About the role

Senior Robotics Software Engineer focused on accelerating robot autonomy compute using GPUs and high-performance software practices to enable scalable, high-throughput, low-latency robot autonomy across a fleet.

Responsibilities

  • Build high-throughput and low-latency robot autonomy algorithms, leveraging GPUs, high-performance software practices, multithreading, and other hardware accelerators
  • Build infrastructure to empower developers to easily use high-performance and robust software best practices and to leverage hardware acceleration
  • Rapidly identify key compute bottlenecks in the robot autonomy stack and improve related tooling and infrastructure (tracing, profiling, benchmarking, and metrics reporting, etc.), empower teams to instrument their own software to measure and monitor performance
  • Work closely with teams across the autonomy stack, from robot perception and high-level decision-making to trajectory generation, optimization, and control to remove compute bottlenecks and enable high-performance compute to deliver new capabilities
  • Equip and uplevel software development teams with high-performance best practices through direct collaboration, code reviews and audits, sharing uplevelling resources, and broad communications
  • Experiment with frontier hardware acceleration resources to access capability and practicality for further leveraging and scaling
  • Participate in roadmapping of future robot compute platforms
  • Enable complex robotic systems to scale globally!
  • Hands-on experience deploying software on real robots in production and scaling it across robot fleets, monitoring performance to hit KPIs (throughput, etc.)

Qualifications

  • BS (6+ years experience) / MS (4+ years experience) / Ph.D. (2+ years experience) in Computer Science or related discipline or equivalent experience.
  • Strong knowledge of modern C++ (C++20 preferred / not required)
