Job Description

Teleoperation Software Engineer

We're seeking a Teleoperation Software Engineer to build the real-time systems that let humans operate robots across the globe with precision and reliability. You’ll architect low-latency control and video pipelines that support high-bandwidth streaming, real-time command feedback loops, and intuitive operator interfaces. Your work will bridge control theory, network optimization, and multimedia streaming into seamless telepresence experiences.

What you'll do

  • Develop and optimize real-time teleop control loops for robotic systems over unstable networks
  • Design resilient, low-latency video pipelines for multi-camera HD streaming using WebRTC, RTSP, or custom protocols
  • Architect systems that synchronize joystick/tactile input with robot actuation under strict timing constraints
  • Implement fallback behaviors and predictive smoothing to ensure safe operation in lossy conditions
  • Collaborate with UI and fleet teams to build intuitive, responsive control stations for operators
  • Integrate networking stacks that support multiplexed video, telemetry, and control over WebSockets or QUIC

What you bring

  • Deep understanding of control systems, real-time feedback loops, and signal filtering
  • Experience working with video encoding, decoding, and streaming protocols (WebRTC, H.264, VP9, RTSP)
  • Proficiency in designing low-latency networked systems in C++, Rust, or Go
  • Familiarity with operator-centric interfaces (e.g., gamepad input, ROS teleop, or custom web UIs)
  • Strong debugging skills across network layers, timing issues, and stream synchronization
  • Bonus: Experience with ROS, Unreal/Unity integrations, or remote driving of mobile robots

Additional Notes

  • Our team develops on physical robots in person
  • Need to be located or willing to relocate in San Francisco, CA
