Job Description
Your Mission
We're building general-purpose humanoid robots with super-human dexterity and a real understanding of the physical world. None of it moves without the firmware and middleware that tie every joint, sensor, and actuator together - safely, in real time. That's the layer you'd work on, and it sits at the center of everything we build .
Key Responsibilities
We're building general-purpose humanoid robots with super-human dexterity and a real understanding of the physical world. None of it moves without the firmware and middleware that tie every joint, sensor, and actuator together - safely, in real time. That's the layer you'd work on, and it sits at the center of everything we build .
Key Responsibilities
- Build the middleware layers that let every joint, sensor, and actuator talk reliably in a humanoid robot.
- Design real-time communication protocols and bus architectures that scale to dozens (or hundreds) of distributed controllers.
- Implement safety-critical checks, redundancy mechanisms, and watchdog systems to keep robots safe under load.
- Optimize for low-latency, high-throughput communication between the perception, control, and hardware layers.
- Collaborate with the control, hardware, and AI teams to keep information flowing seamlessly from firmware up to high-level behaviors and UX interfaces.
-
Prototype quickly, debug ruthlessly, and iterate until the robot moves with confidence and reliability.
- Expertise in C/C+, Python, ROS2, RT-Linux (bonus: Zenoh, Rust,, as well as CAN, EtherCAT, or similar real-time communication stacks).
- Comfort at the intersection of hardware and software: debugging signals, oscilloscopes, and low-level protocols as needed.
- Experience designing reliable communication systems under tight latency constraints – as we push for superhuman control, we will also need the next level of reliable and rapid communication.
-
An ownership mindset: able to take a critical subsystem and push it from prototype to production.
- Safety systems, motor-control firmware, or humanoid-scale robotic platforms.
-
Strong background in embedded systems, firmware development, or middleware for distributed robotics systems.
