• Design algorithms to optimally distribute and break down orders into robot tasks while minimizing robot congestion.
• Develop multi‑robot simulation and 3D visualization software to accurately predict system behavior ahead of new customer launch and warehouse volume ramp‑up.
• Provide input on all aspects of product development from brainstorming to final delivery; challenge product requirements and ensure consistency across system behavior by thinking through second and third‑order effects of proposed changes.
• Analyze complex system behavior in production to derive key insights for validating feature impact, pre‑evaluating future feature development, and understanding performance bottlenecks.
• Own development of algorithms, software infrastructure, coding, testing infrastructure, CI, on‑call production support, and debugging on production incidents.
• Take full ownership of landing large feature initiatives with technical design creation, review, and delegation.
• Review code developed by other engineers and provide feedback to ensure best practices; uphold a high bar.
• Contribute to documentation or educational content and adapt based on product/program updates and user.
• Drive feature development and launch; manage the team's backlog, support sprint planning, and facilitate cross‑disciplinary hand‑offs.
• Mentor junior engineers and influence the overall technical roadmap for the team.
