About the Teleoperation Team

The Teleoperation Team connects human expertise with robotic systems. Success depends on accurate, fast, and consistent data that mirrors the robot’s real-time environment. This group ensures operators can trust every response, even over unpredictable networks.

Role Overview: Senior Systems & Robotics Engineer – Teleoperation

This position centers on the technical infrastructure that powers machine-side teleoperation. The Senior Systems & Robotics Engineer will develop frameworks for data transport, integrate hardware components, and build monitoring systems to support seamless human-robot interaction across challenging network conditions. Latency is a critical concern; every millisecond matters for operator confidence.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design low-latency, fault-tolerant data streaming systems that work reliably over WiFi, cellular, and other networks.
  • Develop software that interfaces directly with hardware SDKs for robotic perception and control.
  • Create real-time data pipelines to connect motion capture and hardware prototypes for demos and training.
  • Establish monitoring, metrics, and alerting systems that scale with a growing fleet of robots.
  • Build web APIs and backend services for data collection, remote operation, and analytics.
  • Develop embedded Linux software within the firmware stack to address latency and performance challenges.

Qualifications

  • At least 5 years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on systems, embedded systems, or robotics.
  • Proficiency in Rust and C++, plus strong Python skills for tool development and performance-critical work.
  • Deep experience working with Linux, especially in embedded and firmware-level contexts.
  • Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, WiFi, cellular, BLE) and strong debugging abilities.
  • Familiarity with robotic control systems and protocols is a plus.
