We are at the forefront of developing advanced humanoid robots designed for household use. Our mission is to create an abundant supply of labor via safe, intelligent robots. We seek the world's most talented individuals with a passion for inventing and building a more prosperous future.

As we transition from R&D to full-scale manufacturing, we seek an experienced Senior Systems Programmer. If you are a systems programmer who has worked on real-time vision/lidar/radar systems, real-time streaming platforms, high-performance game engines, or high-frequency trading platforms where low latency is critical, this role is for you. You will collaborate closely with roboticists, mechanical engineers, computer scientists, and machine learning experts to bring cutting-edge technology to life.

Why this job is exciting

  • Be part of a team developing a state-of-the-art, human-in-the-loop teleoperations and autonomy stack that enables advanced capabilities for humanoid robots.
  • You will work with a highly motivated team of robot operators giving instant feedback and using the system to perform useful tasks daily.
  • See your work deployed globally, where humanoid robots perform real-world tasks in diverse environments, making a tangible impact.
  • Collaborate with a team of world-class roboticists, engineers, and AI experts to push the boundaries of robotics and technology
Responsibilities
  • Create and implement novel techniques to minimize system latency and computational load.
  • Utilize GPU acceleration to enhance image processing and inference tasks, ensuring high performance and responsiveness in real-time applications.
  • Contribute to the development of low-latency vision systems for NEO, integrating cameras, sensors, and image processing algorithms to enhance robotic perception.
  • Build and optimize real-time streaming solutions within the robot, focusing on efficient compression, decompression, and data transmission under limited compute resources.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to seamlessly integrate vision systems into the robot's overall architecture, contributing to a robust and efficient teleoperations and autonomy stack.
  • Solid experience with Linux and C++ programming.
  • Proven experience building large software applications in relevant domains.
  • Proficiency in handling memory management and hardware resources in C++/Rust.
  • Strong skills in using C-APIs to access low-level system resources (e.g., V4L, POSIX, OpenGL, CUDA).
  • Deep understanding of OS primitives and experience implementing them in real-time systems.
  • First-hand experience optimizing for low latency and high throughput on modern CPUs.
  • Experience working with hardware accelerators through C-APIs.
  • Background in systems where latency is critical (e.g., robotics, real-time control systems, high-frequency trading, high-performance gaming engines).

It will be nice if you had
  • Understanding of modern CMOS cameras and image signal processing.
  • Experience with video encoding and decoding.
  • Familiarity with media streaming protocols (RTSP, RTP, SDP, WebRTC).
  • Knowledge of forward error correction techniques for unreliable network streams.
