Responsibilities
- Own the software architecture for the perception stack, including runtime, data flow, and system infrastructure.
- Set technical direction and coordinate architecture across hardware, software, product, engineering, and leadership teams.
- Design dataflow or algorithm-graph runtimes across heterogeneous compute.
- Build telemetry, tracing, and profiling into systems and use the resulting data to improve performance and stability.
- Deploy ML models into production runtimes while managing quantization, scheduling, latency, and performance tradeoffs.
- Partner with program managers to define milestones, deliver work, and re-plan as requirements change.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience building production systems software in C/C++ and Swift, including concurrency, scheduling, memory management, and IPC on modern operating systems.
- Track record of shipping latency-sensitive or real-time systems with measurable performance and reliability targets.
- Experience designing heterogeneous-compute runtimes and system telemetry, tracing, and profiling.
- Working knowledge of classical perception and robotics, including sensor fusion, time synchronization, calibration, state estimation, tracking, or SLAM/VIO.
- Experience deploying ML models into production runtimes, including quantization, scheduling, and performance tradeoffs.
- Demonstrated technical leadership across team and organizational boundaries, with strong written and verbal communication skills.
- BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- Preferred qualifications include real-time Linux or RTOS expertise, Darwin/XNU internals, secure execution environments, microkernel isolation, consumer hardware, ROS 2, DDS, MCAP, simulation infrastructure, ML evaluation pipelines, regression testing, data feedback loops, learned perception, multimodal models, or agentic AI workflows.
