Senior Staff Software Engineer, Calibration

TL;DR

Senior Staff Software Engineer, Calibration (C++/Python): Designing and delivering end-to-end calibration systems for production humanoids, with an accent on calibration algorithms, fixtures, on-fixture software, and validation pipelines. Focus on establishing calibration data/metrics infrastructure, owning sensor and kinematic calibration across modalities, and coordinating deployment with sensor vendors and contract manufacturers.

Location: Remote (U.S.); hybrid option if commutable to Salem, OR, Pittsburgh, PA, or Fremont, CA offices

Salary: $218,000–$340,000 USD

Company

hirify.global deploys commercially operated humanoids and scales automation through reliable, repeatable robot calibration.

What you will do

• Design, implement, and deliver calibration systems end to end, including algorithms, fixtures, on-fixture software, data pipelines, validation, and operator workflow.
• Own calibration across perception sensors (RGB cameras, LiDAR, thermal imagers, etc.) and kinematic calibration, including coupling sensor extrinsics with arm and whole-body kinematics.
• Build the calibration data and metrics infrastructure: per-unit records, accuracy/drift metrics, traceability, and fleet-level monitoring.
• Deliver calibration fixture software, including operator-facing applications on Linux.
• Own in-field self-check and recalibration capabilities to maintain calibration validity over Digit’s service life.
• Coordinate with sensor vendors and contract manufacturers on deployment, documentation, operator training, and acceptance criteria; identify, hire, mentor, and develop engineers contributing to calibration.

Requirements

• Work authorization: current authorization to work in the United States
• 10+ years of practical experience calibrating complex robotic or sensor-rich systems in real production environments.
• Proven track record designing and delivering calibration systems end to end (algorithms, fixtures, on-fixture software, validation, operator workflow).
• Deep expertise across multiple sensor modalities and working knowledge of kinematic calibration and coupling sensor extrinsics to kinematics.
• Experience building data and metrics infrastructure that supports calibration at scale.
• Strong programming skills in C++ and Python; hands-on engineering in both lab and production environments.
