Role Overview

We are hiring a General Robotics Developer to join our full-time engineering team. This role is ideal for experienced developers comfortable writing high-performance software in C++, Python, and C, with experience building multi-nodal, real-time systems. You will work on everything from hardware control loops to high-level coordination software across distributed robotic systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain software in C++, C, and Python for real-time control, coordination, and telemetry across robotic systems

• Architect and implement multi-nodal codebases that manage communications between robotic components, edge processors, and control dashboards

• Design robust inter-process communication using protocols like ZeroMQ, or custom WebSocket layers

• Integrate sensors (IMUs, encoders, vision) and actuators with real-time safety and performance constraints

• Contribute to simulation, calibration, and testing infrastructure for validating new algorithms and hardware

• Collaborate with embedded engineers and mechanical designers to ensure seamless system integration

• Contribute to continuous integration pipelines and debugging/testing frameworks

• Participate in design reviews, bring-up, and field testing of new robotic platforms

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or related discipline

• Strong experience with C++ (modern standards), C, and Python

• Deep understanding of real-time, embedded, and low-latency software systems

• Experience building distributed or multi-nodal systems with inter-process communication

• Comfortable working in Linux environments and using command-line tools

• Familiarity with build systems such as CMake, Make, and scripting with Bash

• Experience using version control (Git) in collaborative environments

• Strong problem-solving ability and a hands-on, detail-oriented approach

• Ability to read schematics, interpret datasheets, and debug hardware/software integration

• ROS1/ROS2 experience

• Experience with microcontroller platforms (STM32, ESP32)

• Exposure to AI/ML in robotic applications

• WebSocket/REST API development

• Familiarity with CAN, SPI, UART, and other hardware protocols

• Exposure to simulation tools like Gazebo, Isaac Sim, or custom rigs
