You will work at the intersection of robotics, embedded systems/software, and applied AI, enabling intelligent perception and decision-making on drones and edge-server platforms.

This is a full-time position with expected in-person commitment in Calgary, Alberta.

Roles and Responsibilities

Implement and optimize robot perception and sensor processing algorithms (vision, radar, acoustic, etc.) on embedded platforms
Deploy and optimize machine learning models for on-device inference in robotic systems
Design and develop real-time data pipelines including data capture, processing and transmission for sensing and navigation
Interface with embedded hardware, sensors, firmware, and low-level drivers to optimize system performance
Integrate processing with flight control systems and protocols for data streaming
Support robotic system integration, field testing, and validation in real-world environments
Debug and troubleshoot system-level issues across hardware, software, and sensor pipelines
Collaborate with cross-functional team members to meet customer requirements
Contribute to technical documentation, code reviews, and system design discussions

Required Education

BSc in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Software/Mechanical Engineering or Robotics related field.

Required Experience

Minimum 1+ year experience developing software in C/C++ on Linux or embedded systems

Understanding of performance optimization
Familiarity with cross-compilation and embedded toolchains
Experience with Git, Docker and Linux development workflows

Assets (Nice to Have)

Experience with PX4, Ardupilot, MAVLink, and the drone software ecosystem
Experience with robotics frameworks (ROS or equivalent), edge platforms (NVIDIA Jetson, ARM, FPGA, or similar) or real-world robotic deployments
Experience with multi-sensor fusion or edge-AI deployment
Familiarity with network protocols or streaming (TCP/UDP, RTSP, gRPC, cloud processing) and data encoding

Skills Required

Strong problem-solving mindset and ability to work on complex, real-world systems
Self-driven with the ability to operate with minimal supervision in a fast-paced environment
Strong programming skills in C/C++ and Linux-based development environments
Understanding of embedded systems and hardware-software integration
Ability to work across disciplines (AI, embedded, robotics)

Pay: $60,000.00-$100,000.00 per year

Benefits

Casual dress
On-site parking
Paid time off
