## About the role

We are looking for a Senior Robotics Software Engineer specializing in System Identification and Modeling to build the core software powering our next-generation autonomous robots. In this role, you will develop and maintain the mathematical models, parameter estimation pipelines, and feedforward/feedback control systems that allow our robots to operate with exceptional reliability, precision, and efficiency in real production environments.

- Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
- 5+ years of software engineering experience building production robotics systems
- Strong foundation in dynamics, controls, and system identification — including least-squares regression, parameter estimation, state-space and transfer-function modeling, and feedforward/feedback controller design
- Hands-on experience characterizing real electromechanical systems: motors, gearboxes, linear actuators, articulated arms, or similar mechanisms
- Strong proficiency in at least one of the following: Rust, Python, C++
- Proven ability to design, implement, and maintain complex, high-reliability software systems
