About Us
We’re a robotics startup developing low-latency vision and tool guidance software for automation systems. Our software is deployed on a wide range of hardware—from high-performance desktops to NVIDIA Jetson embedded boards—with a strong emphasis on reliability, efficiency, and speed.
We’re closing our Series A funding and scaling from 8 to 20 employees. Now’s the time to join if you’re looking to shape critical infrastructure and help us grow.
The Role
We're looking for a Senior CUDA Engineer to take ownership of GPU-side development. You’ll work on performance-critical code paths and help keep our multi-platform systems running fast and clean.
Your responsibilities will include:
Porting core algorithms to CUDA kernels, balancing throughput and latency
Profiling and optimizing existing kernels using Nsight Systems and Nsight Compute
Diagnosing functional and memory issues with cuda-memcheck and cuda-gdb
Managing and maintaining our CUDA build system (CMake) across multiple hardware targets
Keeping third-party CUDA library integration stable and efficient
Requirements
Strong understanding of CUDA, GPU memory hierarchies, and optimization strategies
Proficiency with Nsight Systems, Nsight Compute, cuda-memcheck, and cuda-gdb
Solid C++ skills, with experience writing and maintaining multi-platform CMake-based builds
Ability to reason clearly about performance, architecture, and integration tradeoffs
Comfort working in a hands-on, fast-moving environment where your contributions are critical
Nice to Have
Familiarity with NVIDIA Jetson deployment and cross-compilation (aarch64)
Knowledge of libraries like cuBLAS, Thrust, or CUTLASS
Why Join Us?
Build real systems for robots where speed and correctness matter
Shape core infrastructure in a small team that values deep technical understanding
Join at an inflection point: real traction, strong funding, and an ambitious roadmap
