Software Engineer

We are seeking a highly motivated Software Engineer to join the Stretch Perception and Machine Learning (PerML) team. In this role, you will play an important role in building, maintaining, and expanding a successful product that is already solving problems outside of the lab for customers around the world.

The Stretch PerML team works to provide Stretch the environmental understanding it needs to successfully perform its tasks. This includes system components such as object detection, localization, state estimation, and calibration. The team also develops and maintains key pieces of infrastructure to enable our work, including sensor drivers, debugging and visualization tools, logging capabilities, and off-robot data processing pipelines. Additionally, we regularly test our robots, analyze their performance, and continually improve the reliability of the products we deliver to our customers.

In this role, you will:

• Use robotics and computer vision algorithms to solve problems on Stretch

• Harden existing approaches to increase robustness

• Evaluate Stretch’s performance via thorough robot testing and data analysis

• Develop efficient, testable, and maintainable code in C++

• Collaborate within Stretch PerML and with adjacent teams

We are looking for:

• BS or MS in Computer Science or a related field

• 2+ years’ of experience as a Software Engineer or relevant role

• Strong C++ software development skills and knowledge of best practices

• Familiarity with or desire to learn robotics algorithms, especially related to perception and/or machine learning (e.g. image processing, working with point clouds, state estimation, object detection)

• Familiarity with or desire to work closely with robots, including hands-on testing at our different sites

• Strong communication skills

We are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. However, we are not able to sponsor visas for this position.
