Your mornings start by writing C++ control loops that dictate how a mechanized chassis navigates an unpredictable mine shaft or a bustling distribution hub. You will translate complex physical dynamics into Python algorithms, leverage NumPy for heavy signal processing, and continuously tune real-time responses to ensure safe, autonomous operation in gritty, unstructured environments. This is engineering where software physically meets the dirt.

What they're looking for

  • 3 to 10 years of hands-on experience developing control systems for autonomous hardware.
  • Fluency in Python and C/C++ for real-time, production-grade robotics programming.
  • Deep proficiency with NumPy and scientific computing tools for sensor data manipulation.
  • Proven ability to design, simulate, and deploy robust controllers that handle real-world physical variability.
