Robotics Software Engineer: Edge Inference & Teleoperation

Efference

We are seeking an experienced Robotics Software Engineer focused on embodied AI and bridging the gap between perception models and physical robotic hardware. This role blends teleoperation pipelines, on- and off-device inference, and hands-on lab experimentation to prove out our technology. Requirements Experience writing software for physical robotic systems. System-level understanding of hardware-software integration and robotic kinematics. A strong focus on delivery, with a track record of deploying working solutions on physical robots. Strong C/C++ and Python development skills. Comfortable working hands-on with hardware in a lab environment. Responsibilities Build and maintain the software stack for our internal fleet of test robots. Deploy and test model inference pipelines directly on the edge hardware. Integrate teleoperation workflows and optimize end-to-end control latency. Collaborate with the hardware team to mount, wire, and test new device iterations. Debug complex system-level failures to ensure reliable and safe robotic behavior. Nice to Have Experience with VR/AR interfaces for teleoperation. Familiarity with simulation environments (Isaac Sim, Gazebo). Knowledge of standard robotic actuators and motor controllers. #J-18808-Ljbffr Efference
