Investigate emerging robotics technologies, evaluate product capabilities, and translate research findings into actionable insights that inform product strategy and development.
Responsibilities
Research emerging robotics technologies, industrial automation solutions, and advancements in robot perception, motion planning, manipulation, and autonomous operation.
Evaluate industry trends, competitive products, market developments, and customer needs to identify opportunities for product innovation and differentiation.
Analyze customer workflows, operational challenges, and automation requirements to identify unmet needs and potential product enhancements.
Design and conduct technical evaluations, proof-of-concept studies, experiments, and product feasibility assessments.
Collect, analyze, and interpret research data, performance metrics, test results, and customer feedback to support evidence-based product decisions.
We are looking for a Software Lead who leads by example, writing production code every day and setting the bar for how software gets built at an AI-native surgical robotics company. You'll own the software that ties our system together, from embedded firmware to real-time services to the interfaces physicians use at the table.
Responsibilities
Hands-on development: Write production code across firmware, real-time services, and clinician-facing apps, taking on the hardest and highest-risk parts yourself.
System architecture: Architect software that scales with Mosaic's ambitions, bringing perception and machine learning models into a real-time, safety-critical robotic system.
Lab-to-fix loop: Debug issues from the bench and preclinical studies through root cause to verified fix, so each study improves the next.
AI-native development: Define how we use agentic development in a regulated industry to improve both quality and speed.
Engineering standards: Own branching, CI/CD, automated testing, and releases. Review code daily and hold a high bar for readability, test coverage, and defensive design.
The Senior Perception Software Engineer owns key components of Cyngn’s autonomy perception stack, leading the design, development, and deployment of object detection, tracking, and sensor fusion algorithms.
Responsibilities
Lead the design, implementation, and deployment of object detection, tracking, and sensor fusion algorithms for autonomous vehicles, from research through production.
Own the architecture and technical direction of assigned perception subsystems, making sound trade-offs among accuracy, latency, compute, and robustness.
Define perception performance metrics and evaluation frameworks, and drive the tooling and infrastructure for continuous testing, performance validation, and system diagnostics.
Build and curate ground-truth and regression datasets that enable automated backtesting of perception changes.
Lead testing and deployment of production software in simulation environments and on production vehicles, driving root-cause analysis and resolution of perception failures.
In this entry-level role, you will help design, develop, prototype, and qualify automated manufacturing processes that produce launch vehicle hardware. You will build industrial robot-based process-qualification cells, run Design of Experiments on production alloys.
