As an Embedded Software Engineer on the Perception and Safety R&D Team, you will join a small cross-functional group developing robotic technologies that will enable our robots to operate safely around people and in the environment utilizing sensors on dedicated computing platforms. You will have the opportunity to help deploy embodied AI/ML systems safely around people. In this role you will write high integrity software that runs on our robots, implement critical functions, and create a safety-critical software stack that will unlock the ability for human-robot collaboration.
Working on a small team, you’ll have the opportunity to take end-to-end ownership of new systems which will become part of our future products. If you are creative, thrive in a small team environment, and passionate about a world where humans and robots truly work together - come join us!

How you will make an impact:

• Design, create, and validate embedded software which helps to ensure our robots can operate safely in the presence of people
• Work at the boundaries of hardware and software to unite the many components of a robot into a single functioning system that is performant and fault tolerant
• Lead cross-functional technical projects involving interdisciplinary efforts to develop robotic perception and computing sub-systems
• Integrate and evaluate new systems with our robots to test and deliver safe robotics.
• Help build the infrastructure and operations for a unique small R&D team inside of Boston Dynamics working closely together to unlock new capabilities for our robots.
• Be part of a team bringing cutting edge technology to improve the safety of robotics working in real world applications.

We are looking for:

• 7+ years of experience in C/C++ and embedded systems.
• Experience writing and delivering safety critical software, for example for autonomous vehicles, driver assist systems, robotics, or medical devices.
• Experience developing software systems for time-sensitive control systems, including working with real-time operating systems and networks
• Experience developing performant software for dealing with data from sensors, such as cameras, lidars, radars, or IMUs.
• Experience working within a standardized functional safety process (e.g. IEC 61508 or ISO 26262) is a plus
• Strong communication skills, including ability to author technical documentation and deliver presentations on technical topics
• History of leading cross-functional technical efforts through planning, technical requirement development, and interdisciplinary collaboration
• History of working in small, fast moving, interdisciplinary teams.

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.
