About the role

As a Robotics Software Engineer, you will build high-performance, real-time software that runs on edge devices under strict latency and memory constraints. This role is focused on deterministic execution, distributed system design, and low-level performance optimization. You do not need to work on deep learning research. You will build the infrastructure and runtime systems that make real-time robotics possible.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement low-latency distributed systems running on edge hardware
  • Write high-quality C++ or Rust code with strong attention to memory safety, determinism, and performance
  • Build real-time data pipelines for high-throughput sensor and video streams
  • Design IPC mechanisms between perception, control, and device subsystems
  • Optimize memory layout, CPU utilization, and concurrency patterns
  • Debug complex production issues involving race conditions, memory fragmentation, and performance bottlenecks
  • Profile systems using low-level tools to eliminate latency spikes and tail latency issues
  • Build reliable pub/sub and message-passing architectures under unreliable network conditions
  • Ensure systems remain stable under constrained compute, limited memory, and high I/O load

Requirements

  • A Bachelors in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. MS or Ph.D. is a plus
  • 3+ years of experience building systems-level or performance-critical software (experience with edge systems, robotics infrastructure, or real-time platforms highly preferred)
  • Strong programming skills in C++ (preferred) with experience in Rust highly valued
  • Deep understanding of multithreading, concurrency primitives, and lock-free data structures
  • Passion for building high-performance infrastructure that powers real-time robotics systems
  • Resilient in challenging and fast-paced environments
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to influence at all levels
  • Ability to work in an onsite environment
