Requirements

2–4+ years of professional software engineering experience
Strong production experience with: Python (backend services, APIs, data workflows)
Strong production experience with: TypeScript or JavaScript (frontend)

Support “physical AI” workflows by connecting cloud software to autonomy/robotics systems—telemetry pipelines, command-and-control surfaces, and operational tooling that interacts with vehicles in the real world
Use modern AI tools and agents to move faster and raise quality (and help build customer-facing copilot experiences where it makes sense)
Contribute to digital-twin simulation + validation loops (where applicable): support workflows that use simulation to test behaviors, validate releases, and reproduce field issues
Raise engineering quality through testing, code reviews, observability, and pragmatic reliability/performance improvements
Own meaningful chunks of the product: shape solutions, make tradeoffs, and drive work to completion.
