Bedrock Robotics Inc2 days ago
Responsibilities
- Design and own shared geometry and kinematics libraries for coordinate frames, transforms, and machine motion.
- Build pose and trajectory APIs that expose machine state, including arm joint positions, across timestamps, machine types, and sensor configurations.
- Develop replay, resimulation, training, and regression-testing infrastructure using offline estimates and reference estimates.
- Build monitoring to detect sensors that have shifted out of calibration on working machines.
- Build storage and versioning systems for maps of continuously changing work sites.
- Diagnose live-machine issues and optimize performance using recorded data, simulation, testing on physical machines, and debugging tools.
Requirements
- 4+ years of professional software engineering experience or a substantial record of shipping production systems or libraries used by other engineers.
- Working knowledge of linear algebra and 3D rigid-body transforms, including rotations, coordinate frames, and transformation composition.
- Ability to implement and test numerical code from algorithm specifications while reasoning about precision, boundary conditions, and correctness.
- Strong production software skills in Rust or modern C++; the production stack is primarily Rust and experienced C++ engineers will be supported while ramping up.
- Strong debugging and performance-analysis skills, including tracing cross-component issues and building tests and diagnostics.
- A degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Preferred experience includes shared libraries or APIs, software for robots or vehicles, production Rust, numerical optimization, and embedded or real-time systems.
Benefits
- Bay Area location with the ability to work onsite at the San Francisco office daily or weekly.
- Equal opportunity employer with reasonable accommodations available during the hiring process.
