About the Role
You will ship performance-critical robot software and contribute to data flow from cameras through perception and planning to actuator feedback. You will help maintain deterministic control loops, build low-latency perception-path components, reduce latency, and create tooling for observing and debugging real-time controls and vision.
Requirements
- 1+ years building software close to hardware, or strong new-graduate project or internship experience
- Programming fundamentals in Rust, C++, or Python
- Operating-system and multithreading knowledge
- Experience building production systems, internal tools, student-team projects, or personal projects
- Experience debugging timing, concurrency, or hardware issues
- Ability to work on-site in San Francisco five days per week, with six days during crunch time if needed
Responsibilities
- Ship performance-critical code to robots
- Learn and contribute to end-to-end perception, planning, control, and actuator data flow
- Help maintain deterministic real-time control loops
- Build low-latency perception data-path components
- Reduce latency and improve reliability
- Build real-time observability and debugging tooling
