Job description

Responsibilities

• Own and improve the end‑to‑end path for deploying Warp‑based robotics and simulation components onto embedded platforms such as Jetson.
• Build and maintain reproducible deployment workflows including cross‑compilation, CI, packaging, and containerized delivery for embedded robotics targets.
• Optimize on‑device performance under real constraints including latency, throughput, memory footprint, thermals, and power.
• Debug complex issues across the stack spanning Python, C++, CUDA, drivers, and embedded Linux, including hard‑to‑reproduce device‑specific failures.
• Integrate Warp components into robotics applications and frameworks, including ROS2 and Isaac‑based stacks, and work with partner teams to unblock adoption.
• Develop system‑level testing, validation, and performance regression infrastructure for embedded targets.
• Collaborate with compiler, runtime, and kernel engineers to improve portability and performance across GPU architectures and embedded configurations.

Qualifications

• B.Sc., M.Sc., Ph.D. or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Applied Math, Physics, or a related field.
• Eight or more years of software engineering experience with C++ and Python, comfortable across build systems and deployment tooling.
• Experience shipping software to embedded or edge devices, ideally in robotics, autonomy, or real‑time systems.
• Practical understanding of Linux‑based deployment workflows including packaging, dependencies, drivers, and debugging in constrained environments.
• Ability to reason about GPU performance and memory behavior, diagnosing bottlenecks using profiling and system tools.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with a bias toward execution and unblocking users.
