About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Systems Engineer with deep expertise in modern C++, to join our advanced robotics team. This role is ideal for engineers who thrive in low-level systems development, real-time performance optimization, and complex hardware-software integration. You will be instrumental in architecting and implementing core subsystems that power our autonomous robotic platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and optimize high-performance C++ software for real-time robotic systems.
• Develop and maintain low-level drivers, middleware, and system services for embedded and distributed platforms.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (mechanical, electrical, perception, and controls) to define system-level architecture and interfaces.
• Lead debugging and performance profiling efforts across heterogeneous compute environments (CPU, GPU, microcontrollers).
• Contribute to safety-critical software development processes (e.g., ISO 26262, IEC 61508, or similar).
• Mentor junior engineers and conduct rigorous code reviews to uphold software quality and maintainability.
• Integrate third-party libraries and frameworks (e.g., ROS2, DDS, Eigen, Boost) into production systems.

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional experience in C++ systems programming, with a strong grasp of memory management, concurrency, and template metaprogramming.
• Proven experience in real-time or embedded systems development.
• Deep understanding of Linux internals, POSIX APIs, and multi-threaded programming.
• Experience with robotics middleware (e.g., ROS/ROS2, DDS, LCM).
• Familiarity with hardware interfaces: SPI, I2C, CAN, UART, GPIO, etc.
• Proficient in software architecture, design patterns, and system-level debugging.
• Strong background in version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing frameworks.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) or hard real-time constraints.
• Exposure to robot perception, SLAM, or motion planning algorithms.
• Familiarity with GPU programming (CUDA/OpenCL) or heterogeneous compute systems.
• Contributions to open-source robotics or systems software projects.
• Knowledge of safety-critical software standards and formal verification techniques.
