Senior Software Engineer - Robotics, Perception (C++, Python)

We're looking for a Software Engineer with deep experience in C++ and Python to lead the development of core systems powering our intelligent robotic platforms. In this role, you'll architect and implement high-performance software at the intersection of real-time robotics, perception, and machine learning. You'll take technical ownership of critical components, mentor team members, and help shape the future of our robotics software stack.

- Drive software architecture decisions across robotics and perception systems.

- Design, implement, and optimize performance-critical components of the robotics and perception stack in C++ and Python.

- Develop and integrate 3D point cloud processing algorithms for weld joint perception, including registration, pose estimation, segmentation, and geometric reasoning.

- Lead the integration of machine learning models into real-time systems, ensuring low-latency, high-reliability performance.

- Design and implement gRPC/Protobuf service interfaces with attention to schema versioning and backward-compatible API evolution.

- Instrument perception systems for production observability, building telemetry pipelines that connect algorithmic metrics to business outcomes.

- Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

- 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering; title and compensation will be commensurate with experience.

- Solid grasp of system-level software design, concurrency, memory management, and optimization.

- Advanced proficiency in modern C++ and Python, with demonstrated experience building production services using gRPC and Protobuf.

- Experience with robotics or perception applications, including familiarity with ROS/ROS2, motion planning, and hardware interfaces is preferred.

- Proficient in Linux-based development; experience with Docker strongly preferred
