  • Familiarity with containerization, DevOps, or edge/cloud infrastructure.
  • Exceptional skills in C++ and Python, including performance optimization.
  • Strong systems-level thinking and comfort working with uncertainty or shifting priorities.
  • Experience with some or all of the following robotics topics:
    • Working with robotics sensors (Lidars, RGBD cameras, IMUs, etc.)
    • Localization and state estimation techniques
    • Classical robot controls (kinematics, motion planning)
    • Training perception models around 3D geometry and scene understanding

Bonus Points

  • MS or higher in robotics or a related field
  • Experience building data collection and training pipelines
  • Familiarity with robotics simulators (Isaac Sim, PyBullet, Gazebo)
