The Role
Lead development, maintenance, and production-readiness of an end-to-end robotic workforce: robot and teleoperation design, control systems, fleet control and navigation optimization, hardware-software integration, sensor data pipelines, and delivery of production systems while mentoring and unblocking the team.
Summary Generated by Built In
We’re looking for an experienced roboticist to work with our team in maintaining, improving, and battle-readying our our end-to-end robotic workforce solution. You’ll possibly work or lead various different projects such as robot and teleoperation design, control systems, or fleet control and navigation optimization.
- Qualifications/Requirements
- 5+ years software engineering experience, including 3+ in robotics, aerospace, or other physical domains.
- Proven experience leading software teams and delivering production systems for real hardware.
- Strong C++ and Python skills
- Familiarity with Docker deployment
- Experience with real-time or near-real-time control systems and hardware–software integration.
- Strong understanding of modern software practices including: Git, code review, automated testing, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.)
- Experience managing sensor data pipelines (stereo/RGB cameras, Lidar, IMUs, force/torque).
- Experience with ROS/ROS 2
- Linux
- Nice To Haves
- Proficiency in profiling and optimizing C++/Python code for systems with limited compute and memory resources.
- Experience with simulation environments (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, etc.).
- Experience building low-latency networking and communication systems for teleoperation.
- Background in computer vision, perception, ML-based detection/pose estimation, or SLAM.
- Experience in startup or fast-paced R&D environments, including hiring and mentoring teams.
- Things that make you an ideal fit:
- You are excited to remain hands-on in the code while unblocking your team and facilitating technical decisions rather than dictating them.
The base pay range for this role is $120,000 – $200,000 per year.
