    • Strong proficiency in C++.
    • Experience using linear algebra and 3D geometry to solve engineering problems.
    • Experience with Linux.
    • Strong passion to make robotics systems to be used in production.

Preferable Requirements

    • Proven experience in developing concurrent and hierarchical robotic software systems such as ROS.
    • Experience leading software development in small to medium-scale teams.
    • In-depth knowledge of multi-joint robot hardware.
    • Advanced Linux user.
    • Mathematical background such as multibody dynamics, collision checking, search algorithms, and optimization.

Attractiveness

    • We are focused on solving real-world problems and your contributions are deployed quickly to empower industrial robots to perform tasks that were previously impossible.
    • Our team members come from specialized areas in robotics and have achieved degrees from top-tier universities such as Nanyang Technological University, Carnegie Mellon University, and MIT, and some have won top prizes in robotics competitions.
    • We use "machine intelligence" to make our robots intelligent. It's a fusion of real-time motion planning, perception, simulation, and control technologies. Read it here.
    • As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer, you will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge robotics technologies, mentor junior team members, and contribute to the development of innovative solutions. We are looking for a passionate and experienced individual who can lead the development of advanced robotics software systems.
