Do you want to be part of building the next generation of robots and see those robots out in the real world automating dangerous, monotonous tasks? If so, consider joining us at PickNik as a Senior Software Engineer.

PickNik Robotics is the company behind MoveIt Pro, a software platform that combines AI and advanced motion planning to make robots work in the real world. We're focused on pushing the boundaries of robotics — and showing what’s possible when robots are powered by great software. PickNik has taken our learnings from the past 10 years - working with Google, Amazon, Samsung, BMW, Lockheed Martin, NASA, and many startups - and distilled that knowledge into MoveIt Pro. Join us in helping companies deploy AI to robots fast and effectively, opening up new possibilities only limited by our customer’s imagination.

As a Senior Software Engineer at PickNik Robotics, you will help lead scoping, design, and development of scalable improvements to the MoveIt Pro platform. This role is focused on product development - creating software that will be used on robots around the world (and in outer space!). It requires both a strategic mindset to design singular solutions that fulfill multiple use cases and also great forethought into edge cases that should be anticipated and tested before entering production. Our development is driven by users in dozens of industries with robots spread across prototype, pilot, and production environments.

Am I a good fit?

• You love robotics and have a passion for creating the next generation of robot software.
• Are excited to be part of a team of robotics experts.
• Should work efficiently, be ready to learn, and have great attention to detail.
• Desire to contribute to closed and open source projects solving big problems.
• Ability to collaborate with teams around the world.

REQUIREMENTS

• Driven to ship reliable software used in production settings to solve hard problems robotics have never done before.
• Flexibility across a number of tasks beyond developing code, such as debugging performance, pair programming on multidisciplinary regressions, testing CUDA compatibility, and investigating user pain points.
• Minimum 6 years of professional work experience.
• Extensive knowledge of C++17 or newer.
• Extensive knowledge of software development in Linux.
• Experience with ROS 2.
• Experience with full life-cycle library and application development, Git version control, software testing, and continuous integration.
• Be able to travel approximately every other month to customer sites & conferences. Less than 20% of the time.
• Live in the Boulder/Denver area and have the ability to be in-office at least 3 days per week.
• Degree(s) in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related field and/or equivalent industry experience.

Some preferred skills/experience

• Experience shipping and maintaining a software+hardware solution in production.
• Knowledge of processes to measure and tune communication middleware.
• Previous projects involving MoveIt, Nav2, Mujoco, or other robotic libraries.
• General understanding of graph theory, algorithm design, simulation, motion planning, inverse kinematics, and/or control systems.
• Demonstrated industry ability to deliver complex projects
