Software Engineer - Robotic Controls

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in the development of advanced, general-purpose robots designed to operate in human environments and work with human tools. This position demands a high degree of ownership and responsibility, driving projects from conception through to completion, ensuring that robots perform precisely and reliably in real-world scenarios.

You will be responsible for building the software that runs on our on-board computer to enable real-time control, seamless integration of robot data and models, and effective fault detection, diagnostics, and recovery.

• Deliver production-grade real-time C++ software infrastructure
• Integrate low-level firmware data with high-level controls logic over real-time task graphs
• Implement and tune state estimation (IMU, kinematic, odometry fusion) and diagnostic monitors that map sensor faults to DTCs
• Characterize and improve the quality of robot kinematics, estimation, and actuation
• Bring up new robot embodiments
• Integrate learned policies (RL locomotion / motion imitation) into the real-time controls stack
• Perform root-cause analysis for complex hardware-software integration issues
• Develop API for controls and autonomy systems to interact with robot hardware and simulation
• Maintain comprehensive and accurate architecture and design documentation, including HIL and simulation test coverage
• Deliver reliable software through code reviews, continuous integration, and automated testing
