Responsibilities

Design, implement, and tune robotics software for locomotion, whole-body control, and manipulation.
Bring up software and hardware on new robot generations and own subsystem integration across actuators, sensors, motor controllers, and onboard compute.
Develop reliable, performant, testable real-time control software in C++.
Build simulation infrastructure and validate robot behaviors in physics-based environments before hardware deployment.
Debug physical robot failures and analyze telemetry and logs to improve system robustness.
Develop scalable tooling for fleet monitoring, behavior testing, operator interfaces, and engineering infrastructure.
Work with teleoperation and data collection systems to support learning-based policy development.

Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
At least four years of professional robotics development experience, including work on physical hardware.
Strong C++ proficiency, including multithreading, memory management, and real-time systems, plus Python for tooling and scripting.
Knowledge of kinematics, dynamics, control theory, and state estimation.
Experience with embedded or low-level systems and communication protocols including CAN, EtherCAT, Ethernet, and serial.
Ability to work in Linux and debug complex hardware-software interactions.
Comfort operating and iterating directly on robot hardware.
Preferred experience includes bi-dexterous robots, ROS/ROS2, reinforcement or imitation learning, physics simulators, SLAM, path planning, perception pipelines, and sensor fusion.
