The role

You will work on the software foundation that keeps robots running. You will own projects on the software platform stack including on-robot software, networking, data collection pipelines, and developer tooling.

What you will do

• Contribute to networking and communication infrastructure connecting robot systems to cloud and teleoperation
• Help build data collection pipelines for sensor, telemetry, and behavioral data
• Work on telemetry and observability systems for robot health and field performance
• Build internal tooling like deployment pipelines, logging, and debugging tools
• Support bring-up and field testing on live hardware
• Collaborate with ML, perception, and control engineers
• Automate internal workflows

Required qualifications

• Currently pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field or a recent graduate
• Solid computer science foundation: data structures, algorithms, operating systems, and networking
• Genuine passion for working on robots
• Strong programming skills in C++, Python, Golang, or Rust
• Curiosity and comfort working with physical hardware in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
• Ability to debug across layers, from driver-level issues up to application behavior
• Open to learn new things and grow from knowing nothing to an expert on arbitrary technical topics

Nice to have

• Experience with bringing up & manipulating robots
• Familiarity with networking, IPC, or communication protocols (e.g. gRPC, DDS, QUIC, WebSockets)
• Exposure to cloud storage and data pipelines (AWS, GCP, S3, GCS)
• Experience with perception pipelines, control systems, or learned models running on real-time robot stacks
• Prior work on prototype or pre-production hardware
