Robotics Software Engineer

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain robot software systems for industrial assembly and inspection applications
• Integrate cameras and sensors including calibration, coordinate frame management, and data pipelines
• Implement and debug coordinate transforms, hand-eye calibration, and rigid body math in production software
• Build production-quality C++ and Python software for real-time robotic systems
• Architect multi-process and multi-threaded systems for reliable robot operation
• Collaborate with algorithms and perception engineers to deploy 3D vision capabilities on robot platforms
• Develop testing, debugging, and deployment infrastructure for robot software Minimum Qualifications
• Strong C++ skills (STL, multithreading, memory management) and Python proficiency
• Practical knowledge of 3D transforms, rotation representations, and camera/robot calibration
• Experience integrating sensors and actuators on physical robot systems
• Comfortable with Linux development, Git, CMake, and CI/CD workflows
• Familiarity with real-time constraints and performance-critical code
• MS or higher in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
• 3+ years of professional experience developing software for robotic systems mindset
• Thrives in a fast-paced startup, comfortable owning projects end-to-end
• Passionate about building robots that work in the real world, not just in simulation
• Strong debugging instincts — can trace a problem from unexpected robot behavior back through transforms, timing, and sensor data
• Comfortable with in-office collaboration (5 days/week in Campbell, CA) Value Add
• Experience with ROS/ROS2 or similar robotics middleware
• Experience with industrial robotics, robot arms, or manufacturing automation
• Familiarity with motion planning frameworks (Move. It, OMPL)
• Knowledge of gRPC, Protobuf, or similar IPC frameworks
• Experience with Docker, containerized deployment, and embedded compute (Jetson)
• Exposure to simulation environments (Gazebo, Mu. JoCo, Isaac Sim)
