This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United Kingdom.

📋 Description

• Design the robot operating system and establish abstractions for robots, cameras, tools, jobs, work planning, dispatch, shared state, and failure management.

• Determine the allocation of components between Python and Rust.

• Incorporate computer vision algorithms into the robotics control loop for part detection, centering, pick verification, and placement verification.

• Develop production-grade agentic robotics capabilities utilizing large models for part programming, pick assessment, fault diagnosis, and recovery.

• Manage the routing of multiple movers to prevent collisions or deadlocks.

• Coordinate operations involving gantries, printers, and ovens.

• Create interfaces that connect high-level planning with real-time motor controllers.

• Develop simulation, tracing, and replay systems to enhance observability, validation, and failure analysis.

⛳️ Requirements

• Proven experience in working on, and ideally architecting, a large-scale robot codebase deployed on actual hardware in production environments.

• Strong software engineering capabilities in Python and Rust, or C++ with a willingness to transition to Rust.

• Proficient knowledge of types, testing, concurrency, and well-defined architecture.

• Experience in one or more areas including motion or path planning, multi-robot coordination, controls, perception, and scheduling.

• Practical experience with LLMs or vision-language models in robotics, or a strong motivation to pursue this.

• Familiarity with coding agents.

• Readiness to travel to factories in the US and UK.

• Relevant experience with OpenCV, PyTorch, ONNX Runtime, Claude and OpenAI APIs, OR-Tools, PostgreSQL, OpenTelemetry, and ClickHouse as it pertains to the mentioned stack.
