About the job:

If you want to do the best work of your life, believe diversity is a strength, and be part of an inclusive team of people who care deeply, keep reading.

We believe that all machines that have physical actuators will soon be intelligent. In a sense, all machines will become intelligent robots, and Robust.AI’s software platform will power the intelligence of the world’s machines. As our Senior Software Engineer, Jetson, and CUDA, you will be developing software that makes this vision a reality.

Robust AI is a fast-growing, early-stage startup founded in 2019 by an unsurpassed team of veterans in robotics, AI, and business. We are a collaborative group with a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives, seeking talented individuals who are just as excited about robotics and AI as we are! Help us redefine the very foundation of robotics and build robots that are smart, collaborative, robust, safe, flexible, and genuinely autonomous.

Job brief:

We are looking for a passionate Senior Software Engineer to develop, deploy, and optimize robot perception systems that can run on integrated hardware. You will work with a team of world-class researchers and engineers on robotics and AI, to build the next generation of robotics vision systems. You will work mainly in C and CUDA C. Ideal candidates have a background in optimizing robotics software on embedded systems (especially NVIDIA Jetson), as well as strong software engineering skills.

In your role you will:
