Robot Software Engineer

Our Mission
Our mission is to solve the most important and fundamental challenges in AI and Robotics to enable future generations of intelligent machines that will help us all live better lives.

We need outstanding talent at all levels across AI, robotics, computing, machine learning, machine perception, software, mechanical, and electrical engineering with a passion for developing technology for robots and use it to advance their capabilities and usefulness.  

Robot Software Engineers will work cross-functionally to improve robot software at the institute and around the world.  If you have a passion for developing technology for robots and use it to advance their capabilities and usefulness, you will want to join us!

The candidate will be the main maintainer of the Spot code base here.  This involves working with internal researchers to add new features, working with external contributors by testing and vetting their code, as well as managing contractors and orchestrating internal development.  Mostly in Python, but with some C++, the Spot code makes heavy use of ROS2 and spans multiple public and private repositories.
What you'll do:
  • Work directly with robots to improve their capabilities, including creating new skills and behaviors, writing drivers, and improving debugging tools.
  • Work collaboratively with our internal research teams and our external partners to improve robot software.
  • Help us maintain our open source repositories by adding features, responding to externally and internally submitted bugs, and creating quality documentation.
  • Promote quality and reliability through regular code reviews
  • What we are looking for:
  • BS or MS in computer science, robotics, electrical/mechanical/aerospace engineering, or a related field
  • 2+ years experience
  • Experience with C++ or Python
  • Experience working with robots
  • Experience with ROS2
  • Bonus (Not Required)
  • Experience working with machine learning, physics simulators, or similar applications
  • Experience maintaining open source repositories
