Robotics Software Engineer (Senior) - Rust

Job description

mimic is an early-stage deep tech robotics & AI start-up based in Zurich and supported by leading VCs. We give industry workers a helping hand for tedious manual labour tasks and mitigate labour shortages with a versatile automation platform. Our automation solutions, driven by dexterous robotic hands and cutting-edge AI trained on human observations, bring a new level of AI embodiment to the real world. As a Robotics Software Engineer, you’ll engineer the low-latency, high-throughput systems that host our manipulation models. You’ll make sure our physical AI runs flawlessly in production, optimizing every layer - from networking to camera pipelines. You’ll collaborate closely with researchers, robotics/firmware engineers, and robotics operators to build a custom middleware stack that is second to none. Responsibilities: - Real-Time Pipelines : Engineer low-latency, high-reliability sensor, actuator, and video streaming pipelines across Linux, drivers, and middleware, ensuring strict frame timing and packet scheduling. - System Performance : Profile and optimize across compute, I/O, memory, scheduling, networking, and storage to meet real-time constraints and increase overall syste...
