- Strong software engineering experience, especially in Python
- Experience designing and maintaining complex software systems
- Understanding of data structures, algorithms, and systems design
- Proficiency with Git, debugging, testing frameworks, and modern development workflows
- Must be a U.S. Person, including a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, due to ITAR export controls
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain robust, scalable software systems for production automation
- Build core libraries and services for motion planning, control, and perception pipelines
- Architect interfaces between software components and hardware-facing systems
- Develop vision and sensor-integration software for planning and control stacks
- Optimize software for performance, reliability, and deterministic behavior
- Write high-quality, testable Python code
- Own code reviews, testing strategies, CI/CD, and release processes
- Build simulation, testing, and tooling infrastructure before deployment
- Translate system requirements into software abstractions with robotics, controls, and hardware engineers
- Contribute to software-platform architectural decisions
