  • Develop software for embedded systems and GPU-accelerated algorithms.
  • Work on perception simulation using rendering engines and simulated robot sensors.
  • Build tools for log visualization and analysis.
  • Maintain and enhance our code repository, ensuring it evolves to meet our needs through CI/CD practices, testing, and deployment.
Desirable Experience:
  • 5+ years of software development experience in C++, with familiarity in Python.
  • Expertise in robot perception systems and sensors.
  • Hands-on experience with common sensor modalities such as RGB, depth, stereo, ToF, and Lidar.
  • Strong understanding of computer vision algorithms and ML systems.
  • Experience with embedded systems and accelerators.
  • Knowledge of 3D transformations and projective geometry.
  • Familiarity with robot middleware systems and pub/sub architectures.

We're a team that's shaping the future of robotics, and we're excited to have you join us at Boston Dynamics.
