[Note: we are currently fully staffed for this role, but expect to be hiring for additional team members in the near future. So, we likely won't review/respond quickly, but we WILL look here first when we crank up the hiring machine again.]
Dapster is looking for a
Lead Robotics Software Engineer to join our small-but-powerful team. This is an impact opportunity -- we're very much still an early-stage startup, and you will be working on our foundational technology and products.
What will you do? Broad ownership of development and refinement of key Dapster robot functionality (we can go into much more detail live).
What are we looking for?- Excellent C/C++ and Python programming skills in a Linux environment.
- Deep understanding of motion planning and navigation algorithms and libraries like MoveIt! and nav_stack.
- Familiarity with OpenCV or similar computer vision libraries.
- A strong academic and work record (e.g. BS EE/ME/Robotics with 5+ years of experience or MS EE/ME/Robotics with 3+ years of experience) or commensurate work experience
Other nice-to-have's:- Prototyping skills.
- Familiarity with simulation packages like IsaacSim.
- Experience as part of the development team for at least 1 full version of a shipping robot.
Dapster is a remote-friendly, hybrid workplace. We maintain a development lab in Palo Alto, CA, and occasionally travel to client sites (mainly Phoenix, AZ). Roles requiring interaction with our physical robots likely entail more in-office work than not. Other roles can be structured to your preferences.
