About the role
- Real-Time Pipelines: Engineer low-latency, high-reliability sensor, actuator, and video streaming pipelines across Linux, drivers, and middleware, ensuring strict frame timing and packet scheduling.
- System Performance: Profile and optimize across compute, I/O, memory, scheduling, networking, and storage to meet real-time constraints and increase overall system throughput.
- Whisper to the Kernel: Extend or modify Linux components, drivers, and scheduling mechanisms to achieve deterministic behavior under heavy system load.
- Develop Reliability & Debugging Tooling: Create advanced tools for profiling, tracing, and debugging complex timing issues across distributed systems and hardware interfaces.
- Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner with researchers, robotics/hardware/firmware engineers, and robot operator teams to seamlessly integrate optimized production pipelines into workflows.
- Strong Proficiency in Rust, Python and/or C++, with 3+ years of real production experience of building real-time systems.
- Linux systems programming experience (kernel parameters, scheduling, memory/IO subsystems, syscalls)
- Systems mindset and ability to optimize the stack end-to-end: a mindset focused on determinism, throughput, scalability and hard real-time correctness.
- Fluent English speaker
- Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- Experience in camera systems (synchronization, codecs, GPU offload)
- Experience in kernel-level engineering
- Experience in hard real-time distributed systems
- Streaming experience (WebRTC / real-time-transport)
- Experience in deploying highly reliable robotic systems in production
