Embedded Systems Engineer, iOS

About Us
Are you ready to build the future of supply chain? At Gather AI, we're not just creating software; we're pioneering a new era of warehouse intelligence. We've developed a groundbreaking, vision-powered platform that uses autonomous drones and existing equipment to capture real-time data, completely digitizing workflows that have historically been manual and error-prone. This means facilities operate smarter, safer, and more efficiently, ultimately redefining "on-time, in full" delivery.

If you're looking for an opportunity to contribute to truly transformative technology and make a significant impact in a vital industry, Gather AI is the place for you. We're leading the charge in the rapidly evolving robotics industry, and we invite you to join us in reshaping the global supply chain, one intelligent warehouse at a time.

About You
We're looking for a forward-thinking engineer to help build cutting-edge interfaces on mobile (iOS and, eventually, Android) edge-compute devices used in warehouse environments. You'll take on the challenge of enabling seamless coordination between human operators and autonomous/AI-driven systems.

The ideal candidate has experience architecting and implementing embedded iOS applications with complex logic or workflows, and is looking to design interactive applications that fuse information from human operators with ML/computer vision informed feedback about the real world. You should be comfortable working with computer networking and have experience—or a strong interest—in complex multi-agent or multi-actor systems. Think of it like designing a multiplayer video game, where your application integrates inputs from various sources (e.g., cameras, forklift operators, ML/computer vision pipelines, and real-time localization systems) to infer the current state of the forklift and guide the operator toward the next best action.

What You'll Do

• Develop major architectural improvements to our iOS-based autonomous drone control application, including debugging and potentially working with the drone's core software.
• Contribute major features to the application (including UI/UX) of our Material Handling Equipment (MHE) Vision platform - this application gathers insights from cameras, an ML inference engine, and an iPad application mounted locally on forklifts and guides operators to take the right action based on what we are seeing/observing in the world.
• Assist with build and test automation, such as by introducing tools to streamline remote development and debugging (for yourself and the team).
• Build great tools that verify the proper function of complex, multi-agent/multi-actor systems.
• Determine application project priorities and mentor other engineers; lead a team of engineers as we grow.

What You'll Need

• An ability and desire to distill complex problems into simpler core concepts.
• BS in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent technical experience.
• Proficiency in Objective-C and Swift, and comfort with C++, as our dual-platform application incorporates C++ logic that powers our drones.
• At least 5 years of experience in developing embedded mobile applications (e.g., iOS, C++) or related technologies.
• Ability to leverage the latest AI/LLM technologies to accelerate development.
• Exposure to embedded/application ecosystems (Linux, iOS, Android).
• Solid networking and multi-threading experience - good architectural intuition.

Bonus points for...

• Prior experience in a startup or small, fast-paced company environment.
• Experience building cross-platform (iOS and Android) applications, e.g. by using React Native.
• Experience or interest in developing CPU-constrained, soft real-time applications (e.g., video games).
• Familiarity with frameworks and technologies like MQTT, automotive/embedded interfaces, and ROS.
• Experience with cloud system interactions, external APIs, local application storage, and other features common in iOS or embedded applications.
• A passion for robotics or other real-time multi-agent technologies, and the unique challenges found in this space.

Compensation And Benefits

• Compensation package will include equity
• Comprehensive health insurance
• Very flexible schedule
• Customized PTO
• Relocation assistance available
