- Polyglot & Systems Tooling: Proficiency with Python, Linux, shell tooling, and debugging problems across language and system boundaries
- Autonomy & Ownership: Ability to take an ambiguous problem, work with its users, and carry a solution through implementation and adoption
- Hands-on experience with Bazel
More about this role
Eka Robotics is on a mission to build intelligence for the physical world - robots that are fast, general, and reliable. Our approach, grounded in physics, unlocks superhuman capabilities. We are defining the frontier of robotics research and deployment.
Making progress towards the above requires tools that let researchers and engineers move quickly from an idea to a working experiment and, ultimately, to a real robot.
