Senior Software Engineer - Applied Research in Robotics

Responsibilities

• Research and analyze end-to-end robotics software stacks to discover, characterize, and prioritize high-impact workloads that can be accelerated on PVA.
• Design, implement, test, and optimize PVA operators for robotics workloads, including end-to-end integration into real robotics pipelines.
• Research parallelization and data movement strategies for mapping robotics algorithms onto PVA efficiently!
• Work across camera, RADAR, LiDAR, IMU, perception, planning, and actuator paths to understand algorithmic requirements, memory behavior, timing constraints, and real-time execution needs.
• Build benchmarks, validation infrastructure, and technical mentorship for robotics teams adopting PVA acceleration!
• Collaborate with robotics, hardware architecture, compiler, system software, sensor, and platform teams to define acceleration strategies and interfaces.
• Support internal and external teams developing and optimizing robotics algorithms on PVA.
• Leverage modern AI-assisted development tools and agentic workflows to accelerate workload analysis, algorithm creation, benchmarking, and performance exploration.
• Write high-quality, maintainable C/C++ code, performance tests, user documentation, and validation infrastructure for robotics acceleration workflows.
