Job Description

Key Responsibilities

  • Architect and implement real-time robotic control loops in Python with deterministic performance (< 1ms jitter).

  • Extend and optimize CPython internals (GIL modeling, garbage collector zones, bytecode tracing) for robotics use cases.

  • Build high-performance Python bridges using Cython, PyO3, and native extensions to interface with embedded systems.

  • Develop and deploy control systems implementing PID, LQR, and MPC in production robotic applications.

  • Engineer sensor fusion pipelines integrating IMU, LiDAR, and computer vision streams.

  • Integrate Python with SPI, I2C, CAN buses and coordinate with RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr) for real-time operation.

  • Design safety-critical robotics software in compliance with ISO 26262, DO-178C, IEC 61508.

  • Create failover logic, watchdogs, and fault injection frameworks to ensure resilience in deployed robots.

  • Lead the development of digital twins, motion planning, and middleware for dynamic robot fleets.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional research teams in autonomy, perception, and embedded engineering.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or Electrical Engineering (PhD preferred).

  • 8-12 years total experience in software engineering, with at least 6+ years in robotics-focused Python development.

  • Proven track record in designing, deploying, and controlling real robots (drones, manipulators, autonomous vehicles).

  • Strong expertise in ROS2 (DDS tuning, custom nodes) and robotic simulation frameworks (Isaac, Mujoco, PyBullet).

  • Experience writing or modifying firmware for ARM/RISC-V and coordinating with Python runtime.

  • Strong background in safety-critical systems engineering and formal verification (TLA+, SMV).

  • Contributions to open-source robotics or Python runtime projects.

  • Experience building motion planning algorithms in pure Python.

  • Hands-on development of digital twins with near real-time sync (< 5ms loop).

  • Familiarity with blockchain or edge-computing architectures for robotics fleets.
