Requirements
Undergraduate or graduate degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
5+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or other complex cyber physical systems
Experience with sensor calibration and sensor time synchronization
Comfort with basic networking concepts relevant to robotic systems (latency, bandwidth, protocols, debugging)
Experience with Linux-based IoT/robot deployments, including OTA or fleet update patterns in a Linux context
Experience with reproducible build systems and environments (Docker, Nix, or similar)
Responsibilities
Own and evolve core robot system foundations: device firmware interfaces, low-level drivers, Linux configuration, and deployment reliability
Build and maintain robust sensor drivers and hardware interfaces with clear contracts and strong observability
Lead efforts around sensor calibration, time synchronization, and data integrity across heterogeneous devices
Improve reliability and reproducibility of system builds and deployments (e.g., containerization, deterministic builds, provisioning)
Maintain system-level documentation and operational playbooks to improve debuggability and reduce time-to-fix
Partner with autonomy/platform teams to ensure the system meets latency, throughput, and reliability requirements
