* Develop vision and sensor-integration software that feeds downstream planning and control stacks
* Optimize software for performance, reliability, and deterministic behavior where required
* Write high-quality, testable Python code with strong emphasis on readability, correctness, and maintainability
* Own software engineering best practices: code reviews, testing strategies, CI/CD, and release processes
* Build simulation, testing, and tooling infrastructure to validate behavior prior to deployment
* Collaborate with robotics, controls, and hardware engineers to translate system requirements into well-defined software abstractions
* Contribute to architectural decisions as the software platform scales across customers and deployments
### Minimum Qualifications
