Software Engineer, XR , Fauna

DESCRIPTION

---------------

We are seeking a Software Engineer to contribute to the development of XR applications for teleoperating Fauna robots. You will work at the intersection of XR engineering and real-time robotics, writing the code that drives the backend of our XR application, from full-body pose projection, operator calibration and telemetry, to the performance and optimization that keeps the teleoperator and the robot in sync. Your decisions will directly shape how operators and data collectors experience the robot from inside the headset. You will design for the extremes—ensuring a flawless, low-latency experience despite unpredictable real-world network conditions, and implement improvements to tracking, robot communication, and ergonomic and UX challenges characteristic to prolonged XR wear.

Key job responsibilities

* Develop and maintain our Meta Quest applications built in Unity for XR teleoperation and data collection

* Write production-quality C# in an event-driven, well-structured Unity codebase, using the Meta XR SDK for full-body tracking and interaction

* Own the live connection between the headset and the robot: real-time pose streams, telemetry and command channels, and audio/video links — debug, harden, and extend these network interfaces as the system evolves

* Maintain and improve our pose projection pipeline, calibration flow, and state-aware input system so operators can drive the robot reliably with optimal ergonomic comfort and strict operational safety guardrails

* Build functional in-headset interfaces and HUDs for teleoperators and data collectors — accessing telemetry data, using menus while teleoperating the robot, managing recording sessions, and intervening during autonomy without leaving XR

* Iterate on operator-facing flows in Unity Editor, including audio-visual guidance from a virtual robot companion that walks operators through calibration, teleoperation,...
