Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain robot software systems for industrial assembly and inspection applications
- Integrate cameras and sensors including calibration, coordinate frame management, and data pipelines
- Implement and debug coordinate transforms, hand-eye calibration, and rigid body math in production software
- Build production-quality C++ and Python software for real-time robotic systems
- Arcitect multi-process and multi-threaded systems for reliable robot operation
- Collaborate with algorithms and perception engineers to deploy 3D vision capabilities on robot platforms
- Develop testing, debugging, and deployment infrastructure for robot software
Minimum Qualifications
