Software Engineer (Jetson)

Location: Shanghai, China; on-site

Company

Developing AI-first humanoid robots that combine perception, reasoning, and dexterous manipulation into autonomous systems, with an engineering center in China focused on bringing a full-size humanoid platform to production.

What you will do

• Architect and develop high-performance applications and middleware for NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin and Thor platforms.
• Design deterministic, low-latency multithreaded pipelines targeting sub-millisecond control loops.
• Build zero-copy video and sensor ingestion and preprocessing pipelines using CUDA, TensorRT, VPI, and NvMedia.
• Integrate PCIe, 10GbE, SocketCAN/CAN-FD, USB 3.2, SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, and MIPI-CSI2 interfaces for sensor and actuator telemetry.
• Develop health monitoring, watchdogs, thermal and power throttling, crash recovery, containerized CI/CD environments, and secure OTA firmware updates.
• Profile systems, investigate memory leaks and thread contention, and optimize CPU-GPU memory transfers with AI, perception, control, and hardware infrastructure teams.

Requirements

• B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 5+ years of software development experience on ARM/Linux edge platforms, specifically NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier or Orin modules.
• Proficiency in Modern C++ 17/20 and Python, with strong Linux system and application programming skills.
• Solid experience with JetPack SDK, CUDA, TensorRT, VPI, and Linux user-space application development tools.
• Hands-on experience with PREEMPT_RT real-time Linux, POSIX multithreading, shared-memory IPC, and low-latency socket programming.
• Deep knowledge of PCIe, Ethernet, CAN-FD, MIPI-CSI2, SPI, I2C, and UART hardware interfaces.
