C++ / CUDA Systems Engineer — Real-Time Robotics

Malibu or Santa Monica

$140,000 to $160,000

You will be working on a next-generation, image-guided robotic platform operating in a real-time environment where latency, precision, and reliability are critical.

We’re looking for an engineer who enjoys working close to the metal: building high-performance systems that coordinate compute, perception, and hardware in a tightly constrained setting.

What you’ll work on

  • Designing and optimizing multi-threaded C++ pipelines for real-time image processing and model inference
  • Building and managing GPU-accelerated workflows using CUDA
  • Coordinating workloads across CPU and GPU to meet strict latency and throughput requirements
  • Integrating hardware components such as cameras, sensors, and motion systems into a cohesive runtime
  • Developing system-level interfaces (APIs, IPC, messaging) to connect distributed components
  • Creating tooling for profiling, debugging, and observability in performance-critical environments
  • Supporting simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing

What we’re looking for

  • Strong experience with modern C++ (C++17/20), including concurrency and memory management
  • Hands-on experience with CUDA or GPU-accelerated systems
  • Experience working in real-time, embedded, or latency-sensitive environments
  • A track record of building production-grade systems
  • Familiarity with performance profiling and debugging tools

Nice to have

  • Experience with ML inference frameworks (e.g., TensorRT, ONNX Runtime)
  • Exposure to robotics, medical devices, or other safety-critical systems
  • Experience integrating and debugging physical hardware
  • Familiarity with IPC mechanisms such as shared memory or DDS

Why this role

  • Work on systems where correctness, performance, and reliability are non-negotiable
  • Solve complex, real-world problems at the intersection of software and hardware
  • Collaborate with a highly technical, cross-disciplinary team
  • Shape core infrastructure in a system being built from the ground up
