Responsibilities
- Own the technical approach and reliability of a major system supporting robot data collection and experimentation.
- Build and maintain robot-side and backend services, data pipelines, and tools that improve operator efficiency and experiment throughput.
- Implement observability for system health, data completeness, sensor timing, and experiment progress, and turn failures into actionable diagnostics.
- Improve deployment, configuration, testing, recovery, and rollback processes so operations are repeatable.
- Diagnose incidents across device interfaces, Linux, networking, concurrency, and storage, and deliver durable fixes.
- Prioritize work using evidence from researchers and operators and communicate scope, risks, and tradeoffs.
- Improve engineering tools and runbooks, contribute technical reviews, and help colleagues operate and extend the system.
Requirements
- Evidence of independently owning a substantial software system through design, deployment, operation, and difficult debugging.
- Strong Python software engineering skills, including maintainable code, automated tests, concurrency, and service interfaces.
- Practical Linux and networking knowledge and experience deploying and operating services.
- Understanding of distributed-system failure modes, data integrity, and safe recovery from partial failures.
- Experience building observability and using it to diagnose incidents and improve reliability.
- Ability to work across unfamiliar system boundaries, define approaches to ambiguous problems, and collaborate with daily system users.
- Preferred experience includes robotics, device fleets, teleoperation, edge computing, synchronized sensor pipelines, C++ or Rust, containers, cloud infrastructure, infrastructure as code, ML deployment, operator tools, experiment platforms, and effective critical use of AI-assisted engineering.
