What you'll do
- Develop and integrate real-time perception pipelines on embedded platforms such as the Jetson Nano NX
- Migrate legacy monolithic systems to ROS2, refactoring and modularizing components for better scalability and maintainability
- Enable and optimize image data access across native and containerized components (e.g., Dockerized ROS2 processes)
- Design and implement low-level camera and sensor drivers for real-time vision acquisition
- Collaborate with AI, controls, and hardware teams to ensure tight integration between perception and other onboard subsystems
- Profile and debug system performance under embedded constraints (compute, thermal, bandwidth), ensuring stability and robustness in field deployments
- Contribute to system-level architecture discussions with a focus on communication reliability and modularity
What we're looking for
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering or a related technical field
- Strong experience with ROS2, including real-world deployment and integration of perception modules
- Proficient in Python and C++ for embedded and robotics development
- Solid background in robotics, autonomous systems, embedded development, or aerospace applications
- Familiarity with embedded Linux platforms, particularly NVIDIA Jetson devices
- Experience integrating containerized processes (e.g., Docker) into onboard robotic systems
- Ability to navigate and coordinate between different frameworks (ROS2, legacy/custom codebases, third-party modules)
- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, especially in real-time or resource-constrained environments
- Effective communicator and team player in multidisciplinary engineering teams
- Self-driven, organized, and adaptable to fast-paced development cycles
- Willingness to travel occasionally for field testing and deployment
- Eligible to obtain and maintain the appropriate security clearance required for this position
