We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer / Systems Architect (C++) to build core systems and tools for our drones, 3D visualization software, and deep learning pipeline. In this role, you’ll collaborate with a cross-functional robotics team to create software that harvests images, computes at scale, and helps customers interact with dense 3D datasets. This is a generalist role that involves working with a variety of platforms and languages across different software environments. Your work will both make robots fly, and will turn data into actionable information for our customers.

• Architect robotic systems and image processing pipelines
• Design, develop, and test systems using C++ for execution on a variety of hardware targets
• Develop simulation environments
• Help develop remote monitoring, logging, and over-the-air update capabilities for hardware systems deployed around the world
• Profile and optimize existing code and systems
• Leverage industry and academic trends in robotics, computer graphics, and deep learning
• Demonstrate best practices for building shareable and scalable software components

What We Can Offer:

• At PRENAV, we’ve assembled one of the top robotics teams in the world, solving challenging problems in aerial robotics, computer vision, 3D imaging, and systems engineering.
• We have a collaborative and flexible work environment where everyone’s ideas are welcome and necessary to build our product.
• Our quirky work space is a converted warehouse in downtown Redwood City that includes a machine shop, a rock climbing wall and a fireplace
• We offer medical, dental and vision coverage, and pay 100% of the premium for our employees
