Cortex is the software and control architecture at the heart of every Emesent scanner. It's what takes you from handheld mapping all the way to autonomously controlling robotic systems connected to it. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Capture team, you'll focus on the software engineering craft that makes Cortex robust and reliable: sound architecture, high-quality code, strong automated testing, and smooth deployment.

• You'll work hands-on across the stack with a strong focus on the software architecture and deployment of the robotics Cortex stack, from low-level C++ modules to the Python tooling that supports development work, testing, tuning, and deployment. This is a senior individual contributor role reporting to the Capture Engineering Manager, where we're looking first and foremost for depth in software engineering.

Key Responsibilities

Software Design & Architecture

• Apply SOLID software engineering and architectural principles across the Cortex stack
• Contribute to and help evolve the software architecture so it remains scalable, maintainable, and extensible as the platform and team grow
• Design, implement, and maintain core Cortex modules, including domains such as hardware interface, navigation, mapping, and perception
• Make sound technical trade-offs and drive design decisions that keep the stack reliable as it scales
