  • Build and tune motion control systems for mobile or articulated platforms
  • Implement state estimation, localization, and navigation behaviors
  • Collaborate with the Teleop and Fleet teams to ensure real-time data flows cleanly across systems
  • Write testable, modular code that works across simulation and hardware-in-the-loop environments

What you bring

  • Strong experience with ROS 2 and C++ or Python in a robotics context
  • Familiarity with real-time systems, control theory, and kinematic modeling
  • Comfort with integrating hardware drivers and debugging on real robots
  • Bonus: experience with Gazebo, RViz, MoveIt, or custom simulation environments
  • Bonus: background in autonomy, SLAM, or onboard compute optimization

Additional Notes

  • Our team develops on physical robots in person
  • Need to be located or willing to relocate in San Francisco, CA
