Today's robots are stranded with brittle, hardware-locked code that cannot adapt to new environments or form factors. You will architect the low-level firmware layer that allows our platform-agnostic intelligence to breathe life into diverse mechanical bodies. This role demands deep expertise in C/C++ to bridge the gap between abstract neural policies and physical actuation.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience developing embedded firmware in C or C++.
  • Proven track record of deploying software on resource-constrained microcontrollers or real-time systems.
  • Strong understanding of robotics stacks, including motor control, sensor integration, and communication protocols.
  • Ability to optimize code for latency and determinism in safety-critical applications.
