You'll work across software and data engineering, partnering closely with Autonomy, Hardware, Product, and Field Operations to deliver production-ready robotic systems for Tier 1 food production customers.

Job Responsibility

  • Define and evolve the architecture for on-robot software, including OS configuration, hardware abstraction, middleware, and system services
  • Lead middleware architecture decisions for real-time robot control, sensor integration, and inter-process communication
  • Establish patterns for full-stack development, connecting on-robot systems to cloud services and web interfaces
  • Write production code for high-impact features across the stack: robotics middleware, backend services, and cloud infrastructure
  • Lead critical technical initiatives, including robotic platform software, cloud data pipelines, and fleet management platform
  • Build robust deployment, monitoring, and OTA update systems for production robot fleets
  • Debug the most challenging issues from kernel/driver level through the application layer
  • Establish engineering standards and processes that balance rigor with startup agility
  • Champion reliability, observability, and testing practices across embedded and cloud systems
  • Mentor engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and pairing sessions
  • Collaborate with Hardware and Autonomy teams on system integration and performance optimization
  • Build and maintain internal and developer tooling that acts as a force multiplier across the organization

Requirements

  • 8+ years of software engineering with 3+ years in technical leadership roles
  • Track record delivering production robotic systems, IoT devices, or autonomous systems at scale
  • Experience designing reliable systems for B2B/enterprise deployments
  • On-device platform expertise: OS configuration, device drivers, system services, networking stack configuration
  • Robotics middleware: ROS/ROS2, real-time systems, sensor integration
  • Infrastructure: Containerization (Docker/K8s), CI/CD pipelines, monitoring/observability

Nice to have

  • Collaborative robots (Universal Robots UR5E or similar cobots)
  • Over-the-air update systems and remote device management at scale
  • Background in manufacturing/production environments
  • Track record at high-growth hardware/robotics startups
  • Cloud experience: AWS/GCP/Azure
  • Full-stack development: Backend services (Python/C++), APIs, database design, web interfaces
