Robotics Software Engineer

ThoughtForge AI develops robotic systems powered by Active Inference to help robots learn resilient skills and adapt to situations. The Robotics Software Engineer will build software for robotic arm systems across simulation and real hardware, prototype and harden solutions, and develop tests and metrics to measure performance and prevent regressions.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and maintain software that runs in both simulation and on real hardware
• Prototype fast to prove out ideas, then do the less glamorous half: hardening what works into systems that deploy and stay up
• Measure what the robot actually does: build the tests and metrics that catch regressions and close the gap between sim and reality

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Engineering
• 4+ years of relevant industry experience
• Domain knowledge of robotics such as Dynamics, Controls, Planning, Estimation, and Computer Vision
• Proficiency in Python
• Experience with C++, Git, ROS/ROS2, and Simulators (Mujoco, Gazebo, etc.)
• Documentation and Communication Skills
• Real-time software & multithreaded systems
• 3D math, linear algebra, embedded systems, signal processing
• Interest in Active Inference or Machine Learning
