Job summary

TAR is hiring a Software Engineer on the robotics team to own software that enables autonomous machines. You will work on middleware, perception, localization, planning, and control on hardware at our San Francisco facility, with field deployment as needed.

The role emphasizes end-to-end software ownership, from development to field validation, across an off-grid robotics platform for data centers.

Qualifications

Experience building software for robotic or autonomous systems.
Shipped production robotics software on real deployed hardware.
Expertise across the autonomy stack from prototypes to production code (C/C++/Rust).
Experience building for real-time and resource-constrained environments.
Ability to take a system from architecture through field deployment.
High ownership, bias for speed, and comfort with ambiguity.

Responsibilities

Write autonomy-stack software for prototype and production robots: perception, state estimation, localization, motion planning, and controls.
Implement task and motion planning with centimeter tolerances at construction pace.
Build the fleet layer: task allocation, coordination, and deconfliction across multiple machines on site.
Stand up simulation and CI; build logging, telemetry, and data pipelines for debugging.
Develop operator-facing tooling for teleoperation, supervision, and diagnostics.
Ship software that runs offline and degrades gracefully at remote sites with limited connectivity.
