Full Job Posting

  • Develop and maintain the core software framework that composes perception, planning, locomotion, and manipulation into a deployable system on humanoid platforms.
  • Define and enforce subsystem interfaces, communication patterns, and data contracts for reliable, independent module development.
  • Own system bring-up, sensor calibration, and validation workflows for new sensor/platform revisions and configurations.
  • Partner with research engineers to take algorithms from prototype to production-quality, tested, maintainable code.
  • Identify and close reliability gaps with fault handling, performance budgets, integration/regression tests, and hardware validation.
  • Build repeatable “graduation” pipelines so new capabilities land without breaking existing functionality.
  • Design and run end-to-end integration tests across hardware and simulation.
  • Build tooling for automated diagnostics, telemetry, and post-run analysis to speed up debugging.
  • Coordinate integration milestones across teams, flag risks early, and keep the system continuously shippable.
  • Profile and optimize latency, throughput, and memory on embedded platforms under real-time constraints.
  • Harden the stack against real-world failure modes (sensor dropouts, comms loss, thermal throttling, degraded modes).
  • Implement runtime monitoring and health checks so the robot can detect, log, and recover from faults autonomously.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent industry experience).
  • 7+ years hands-on experience developing and integrating robotics software, including work on physical hardware.
  • Strong C++ and Python proficiency with modern best practices; able to work in large, multi-language codebases.
  • Strong understanding of ROS/ROS2 and experience designing, building, and deploying nodes in complex robotic systems.
  • Solid understanding of real-time systems, inter-process communication, and resource-constrained embedded compute environments.
  • Experience hardening research/prototype code into production-quality software with testing and fault handling.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work independently while managing multiple priorities.
  • Strong work ethic, self-motivated, and excellent written/verbal communication skills.
  • Experience with humanoid robots, legged locomotion platforms, or complex dexterous manipulation systems.Familiarity with motion planning, whole-body control, or contact-rich manipulation pipelines.
  • Experience working with computationally constrained platforms and designing efficient, real-time software with low overhead.
  • Background in CI/CD, automated testing, and release engineering for robotics software.
  • Contributions to open-source robotics frameworks or tools.
  • Experience deploying robots in unstructured, real-world environments (construction, logistics, manufacturing, mining, defense).
