Big hard problems are our everyday work and our team of intelligent humble and driven people make the impossible possible together.

Our Senior Software Engineers dont just write code they architect and design the foundations of our robotic sensing this role youll drive the technical direction of software development for sensor systems real-time image processing and embedded platforms that power AI-driven robotic applications. Youll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to design implement and deploy advanced sensing algorithms and embedded features at scale

What Youll Do

Architecture & Design

• Lead the architecture and design of software for hardware abstraction layers for cameras lasers and 3D scanners.
• Define system interfaces data flows and integration patterns across hardware abstraction sensing algorithms and robotic control.
• Establish technical standards and best practices for robust scalable sensor software.

Technical Responsibilities

• Design and implement software for robotic 3D sensing applications including calibration pipelines and stereo vision.
• Build and support services that rely on robotic vision sensors (e.g. prescanning TCP calibration).
• Apply classical computer vision and deep learning methods to sensing challenges.
• Leverage NVIDIAs software suite (Omniverse Isaac JetPack TensorRT CUDA) for real-time edge-based robotic applications.
• Ensure robustness reliability and advanced error detection within sensor systems.
• Lead development and deployment on edge platforms (e.g. NVIDIA Jetson) with a focus on real-time vision-based AI applications.
• Drive seamless integration of sensing systems into the larger robotic platform.

How You Deliver

• Own the full development lifecycle requirements design implementation deployment and ongoing optimization.
• Collaborate with robotics AI and hardware teams to align architecture with product goals.
