Jobs at Ghost Robotics

Develop and maintain C/C++ firmware for robotic subsystems, including sensing, motor control, battery management, and real-time control loops. Implement communication interfaces, integrate sensors, support RTOS performance, debug embedded systems, and assist with board bring-up and hardware/software integration. Collaborate with firmware, electrical, mechanical, and systems engineers while building independent ownership under senior mentorship.

Lead electrical architecture for critical subsystems of a rugged legged UGV. Drive PCB schematic and layout from prototype to volume production, design power and BMS solutions, integrate diverse sensors and compute modules, debug hardware in lab and field, mentor junior engineers, and coordinate with firmware, mechanical, controls, and contract manufacturers.

Own execution of complex robotics product development programs from concept through fielded release. Build integrated schedules, manage risks, dependencies, budgets, readiness gates, and executive reporting across hardware, firmware, software, manufacturing, documentation, and field support. Coordinate Product Owners and Engineering Leads without directly managing engineers, remove blockers, and ensure programs meet schedule and release objectives.

Design, implement, and deploy real-time manipulation pipelines for multi-DOF arms on legged robots. Develop task and motion planning, grasping, control, and simulation workflows, debug across simulation and hardware, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and own performance from architecture through hardware validation.

Design, implement, and optimize SLAM, localization, and computer vision pipelines for real robots. Fuse multi-sensor data (cameras, IMUs, lidars), build estimation algorithms, evaluate performance on real-world data, and produce production-quality, well-tested code integrated with ROS/ROS2. Collaborate with controls and planning teams and contribute to datasets, tooling, and evaluation frameworks.

Design, build, and maintain embedded Linux environments and kernels across hardware platforms. Tasks include kernel patching, cross-compilation, networking, system diagnostics, automation, and collaboration with hardware, software, and QA teams to integrate applications with embedded OS platforms.
