Role
Who you are
- BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- 2+ years of industry experience in software engineering
- Proficiency in C++ and CUDA C
- Expertise in optimizing software for NVIDIA Jetson platforms
- Strong skills in software engineering and algorithm development
- Familiarity with the Nvidia edge inference ecosystem (e.g. VPI, TensorRT, etc.)
Desirable
- Experience with multithreading and multithreading frameworks
- Experience optimizing 2D and 3D vision algorithms for NVIDIA Jetson (e.g., stereo vision, optical flow, detection, tracking, pose estimation)
- Familiarity with deep learning algorithms and pipelines
- Experience with sensor calibration (multi-camera systems, extrinsic/intrinsic calibration)
- Proficiency with embedded Linux (e.g., Yocto)

- Familiarity with transport layers and inter-process communication for robotics systems (e.g., ROS, GRPC, Boost, Interprocess, NATS, ZeroMQ)
- Experience with shared memory for inter-process communication
What the job involves
- We are seeking a driven Senior Computer Vision Engineer - Embedded Systems and CUDA to build, deploy, and optimize advanced robot perception systems that run on integrated hardware. You will collaborate with top-tier researchers and engineers in robotics and AI to create cutting-edge robotics vision systems.
- The primary development languages will be C++ and CUDA C. The ideal candidate will have experience developing robotics software for embedded systems, particularly with NVIDIA Jetson, and possess strong software engineering skills
- Collaborate with perception and robotics teams to develop and optimize code for NVIDIA Jetson platforms
- Adapt and scale research solutions to run efficiently on robot hardware, maximizing the use of compute and sensors
- Write clean, efficient, and well-tested code
- Document APIs for seamless integration and understanding by other teams
Our take
Increasing complexity in supply chains and demand has meant manufacturing and logistics are incorporating more robotics and automation. These systems, however, can be cumbersome, costly, and brittle, meaning it’s difficult for them to adapt to new demand. Robust’s solution is a platform enabling rapid, no-code setup of robotic transport systems in warehouses to help transport materials and tools.
The idea is that these robots work with, not instead of, human workforces - and it’s just the first slate of applications for Robust’s deeper tech. The aim is to develop an all-purpose cognitive engine that will produce robots that can make decisions in open-ended environments.
The potential applications for a common-sense cognitive platform are sweeping, even if Robust’s beginnings are fairly modest. It’s planning to build out its own datasets and pursue strategic alliances with companies across different verticals - it’s already in conversation with iRobot for application of its AI layer in homes, for example.
With the heavy-hitting founding team of robotics veterans at the helm, Robust is making painstaking and careful progress in what is growing to be a multi-billion dollar global robotics industry. It will be interesting to see how its tech progresses.
