Full Time /
On-site
About this role:
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. We make cutting-edge solutions that feel as natural as breathing.
Pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, our team of industry veterans is raising the bar for autonomous and collaborative robots. We are developing and deploying, at scale, iconic people-centered robots. We know we have succeeded when customers ask why other robotic solutions don’t feel like ours — effortless, intuitive, and delightful.
We believe that all machines that have physical actuators will soon be intelligent. In a sense, all machines will become intelligent robots, and Robust.AI’s software platform will power the intelligence of the world’s machines. As our Senior Software Engineer, Jetson, and CUDA, you will be developing software that makes this vision a reality.
Job brief:
We are looking for a passionate Senior Software Engineer to develop, deploy, and optimize robot perception systems that can run on integrated hardware. You will work with a team of world-class researchers and engineers on robotics and AI, to build the next generation of robotics vision systems. You will work mainly in C++ and CUDA C. Ideal candidates have a background in writing robotics software on embedded systems (especially NVIDIA Jetson), as well as strong software engineering skills.
In your role you will:
- Lead on-robot software optimization efforts, and coordinate with other teams
- Work with perception and other robotics teams to develop, deploy and optimize code for NVIDIA Jetson
- Optimize and scale cutting edge research to work efficiently on robot’s compute and sensors
- Write clean and performant code, including tests
- Write documentation so others can effortlessly understand your API
Essential skills:
- BS, MS or PhD in CS or a related technical field involving Software Engineering, Computer Vision, Electrical Engineering or equivalent
- 4+ years industry software engineering experience
- Experience with C++ and CUDA C
- Experience with multithreading and/or multithreading frameworks
- Experience of optimizing software for NVIDIA Jetson platforms
- Excellent software engineering and algorithm skills
- Experience with the Nvidia edge inference ecosystem (VPI, TensorRT, Deepstream, Isaac ROS, GXF, etc.)
- Experience with embedded Linux such as Yocto
Desired skills (one or more):
- Experience optimizing 2D and 3D vision algorithms for NVIDIA Jetson. For example: stereo vision, optical flow, auto-exposure, detection, tracking, pose estimation
- Experience with deep learning algorithms and pipelines
- Experience with extrinsic and intrinsic sensor calibration, including multi-camera systems
- Experience with specialized libraries, languages and frameworks like Pytorch, TensorFlow, OpenCV, PCL
- Experience with transport layers for robots and computer systems like ROS, GRPC, Boost.Interprocess, NATS, ZeroMQ
- Experience with inter-process communication over shared memory
What we offer:
- Base pay is dependent on your skills, qualifications, and experience.
- Stock options and huge potential for growth.
- Strong startup (and fun) culture.
- Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage.
- Flexible vacation and sick leave practices.
- Paid parental leave.
Robust AI fosters a culture of belonging and a shared commitment to equality and equity. Having a diverse set of perspectives is key to ensuring AI and robotics serve the needs of all.
