🎯 Role Details

Develop Linux-based real-time software services for robotic sensing, actuation, and control coordination
Integrate and maintain low-level drivers and kernel modules for sensors, actuators, and high-speed communication interfaces
Optimize system performance via scheduler tuning, CPU isolation, IRQ affinity, memory locking, and I/O optimization
Design and implement low-latency IPC pipelines connecting AI, perception, and hardware control components
Build and maintain distributed robotics infrastructure including logging, monitoring, diagnostics, and fault handling
Develop hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing frameworks and CI tools for embedded and robotic systems
Collaborate closely with firmware, controls, mechanical, and AI teams to deliver end-to-end robotic capabilities
Contribute to middleware and runtime systems handling high-rate, multi-modal data in dexterous robotic hands
