What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Software Engineer, Pilots position at Hayden AI?
About Us
At Hayden AI, we are on a mission to harness the power of computer vision to transform the way transit systems and other government agencies address real-world challenges.
From bus lane and bus stop enforcement to transportation optimization technologies and beyond, our innovative mobile perception system empowers our clients to accelerate transit, enhance street safety, and drive toward a sustainable future.
Job Summary
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Pilots team within the Perception organization, you will be responsible for developing prototypes for forthcoming pilots, aligning with Hayden’s mission and long-term roadmap for business expansion.
This team investigates novel use cases, vehicles, and deployment environments, expeditiously translating preliminary concepts into functional prototypes. You will construct comprehensive end-to-end perception and robotics systems designed to operate on real-world hardware and capable of scaling into Hayden’s core product platform.
This is a C software engineering generalist position emphasizing robotics and systems expertise. You will function with a substantial degree of ownership, navigating complexity to meticulously design, implement, and fortify solutions that judiciously balance rapid experimentation with sustained maintainability.

Key Responsibilities:
- Deliver robust, thoroughly tested, and maintainable C code tailored for edge and robotics platforms.
- Design, implement, and take ownership of prototype perception systems with the potential to transition into production-grade solutions.
- Construct and iteratively refine real-time perception pipelines, encompassing detection, tracking, and sensor fusion methodologies.
- Adapt, refine, and integrate Machine Learning (ML) and Computer Vision (CV) models, including leveraging open-source solutions, for novel, Hayden-specific applications.
- Drive technical decision-making in ambiguous problem spaces, effectively balancing the speed required for prototyping with the requirements for production readiness.
- Collaborate closely with the Product team and cross-functional Engineering departments.
- Contribute to shared infrastructure, tooling, and architectural patterns as pilot initiatives mature into foundational products.
- Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a closely related discipline. A PhD is considered advantageous.
- 5-8 years of relevant experience in building and deploying perception systems; experience in automotive or robotics domains is a plus.
- Substantial background in a minimum of one of the following domains: robotics, state estimation, computer vision, or applied machine learning.
- Senior-level industrial experience in the delivery of intricate, production-grade software systems.
- Demonstrated proficiency in modern C , coupled with experience in real-time systems.
- Experience in the construction and ownership of end-to-end systems, rather than merely isolated components.
- Capability to operate effectively in ambiguous and rapidly evolving environments.
- Proven capacity to collaborate constructively within a developing engineering organization.
