only stochastic component.
Responsibilities
- Own the full data flow: camera frames in, perception and planning in the middle, control commands and actuator feedback out, and every system that carries them
- Build the perception data path: move high-bandwidth camera streams into the CV and ML models with minimal latency and zero silent drops
- 5+ years of software engineering experience building production systems close to hardware (drivers, kernels, embedded, robotics, or similar)
Nice to have
- Experience with real-time control systems: motor control, high-rate control loops, or robot controllers
- Tracing and profiling experience: ftrace, flamegraphs, eBPF
- Linux I/O experience: DPDK, SPDK, io_uring
Benefits
- Own the real-time control loop: keep high-rate control running deterministically alongside vision inference, and make sure a slow frame never becomes a late motor command
- Bring visibility into the pipeline: build the tooling and instrumentation that make real-time behavior across controls and vision observable and debuggable
Company info
- The datacenter buildout is the largest industrial project in human history.
- Gradient builds the autonomous robots that make it possible.
- Partnered with the world's largest AI infrastructure companies and backed by the industry's best investors, we move fast and build full-stack systems that matter.
- We're looking for a Founding Software Engineer to own how Gradient Robotics moves data from AI models to actuators.
