Job Description
Position Overview
We are seeking a Robotics Software Engineer with a solid foundation in Python on Linux and a working knowledge of robotics and autonomous systems. You will design and implement software packages, write tests to support CI, create interface adapters (e.g., JSON↔XML), and collaborate with cross‑functional teams to translate project goals into design, implementation, and verification tasks. Experience with Git, code reviews, and Agile practices is essential. Opportunities exist to contribute to systems design and C++ components if you bring preferred qualifications.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement software in Python on Linux for robotics/autonomy use cases.
- Develop unit and integration tests; support continuous integration and automated pipelines.
- Implement interface adapters for data transformation (e.g., JSON ↔ XML).
- Break down goals into stories/tasks; collaborate with systems, controls, and hardware teams.
- Use Git for version control; participate in code and document reviews.
- (Preferred) Contribute to C++ modules, architecture/ICD docs, and algorithm prototyping.
Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in ME, EE, CS, CE, Robotics, Controls, Aerospace, or related field; or equivalent practical experience.
- Basic understanding of robotics/autonomous systems technologies.
- Proficiency developing in Python on Linux.
- Experience building unit/integration tests for CI.
- Experience creating interface adapters for data conversion.
- Experience working with cross‑functional teams to translate goals into design/implementation/testing tasks.
- Proficiency with Git and collaborative code reviews.
Preferred Qualifications
- Designing, implementing, and testing C++ software on Linux.
- Broad knowledge of robotics & autonomous systems (techniques, architectures, algorithms).
- Ability to review research papers and prototype algorithms.
- Experience designing/architecting software systems (module interfaces, patterns, language/library selection).
- Evaluating design/tool trade‑offs and recommending a path forward.
- Creating software design/architecture documentation (e.g., ICDs, Software Architecture Design Docs).
- Experience in Agile development with Jira and Confluence.
- Hands‑on with robotics platforms (autonomous robotics is a plus).
- Strong Python skills; 4‑year degree in Computer Engineering/Computer Science or related engineering discipline.
Core Competencies
- Strong problem solving, systems thinking, and communication (written & verbal).
- Collaborative, organized, and comfortable with iterative delivery and peer review.
- Ability to work across disciplines (software, controls, perception, systems).
