Software Engineer, Robotics

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and tune core robotics software for bi-dexterous robot platforms, including locomotion, whole-body control, and manipulation
• Bring up software and hardware on new robot generations and own subsystem integration across actuators, sensors, and onboard compute
• Develop and maintain real-time control software in C++ with a focus on reliability and performance
• Build simulation infrastructure to validate behaviors in physics-based environments before hardware deployment
• Debug failures on physical robots and analyze telemetry to improve system robustness
• Contribute to scaling tools such as fleet monitoring, behavior testing pipelines, and CI/CD infrastructure

Requirements

• BS or MS in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience
• 4+ years of professional experience in robotics development, including work with physical hardware
• Strong proficiency in C++ (C++14/17/20) and Python for tooling and scripting
• Solid understanding of kinematics, dynamics, control theory, and state estimation
• Experience with embedded systems and communication protocols such as CAN, EtherCAT, or Ethernet
• Proficiency in a Linux development environment and ability to debug complex hardware-software interactions

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with bi-dexterous robots
• Familiarity with ROS/ROS2 or similar robotics middleware
• Exposure to reinforcement learning or imitation learning workflows
• Experience with physics simulators like MuJoCo, Gazebo, or NVIDIA Isaac Sim
• Background in SLAM, path planning, or perception pipelines
