The Software Engineer will work as part of our Automation Controls team to develop software which controls and monitors large, designed-in-house robotic systems. This includes designing data systems to facilitate real world interactions, synchronizing data across multiple layers of the software stack, handling mid and high-level system commands, developing high-level control algorithms, and managing software communication.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or similar
• At least two years experience designing software systems, with a strong grasp on architecture, design patterns, reliability and scaling (We would consider a highly motivated recent-grad with significant project and/or intern experience)
• Candidates must have experience working with large code bases and strong software fundamentals in object-oriented design, data structures, algorithm design, and complexity analysis.
• Familiarity with electromechanical systems is not required. While this is not a low-level firmware role, candidates must be comfortable learning on the job and excited by the chance to do some hands-on work in testing their code with hardware systems.
• Experience working with databases such as MongoDB and MySQL and data modeling
• Experience in C, C or C#, including multi-threaded and low-latency applications
• Experience in version control and unit testing
• Ability to generate and implement creative ideas, mostly unsupervised
• Team player, ready to learn and work in a fast-paced startup environment

What we’d love to see

• Experience with .NET Framework, C#, Visual Studio
• Experience working with software communication, TCP/IP, HTTP and REST
• Experience in programming robot behavior such as HFSM or Behavior Trees
• Experience with developing microservices and using gRPC
• Understanding of robotics concepts like motor drive controllers, sensors, finite state machines, PID control
• Experience with hardware-interfacing Linux systems
• Mission driven with a care for local and global communities, and desire to make an impact through technology
• Not afraid of robots

What You Get

• A chance to be an early team member and leader of a rapidly growing startup and have an impact on company and technology direction
• The ability to solve challenging problems with a skilled, dedicated and friendly multi-disciplinary team
• A balanced, highly collaborative work environment
• Ability to work hybrid on-site in the Bay Area
• Competitive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 401K, life and disability coverage
• A PTO policy where we encourage and expect all employees to take time to enjoy life outside of work
• Discount on groceries from our store
• The salary range for this position is 120,000 - $180,000 plus stock and benefits. Pay within the range is based on candidate experience, job-specific skills, education, and work location.
