Required and preferred rules are kept separate and reflect the wording in the original posting.
About the Role
You will turn computer-vision output into precise and safe robotic motion. You will build and tune real-time control loops, own calibration routines and coordinate transforms, define hardware and software interfaces, and enforce motion limits, no-fire zones, and fault handling.
Requirements
- Proficiency in C++ for real-time deterministic code
- Python for tooling and analysis
- Knowledge of linear algebra, kinematics, and coordinate transforms
- Experience with real-time or low-latency systems and performance optimization
- Knowledge of control theory fundamentals including PID
Responsibilities
- Control robot motion to track drones under real-time constraints
- Develop and tune real-time control loops for accurate pointing
- Own calibration routines and coordinate-frame transforms
- Define software and hardware contracts at the actuation handoff
- Enforce motion limits, no-fire zones, and fault handling
Benefits
- Equity package
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off
