Job description
- Own the onboard software platform on NVIDIA Jetson: Real-Time Linux configuration, scheduling, and performance tuning
- Deploy and optimize neural network policies for real-time inference: TensorRT, quantization, zero-copy data paths, strict latency budgets
- Implement and maintain the EtherCAT/CAN master and the joint-level communication with the Motor Controller PCBs
- Integrate sensors: IMU drivers, filtering and time synchronization, cameras and additional sensing as needed
- Build the middleware that moves observations and actions between the bus and the policy at loop rate, deterministically
- Develop logging, replay, and introspection tooling for the whole robot software stack
- Work daily with the RL and Sim2Real engineers on the deployment pipeline, and with embedded on the bus API
Requirements
- A systems software engineer who thinks in latency budgets and memory copies
- Equally comfortable in CUDA/TensorRT and in a CAN bus trace
- You take full ownership from kernel configuration to inference output, * B.Sc. in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
- 8+ years of software engineering with heavy C/C++ focus; deep understanding of modern C++, memory management, and parallelism
- Extensive experience developing and debugging in embedded Linux environments; real-time or low-latency systems experience
- Hands-on experience deploying neural networks on edge platforms (NVIDIA Jetson, TensorRT or equivalent)
- Knowledge of embedded communication protocols: EtherCAT, CAN, SPI, I2C
- Production-grade Python for tooling and pipelines
- Experience with PREEMPT_RT kernels and real-time performance monitoring
Advantages:
- Experience with GPU-accelerated services using zero-copy mechanisms to minimize data transfer latency
- ROS 2 experience
- Background in autonomous driving or edge-AI platforms (e.g., Xpeng, NIO, Horizon Robotics)
- Comfortable communicating technical topics in English with international teams
