## About the role

We believe general-purpose, generally-intelligent robots will be built in our lifetimes. Robots will work in our factories, move our goods, walk on our streets and eventually be in our homes. To build that future, research and deployment must work in lockstep: real-world operation must make the technology better and better technology must make deployment easier. We're looking for the thinkers, builders, and researchers who want to be part of that loop.

## What they're looking for

- Experience shipping perception or monitoring software on robots or vehicles: Lidar or camera pipelines, detection, tracking, or sensor fusion, running on hardware in production
- You have owned code where a bug could injure someone: You know how that changes design, testing, and review
- Strong software engineering: Python and C++ or similar, real-time constraints, and code that other people can verify
- Some controls knowledge: Stopping distances, latency budgets, and how a perception decision becomes a motion command
- You fix what you find: When you find a weakness, you propose the fix and usually build it
