Research Engineer
At XDOF, we’re at an inflection point. Frontier labs are racing to build general-purpose robots, and high-quality training data is the bottleneck. We’re building the foundation behind the foundation models – the data collection systems, operational capability, exabyte-scale data warehouse, and software toolchain – to help our partners drive the field forward.
Our research teams move fast and produce breakthrough work, but research code and production code are different things. We’re looking for a Research Engineer to bridge that gap: someone who can read a research prototype, understand it deeply, and turn it into something that runs reliably at scale on real hardware. You can expect to float across teams to wherever the highest-priority needs are, across perception, ML, and data infrastructure.
3+ years of industry experience in software engineering with a focus on systems, performance, or production ML strong C++ proficiency, including modern C++ (C++17/20), memory management, and performance-conscious coding patterns
CUDA programming experience: ability to write, profile, and debug GPU kernels experience with CPU performance optimization: profiling, cache behavior, SIMD, latency reduction proficiency with Python and familiarity with ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow) at the level needed to read and modify research code comfort with Linux systems, including build systems, debugging tools, and containerization
have taken research or prototype code and shipped it in a production system have worked on real-time or embedded systems where latency and resource constraints matter have experience with perception, computer vision, or robotics systems have optimized model inference for deployment (TensorRT, ONNX Runtime, or similar) understand the full lifecycle from research notebook to containerized, monitored production service are very comfortable working in 0→1 environments are mission-driven and passionate about robotics: work at XDOF is
fast-paced and constant. We hope you love what you’re going to be doing, because you’ll be doing a lot of it!
