Senior Software Engineer – Sensor Perception (f/m/d)

Shape the future with us!

Your Role & Responsibilities

• Own the development of a high-performance perception platform powering humanoid robotic systems.
• Design and implement high-throughput, low-latency sensor pipelines in modern C++.
• Optimize GPU data paths using CUDA, including memory management, concurrency, and zero-copy techniques.
• Deploy and optimize perception workloads on embedded GPU platforms (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson).
• Translate state-of-the-art perception research into robust, production-ready systems.
• Integrate accelerated inference runtimes (e.g., TensorRT).
• Design clean and stable interfaces to downstream autonomy modules.
• Build pipelines for automated dataset generation, model training, and evaluation in collaboration with MLOps.
• Establish strong engineering practices, including automated CI testing, observability, and performance profiling.

Required Technical & Professional Expertise

• MSc or PhD in Computer Science or a related field.
• Expert-level C++ skills with strong systems fundamentals and at least 5 years of relevant experience.
• Experience building real-time, production-grade data pipelines.
• Strong understanding of GPU-accelerated systems, including efficient data movement, concurrency, and performance optimization with CUDA.
• Experience deploying software on embedded GPU platforms (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson).
• Experience with automated testing, validation, and benchmarking.
• Proven track record of bringing perception systems from research into reliable production deployments.
• Experience with frameworks such as ROS2, GStreamer, DeepStream, NVIDIA GXF/NITROS, or similar.
• Familiarity with synthetic data generation and simulation platforms (e.g., NVIDIA Isaac Sim) is a plus.
• Strong engineering judgment with the ability to balance deep technical work and pragmatic execution for high-impact results.
