Senior iOS Engineer

Mountain View, CA

Who We Are:

Dusty Robotics is the leading solution to ensure design integrity in the field through automated layout and a streamlined BIM-to-field process. Dusty delivers a combination of hardware, software, and services that fit seamlessly into existing construction work processes by printing digital models directly on the jobsite floor with 1/16" accuracy based directly on Revit or AutoCAD models. Dusty has enabled contractors to print over 100 million square feet of layout across thousands of buildings and is trusted by leading general contractors such as DPR and Skanska as well as trade contractors in framing, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing.

Who You Are:

We are seeking a lead engineer for the team that will continue to build the iPad interface that construction crews use to operate the FieldPrinter. This is a sophisticated full-size tablet app that configures the layout, commands the robot, and visualizes the layout process on a canvas.

What You'll Do:

You'll leverage your extensive experience in mobile development to design a flexible application architecture that supports our long-term feature roadmap. You'll collaborate with engineers, product management and QA to ensure quality delivery of successive software releases. You'll also work with other engineering leads to integrate the mobile interface with our cloud applications and the robot’s onboard software. You’ll be a mentor and a source of wisdom within the company around mobile development.

Prior experience with robotics or construction is not required.

Requirements:

    • Extensive iOS Development Experience: Over 5 years of experience building sophisticated iOS applications with large, engaged user bases, ensuring performance, scalability, and exceptional user experiences.
    • Expert in Swift and iOS Ecosystem: Mastery of Swift programming, with a deep understanding of iOS frameworks, mobile graphics optimization, and performance tuning.
    • Strong Algorithm and Design Skills: Proficient in algorithm design, object-oriented programming, and functional programming principles, with a track record of developing efficient, elegant solutions.
    • Scalable Architecture Expertise: Skilled in creating scalable software architectures, robust interfaces, and developer tools that enable efficient team workflows and high-quality output.
    • Graphics and Rendering Proficiency: Hands-on experience with 2D/3D graphics frameworks such as SpriteKit, SceneKit, and Metal, delivering visually compelling and optimized graphical features.
    • Commitment to Code Quality: Produces maintainable, well-documented, and rigorously tested code, leveraging modern UI testing and unit testing practices.
    • Exceptional Communication Skills: Adept at simplifying and articulating complex technical concepts to diverse audiences, fostering collaboration across teams and stakeholders.
    • Continuous Learner: Driven by a growth mindset, actively exploring and integrating new tools, technologies, and methodologies to enhance development processes.
    • Educational Background: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience, with a strong foundation in software engineering principles.

Our Engineering Team:

We are a culture of do-ers who respect each others’ strengths, and work together to accomplish the impossible. We value open-mindedness, technical depth, passion for what we’re building, an itch to build something with your own two hands. We celebrate people who create their own narratives rather than living someone else’s.

Our engineering teams are guided by experienced leads who value clean design, elegant architecture and modern technologies. We are committed to quality and reliability. Our QA team supports our software efforts with rigorous testing. We all frequently visit construction sites to evaluate our product in operation.

We also provide mentorship in all areas of engineering to help you do your best work. In addition to day-to-day involvement with other experienced engineers, we host regular discussions on engineering topics. We reimburse fees for attending technology conferences. And we offer support in accessing whatever learning resources you find helpful.

A high-growth startup will accelerate the rate at which you gain experience compared with anywhere else. Dusty is very much in this phase of growth. Working here will provide you with a wealth of challenges and experiences that you'll carry forward long into your career.

Why You Should Join:

In joining our team, you’ll become an important part of a small and fast-growing company. We are daring to accomplish something big, do you want to be a critical part of Dusty's success? We are deeply committed to our mission, and we believe in removing roadblocks that distract us from reaching our goals.

To that end, we offer an unlimited vacation policy, a 401k with employer match, reasonable work hours, and flexible schedules. We know that our best work happens when we feel well-rested and capable of focusing all of our energy on making Dusty successful!

Strong, effective teams are composed of people with a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences who bring a variety of perspectives to their work. We actively encourage applications from a diverse pool, including those from historically under-represented groups such as women, people of color, people who identify LGBTQ, people with disabilities, and immigrants.

Our Code of Conduct:

Dusty Robotics exists to serve a wide variety of customers from all walks of life. We believe that our mission is best served in an environment that is friendly, safe, accepting, and free of intimidation or harassment. We do not tolerate abusive behavior.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
