  • Collaborate with the Teleop and Fleet teams to ensure real-time data flows cleanly across systems
  • Write testable, modular code that works across simulation and hardware-in-the-loop environments

What you bring

  • Strong experience with ROS 2 and C++ or Python in a robotics context
  • Familiarity with real-time systems, control theory, and kinematic modeling
  • Comfort with integrating hardware drivers and debugging on real robots
  • Bonus: experience with Gazebo, RViz, MoveIt, or custom simulation environments
