Do you get excited when your software actually interacts with the physical world? Are you ready to learn the new exciting world of smart robots?Do you feel tired of working in a big company?Would you like to cooperate with top professionals in our industry?
If your answers are mostly yes, then you should keep reading.
At Nomagic, we’re on a mission to teach robots the real world. We’re now looking for a Staff Software Engineer (Optimization), who’s ready to deep dive into the hard problems of physical manipulation (trying to match with software the millions of years of development leading to the human hand + eye) and share his software and robotics development and design expertise with our amazing team.

Offer essentials:

  • Play with robots every day
  • Salary: 30 000 - 40 000 gross UoP per month plus equity
  • Relocation package
  • Truly flexible working hours
  • No late evening calls - the entire team is based in Europe :)
  • English-speaking environment
  • Partly remote work is possible!

Here is why we love this job ourselves, and hope you will enjoy it too:

  • We build robots powered by AI
  • We already have them in production (this means being on call sometimes, but still!)
  • We test our code in unit tests, simulations and on real robots!
  • We’re still pretty small, so everyone has a direct impact on the final result
  • We have a very experienced engineering & management team from Google, early unicorns (Climate Corp...) & top robotics companies (ABB, Softbank Robotics, Dematic)
  • We combine world-class research with top-notch engineering and apply it to solve real problems

Some of the problems you may try to solve with us:

  • Smart placing, tetris-like space optimization algorithms for real products based on computer vision input
  • Use data to build heuristics, and generalization rules for handling different categories of items
  • Using computer vision methods to obtain useful objects' features in real time
  • Plan robot moves to maximize the precision of the optimization algorithm execution

What skills we’d like you to have:

  • 8+ years of experience in software development
  • Strong technical leadership skills & experience - 3+ years
  • Great problem-solving and proficiency in one of modern programming languages (we use Python and C++)
  • Experience in designing and testing complex, optimization algorithms
  • Experience with computational geometry
  • Fluent communication in English
  • Experience in solving 3D bin packing problems or with computer vision algorithms in general is a strong plus
  • Nice to have is experience with doing scientific research, applied science and combining ML-based solution with classical algorithms

What should you expect once you apply?

  • 30 minutes call with a Recruiter
  • 60 minutes Technical prescreen
