gazebo jobs in San Diego

Senior Firmware Engineer responsible for developing and optimizing low-level embedded C++ software for avionics systems, flight controllers, and mission payloads. The role involves porting frameworks to new RTOSes and hardware platforms, creating BSPs and HALs, designing peripheral drivers (I2C, SPI, UART, ADC, wireless protocols), and conducting safety-critical testing including MISRA C compliance.…See more Requires 5+ years of embedded systems experience, strong Linux/Windows proficiency, Python/Bash scripting, and ability to diagnose cross-domain issues across electromechanical, software, networking, and RF subsystems.

Design and develop Qualcomm's in-house robotics simulation platform and AI infrastructure, integrating modern 3D engines, GPU-accelerated compute, and machine learning to enable robot policy training and validation. Build digital twins, synthetic data pipelines, and hardware-in-the-loop configurations that bridge simulation and real Qualcomm robotics hardware.…See more Partner with robotics researchers to iterate on simulation fidelity, sensor modeling, and continuous learning workflows that move algorithms from simulation to deployed robots. This role demands depth in robotics simulators (MuJoCo, Isaac Sim, Unreal/Unity), GPU programming (CUDA), reinforcement learning at scale, and AI infrastructure orchestration (Kubernetes, Argo Workflows).

Develop and optimize low-level embedded firmware in C++ for avionics systems, flight controllers, and mission payloads, focusing on performance, reliability, and safety-critical applications. Port frameworks and applications to new RTOSes and hardware platforms, create Board Support Packages (BSPs), adapt Hardware Abstraction Layers (HALs), and develop peripheral drivers for interfaces like I2C, SPI, UART, and ADC.…See more Conduct unit and integration testing including fault injection and MISRA C compliance checks, diagnose cross-domain issues across electromechanical, software, networking, and RF subsystems, and collaborate with hardware teams to validate firmware incorporating secure boot, watchdogs, and fault-tolerant designs. Requires 5+ years embedded systems development, U.S. citizenship, ability to obtain DoD security clearance, strong Linux/Windows proficiency, and expertise in Python, Bash, Shell, and C/C++.
