Senior Robotics Software Engineer

We understand that general purpose and generally intelligent robots are going to be built in our lifetimes. Not content to sit on the sidelines, we work efficiently towards this goal by combining human and artificial intelligence into something greater than the sum of its parts- a Tutor Intelligence.
We enable anyone to teach robots complicated vision and manipulation skills. Our robots observe, copy, adapt, and improve on what we show them. They are the students, we are the Tutors.
The robot problems we tackle range from the classical to the unsolved. We solve problems in planning, computer vision, SLAM, optimization, machine learning, and more.
If this sounds like you, read on!
Across the board we write software to make our robots more capable, faster and safer. We work mostly in Python and Linux.
What follows is a list of things we find interesting. Depending on your passions, your role might fit one or all of the following.

Robot Vision

• Improving 2D and 3D sensing capabilities

Robot Motion

• Control of robot arms
• Planning motion in the presence of obstacles
• Optimizing grasps and other basic manipulation primitives
• Motion planning
• Tools such as Drake, OMPL, KLAMPT, etc
• Multi roboti planning
• Reinforcement learning

Robot Software

• Proficiency programming in a Python-Linux environment
• Comfort with programming linters (Flake8, Mypy)
• Software support of real-time systems
• Visualization of robot data
• Advanced command of Python (dunder methods, lambdas, exception handling, decorators)

Robot Hardware
