• System Design & Architecture: Designing and implementing production-ready software for our robotic platforms.
• Develop optimization-based motion control frameworks for real-time robotic operation.
• Conduct performance validation, simulation, and field testing to ensure real-world reliability and safety.
• Design, implement, and optimize path planning algorithms for dynamic and unstructured environments.
• Produce computationally efficient software that can meet real-time requirements.
• Balance hands-on development, code reviews, and research to achieve product-driven milestones in a fast-paced startup environment.
• Debug complex interactions between hardware and software in real-world conditions.
• Participate in on-machine testing, including occasional travel to the field to experience the product in its intended use.

Qualifications:

Required skills:

• 3+ years of software engineering experience in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or related fields
• Strong foundation in path planning algorithms (e.g., A*, D*, RRT, RRT*, lattice-based, or graph based methods).
• Deep understanding of trajectory optimization for manipulation tasks, and control theory.
• Hands-on experience with system architecting for robotic or autonomous systems.
• Programming proficiency in C++, Python or MATLAB, with solid software engineering practices.
• Familiarity with ROS/ROS2 for integrating planners, controllers, and perception modules.
• Knowledge of real-time systems for robotics operations.
• Understanding of Docker, containerization, and deployment processes.
• A strong understanding of software engineering development practices (git, CI/CD)
• Extensive experience with robotic waypoint generation, path planning, and trajectory optimization.
• Previous experience in robotics, autonomous systems, or high-growth startups.
• Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.

Preferred skills:

• Experience working across the entire software lifecycle, encompassing requirements, design, development, testing, code review, documentation, and deployment.
• Experience with robot arms, calibration, real-time sensor fusion (e.g. IMU, lidar, camera, odometry, radar), and state estimation.
• Exposure to simulation tools such as Gazebo, Isaac Sim, or Webots.
• Familiarity with optimization libraries (CasADi, Ceres, Gurobi, IPOPT) or GPU acceleration (CUDA).
• Strong understanding of embedded systems and real-time computing.
• Experience with CAN bus and sensor fusion for speed estimations in high precision condition.
• Working knowledge of computer vision frameworks (OpenCV, ROS perception stack, or deep learning-based methods).

Soft Skills:

• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and system-level thinking.
• Highly self-motivated and comfort with working in a fast-paced startup environment with startup-oriented hours
• Commitment to working onsite five days a week to contribute to positive in-office culture
• Excellent problem-solving ability, with both scrappiness and precision when tackling challenges.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with a willingness to "get your hands dirty" during field testing.
• Passion for robotics, autonomous driving, and Agtech technology.

Benefits:

• Premium Extended Health & Dental & Vision Care Plans
• Unparalleled Stock Options Grant
• Bonus Plan Employee & Family Benefits Program
• Global Travel Assist Plan
• Company covered Gym Access
