Robotics Software Engineer - Atlas

As a Robotics Software Engineer on the Atlas team, you will work closely with a team of software, mechanical, and electrical engineers to develop and test new robot technologies for Atlas and other R&D efforts at Boston Dynamics. You will be delivering software that enables new capabilities for our robots, which will require a deep understanding of the relationship between hardware and low-level software.

Boston Dynamics is a world leader in mobile robots, tackling some of the toughest robotics challenges. For years, our awe-inspiring viral videos on YouTube have shown the world what remarkably capable robots can do. Now we are quickly becoming a recognized leader in automation solutions for industrial applications, logistics and warehouses.

Day to day activities:

• Design and write C++/Python software and tests for robot systems including Atlas

• Work with Mechanical and Electrical engineers to design and test new technologies

• Solve control problems (modeling, simulation, estimation, compensation) related to systems and joint-level control

• Develop and maintain test setups for experimental evaluation of technologies in different stages of design and production.

Required Skills:

• 3+ years of experience in modern programming (e.g. C++17, Python)

• Solid understanding of Linear and control systems theory

Desired Skills:

• Microcontroller firmware, e.g. STM32 and Field Oriented Control

• Realtime control systems, e.g. QNX, RT-linux

• Linux networking, e.g. CAN, Ethernet, PCIe

• Developer workflows, e.g. Bazel, Git, Jenkins
