Robotics Software Engineer

The role

This person will build runtime systems, middleware, and developer infrastructure for robotic platforms. The role involves working from low-level execution to operator-facing tools to power generalized physical AI.

What you will do

• Design, develop, and maintain runtime systems for reliable, low-latency operation.
• Ensure robustness of robotics systems across real-world deployment scenarios.
• Implement and optimize robotics middleware for communication and data serialization.
• Integrate with frameworks like DDS, Zenoh, or build custom solutions.
• Build systems for task scheduling, resource management, and lifecycle management.
• Enable scalable and modular execution of complex robotic behaviors.
• Ensure systems meet strict latency and reliability requirements.
• Optimize for resource-constrained and embedded environments.
• Develop tools to monitor system health, debug failures, and analyze performance.
• Design and maintain deployment workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and containerization.

Required qualifications

• Strong experience building robotics software systems and middleware.
• Experience designing and building runtime systems, execution frameworks, or middleware layers.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems and communication patterns in robotics.
• Experience working with real-time constraints and performance-critical systems.
• Strong proficiency in Python programming.
• Familiarity with robotics middleware frameworks (e.g., DDS, Zenoh, ROS2).
• Experience with containerization, CI/CD, and codebase management at scale.
• Ability to design clean abstractions and APIs for internal users.
• Experience building tools or interfaces for operators or engineers.

Nice to have

• Background in building operator tools or robotics UIs.
• Experience supporting ML-driven robotic systems.
