• Drive the technical roadmap for robotic control systems, exploring and integrating new technologies and algorithms

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to other engineers, helping them grow and solve complex problems

What You Have:

• 8+ years of proven experience in software development, with a track record of successfully shipping multiple complex hardware products, most ideally within robotics

• Deep expertise in C++, with a mastery of system design, low-level debugging, and performance optimization.
