Senior Software Engineer Jobs

Zendar is looking for an experienced Software Engineer with passion for SW design and desire to bring things to life in the real world. If you have years of SW background, your heart beats for good design and you can keep up with the fast pace of a startup, you might like the challenge. Our team is a testament of the ability to unite engineers of different backgrounds over a common vision. We do not shy away from reality and its limitations but we also dream big. Zendar is building perception for physical AI—giving engineers a strong foundation for creating world-class robotics applications. At Zendar, you’ll work on perception foundation models that enable robots to understand and interact with their environments across a wide range of industries. Zendar pioneered RF perception that delivers a vision-like, semantically segmented understanding of the environment—running on embedded automotive systems using only radar data. This RF perception forms the backbone of Zendar’s next-generation foundation models, which are built around early fusion of RF and vision data. This architecture inverts the traditional perception stack. Instead of treating RF signals as secondary, Zendar’s models combine vision’s high angular resolution with RF’s strong temporal and spatial understanding at the earliest stages of perception. The result is a system that sees farther, remains robust to occlusion and adverse weather, and operates far more efficiently than vision-only or lidar-based approaches. At Zendar, you’ll work at the cutting edge of autonomous mobility and robotics—advancing foundation models that will power the next generation of physical AI systems. You’ll work with large-scale, real-world, multi-modal datasets composed of synchronized and calibrated radar, camera, and lidar data collected across multiple continents. Our team brings together deep expertise across hardware, signal processing, machine learning, and software engineering, with decades of experience in sensing and perception. We are a global team with offices in Berkeley, Lindau (Germany), and Paris (France). Zendar is well-funded by leading Tier-1 venture capital firms and has established strong industry partnerships. Role Overview: Our Software Platform team builds all the sensor, data, and demo infrastructure that makes Zendar run. As a result, this team interacts with every other engineering team at Zendar to do things like integrate and bring up new sensors, launch demos of new models and algorithms, visualize radar data in real time, and scalably collect data for training ML models. All of this comes together in our evaluation kit (EVK) which is the primary way that our customers interact with all of Zendar’s technology. We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join the Platform team of 5 engineers (3 in Berkeley and 2 in Lindau, Germany) with a strong team culture and wide range of expertise, from low-level device drivers up to UI development. You will contribute to all those levels of abstraction across a wide range of project types. This role is ideal for someone with very strong software fundamentals, and comfort and eagerness to learn new domains and challenge themself.
