  • Familiarity with embedded and physical device programming (preferred: Python, Rust, Go)

Responsibilities

  • Design, write, and maintain core libraries and services enabling collaborative teams of robots (e.g., motion deconfliction, contingency management).
  • Own major feature development and rollout for complex autonomy capabilities, including terminal-phase autonomy and live surrogate testing.
  • Collaborate closely with hardware teams, Perception, Motion Planning, Test Engineering, and operational SMEs to define requirements and iterate designs.
  • Integrate and validate multi-sensor systems, perception pipelines, and estimation for deployed vehicles.
  • Troubleshoot and analyze remotely deployed software and support field test and deployment activities.
  • Guide technical direction, mentor engineers, and lead multidisciplinary project lifecycles from concept to deployment.

Education

  • BS in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field (required)
  • MS or PhD in a related field (preferred)

Benefits
