Preferred Skills * Experience streaming high-bandwidth low-latency realtime data at scale, such as realtime camera video, LiDAR, depth sensors, occupancy maps, or other realtime data. * Experience developing VR or mixed reality applications using OpenXR, Unreal Engine, Unity, or similar platforms. * Experience building visualization systems for robotics, autonomous vehicles, simulation, VR, or digital twins. * Experience developing low-latency highly responsive consumer apps. ## Description The Apps team builds software for users to control Neo and the systems that developers use to build their own apps. Mobile and web apps built by this team are used to deploy, monitor, and manage humanoid robots in the real world; provide operational visibility; and give consumers an easy way to use their Neo in their home. Your Charter Lead the development of the graphics, visualization, and immersive rendering systems that power 1X's VR teleoperation platform. You will build the interfaces consumers and operators rely on to understand robot state, interact with live environments, and safely control humanoid robots. You'll build optimized video/audio transport to stream at the lowest possible latency all throughout the stack. Key Outcomes * Design and deliver high-performance, low-latency graphics pipelines that enable responsive VR teleoperation of humanoid robots. * Build immersive visualization apps that provide operators with real-time situational awareness using camera feeds, depth data, haptics, audio, and other robot sensor information. * Improve rendering performance, responsiveness, and reliability across GPU, CPU, and networking systems to support ultra low-latency real-world robot operations. * Partner with software, operator, and technician teams to integrate live robot data into intuitive operator interfaces. * Establish scalable graphics architecture and engineering best practices that support the continued growth of 1X's teleoperation platform. ## Related Videos - [How to develop an autonomous car end-to-end: Robotic Drive and the mobility revolution](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/22-how-to-develop-an-autonomous-car-end-to-end-robotic-drive-and-the-mobility-revolution) - [Swapping Low Latency Data Storage Under High Load](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/746-swapping-low-latency-data-storage-under-high-load) - [Apple Vision Pro: Proven Development Methods Meet the Latest Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1190-apple-vision-pro-proven-development-methods-meet-the-latest-technology) - [XR Demystified: Separating Facts from Fiction in 2024](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1117-xr-demystified-separating-facts-from-fiction-in-2024) - [Live Coding an Augmented Reality Game with WebXR](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/199-live-coding-an-augmented-reality-game-with-webxr) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [6 Emerging Technologies We’ll Learn About in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/381-6-emerging-technologies-we-ll-learn-about-in-2025) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
