The AI Institute
Senior Software Engineer
The AI Institute, Cambridge, Massachusetts, us, 02140
Our mission is to solve the most important and fundamental challenges in AI and Robotics, enabling future generations of intelligent machines that will help us all live better lives.
Our software engineers bring the depth and rigor of industry experience to the Institute, where a solid foundation of engineering is essential for groundbreaking research. If you have a passion for developing technology that advances the capabilities and usefulness of robots, we want you on our team! At our new Cambridge, MA office, we're building a collaborative and innovative organization, and we're looking for Senior Software Engineers to help lead the way.
Responsibilities
Algorithm Development:
Design, develop, and optimize high-performance algorithms to enhance robotic systems' capabilities and efficiencyLeadership & Mentorship:
Provide technical leadership, mentoring other engineers, and fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement within the teamSoftware Quality:
Promote code quality and reliability through regular code reviews and the adoption of best practicesCross-Functional Collaboration:
Work closely with researchers and other engineering teams to deliver cross-functional features and system capabilities that push the boundaries of roboticsHands On Development:
Take a hands-on approach to development, building and refining software systems to solve complex problems in robotics.Requirements
