We're looking for a self-driven engineer who's passionate about building the future of autonomous delivery What you'll be doing Develop and improve robotics middleware components and application frameworks. Work closely with other software teams who are using our robot platform to identify inefficiencies and create solutions to increase productivity. Design and implement systems for measuring software performance. Develop, build, and test systems that accelerate the teams development. Support integration of new hardware components. What makes you a strong fit 5 years experience developing production C++ code (C++14 and newer preferred). Experience developing real-time systems. Experience with performance optimization of embedded software. Track record of taking vaguely defined problems and converting them into robust production solutions. What makes you stand out Experience in robotics or autonomous vehicle development. Experience building distributed systems and familiarity with serialization formats such as Protocol Buffers, FlatBuffers, or Cap'n Proto Experience with build systems like Bazel. Prior experience working with sensors like cameras and Lidar. Strong knowledge of Linux, including kernel internals, scheduling, resource management, and IPC mechanisms. Experience with communication interfaces including UART, I2C, CAN, Ethernet, and MIPI CSI-2 About Serve Robotics Over 40% of restaurant deliveries in the US are within 30 minutes walking distance, yet 90% of the time, we are moving two-pound burritos with two-ton cars We are reimagining how things move in cities. Our personable sidewalk delivery robot, Serve, is a small, low-speed self-driving vehicle that's designed to take deliveries away from congested streets to save energy and reduce emissions, while making deliveries faster and cheaper. Having completed thousands of commercial deliveries for Postmates (now Uber) in Los Angeles and San Francisco, we recently spun out with backing from top tier investors to grow faster and target the entire sidewalk delivery market. Our commercial agreement with Uber provides us unlimited access to delivery jobs—and thus revenue. We are proud to be an equal employment opportunity and affirmative action employer. Qualified applicants are considered without regards to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
