[About Company]

Softionics builds a vision-free near-field sensing layer for Physical AI, capturing space, time, and physical interaction data that vision-systems cannot. Our technology enables robots and smart devices to sense proximity, motion, and contact dynamics in real time. Softionics is a deep-tech startup developing non-contact sensing solutions based on proprietary electric field sensor technology, targeting robotics, wearables, and human-machine interaction applications. We are advancing from sensor circuit prototyping to full custom IC design.

[Job Responsibilities]

We are looking for a Robotics & Sensor Systems Software Engineer to build and operate the end-to-end data acquisition infrastructure — from reading raw electric field sensor data to synchronizing it with vision and robotic hand/arm systems. You will design the experimental environment that enables multimodal data collection for downstream ML model training.

• Design and implement a real-time DAQ (Data Acquisition) system for electric field sensors

• Build data ingestion, preprocessing, and storage pipelines

• Integrate software with robotic hand/arm platforms (ROS/ROS2 or custom drivers)

• Synchronize camera (vision) data with electric field sensor streams

• Construct experimental environments for multimodal data collection (sensor + robot + camera)

• Manage data quality: noise analysis, calibration, labeling workflows

• Develop automation scripts and experiment management tooling

• Define dataset format and delivery pipeline in collaboration with the ML team (Position 2B)

[Location] Bldg 35 Room 524-3, 1 Gwanak-ro, Gwanak-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea, 08826

[Job Type & Pay Range]

• Conversion Internship

• Negotiable based on experience and skill set

[Required Qualifications] 

• 3+ years of experience in Python-based data acquisition and real-time signal processing

• Hardware-software interface experience (serial/USB/SPI/I2C/Ethernet sensor or device control)

• Basic computer vision knowledge and OpenCV experience

• Familiarity with robotic systems (robot arm/hand) software

• Multithreaded / asynchronous programming for data synchronization

• Git-based version control and reproducible experiment practices

[Preferred Qualifications] 

• ROS / ROS2 robotics software development experience

• Direct DAQ board experience (NI DAQ, Arduino, STM32, etc.)

• Multimodal sensor fusion system development (IMU, cameras, capacitive/pressure sensors)

• Experience with MediaPipe, DepthAI, Intel RealSense, or similar vision systems

• C/C++ hardware driver or real-time control code writing experience

• B.S. or higher in EE, CS, or Robotics

[Benefits]

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience and skills

• Stock options (based on contribution and negotiation, Not Right Now)

• Flexible working hours (autonomous schedule)

• Generous paid leave policy with tenure-based additional leave

• Snacks and overtime meal allowance provided

• Full support for job-related books, online courses, and conference attendance

• AI development tools provided (Claude Code, Copilot, etc.)

• Opportunities to participate in domestic and international R&D collaboration projects

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge electric field sensor technology at a deep-tech startup

• Direct exposure to the full product development cycle from research to commercialization
