Senior Robotics Software Engineer (Up to $200k)

This role is focused on one of the hardest problems in robotics: localization in GPS-denied environments.

You’ll take ownership of building the systems that allow lunar rovers to accurately determine their position using sensor data in extreme conditions., * Developing localization systems using IMU, LIDAR, cameras, and sensor fusion

• Applying techniques such as SLAM, EKF, and INS
• Testing and validating systems on real rover prototypes in outdoor environments
• Running simulations using tools like Gazebo and real terrain datasets
• Iterating quickly based on real-world performance and failure modes
• Collaborating with autonomy teams across planning and perception

This is a highly hands-on role where you’ll be working across the full lifecycle - from design to real-world deployment.

• 5+ years programming in Python and/or C/C++
• Experience building software for real robotic systems (not just simulation)
• Strong background in localization (SLAM, EKF, INS, etc.)
• Experience in GPS-denied or similar environments
• Eligibility to work under US export regulations, * Experience with ground robots or autonomous vehicles
• LIDAR or vision-based localization (e.g., VSLAM, visual odometry)
• Familiarity with ROS / ROS2 and simulation tools

• Salary up to 200k + equity
• Health, dental, and vision coverage
• Generous PTO
• Opportunity to work on real-world systems targeting lunar deployment
