We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to develop and scale software systems for perception and state estimation in intelligent robots. This hands-on role involves designing, implementing, and maintaining production-quality software that allows robots to understand their position and motion in real time. The engineer will work closely with applied scientists and hardware engineers to integrate cutting-edge research into practical applications. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in software engineering and a passion for robotics.

• 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
• Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
• Experience programming with at least one software programming language
• Knowledge of programming languages such as C/C++, Python, Java or Perl
• Experience designing and building large-scale, production-quality software systems
• Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented design
• Experience with version control (Git), code review processes, and CI/CD pipelines
• Familiarity with Linux/Unix development environments
• Experience with real-time or embedded systems programming (C/C++ on ARM/GPU platforms)
• Experience with robotics middleware such as ROS/ROS2
• Familiarity with perception systems (SLAM, VIO, sensor fusion) or computer vision
• Experience with NVIDIA Jetson, Qualcomm RB5, or similar embedded AI platforms
• Experience building and maintaining deployment pipelines for edge/embedded devices
• Experience with performance profiling, optimization, and resource-constrained environments
• Familiarity with ML model deployment and inference optimization on edge devices
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code, containerization, or embedded Linux
• Strong communication skills and history of cross-functional collaboration

• Design and implement production software systems for real-time perception and state estimation on robotic platforms.
• Build scalable data pipelines for processing, calibrating, and managing multi-sensor data.
• Develop and maintain deployment infrastructure for embedded hardware, including CI/CD pipelines and monitoring.
• Architect software interfaces between perception, controls, and navigation subsystems within the robot's autonomy stack.
• Optimize system performance under strict latency, memory, and power constraints.
• Build and maintain testing frameworks, simulation environments, and evaluation infrastructure for perception systems.
• Drive operational excellence including alarming, metrics, runbooks, and on-call support for production robotics systems.
• Collaborate with applied scientists to translate research prototypes into production-ready, maintainable code.
