## Description

We're looking for a Software Engineer with deep experience in C++ and Python to lead the development of core systems powering our intelligent robotic platforms. In this role, you'll architect and implement high-performance software at the intersection of real-time robotics, perception, and machine learning. You'll take technical ownership of critical components, mentor team members, and help shape the future of our robotics software stack.
What You'll Do

 * Drive software architecture decisions across robotics and perception systems.
 * Design, implement, and optimize performance-critical components of the robotics and perception stack in C++ and Python.
 * Develop and integrate 3D point cloud processing algorithms for weld joint perception, including registration, pose estimation, segmentation, and geometric reasoning.
 * Lead the integration of machine learning models into real-time systems, ensuring low-latency, high-reliability performance.
 * Design and implement gRPC/Protobuf service interfaces with attention to schema versioning and backward-compatible API evolution.
 * Instrument perception systems for production observability, building telemetry pipelines that connect algorithmic metrics to business outcomes., * Daily free lunch to keep you fueled and connected with the team
