Senior Robotics Software Engineer

• Develop and ship ROS2 features that enhance machine behavior and unlock new capabilities
• Build out our fleet management layer - telemetry, OTA, remote ops, fleet-wide observability
• Work on perception, sensor fusion, and decision-making in unstructured outdoor environments
• Collaborate directly with mechanical, electrical, and controls engineers - and with the technicians who validate and field-test what you build
• Make architectural calls that affect what the platform can do two and three years out
• Help shape how we hire, review, and scale the software team as we grow

• Strong production ROS2 experience - not a class, not a side project; you’ve shipped and maintained ROS2 software that users depend on
• Solid C++ and/or Python; comfort moving between them
• Experience with at least one of: fleet management/distributed systems at scale, or computer vision and sensor fusion in real-world conditions
• A sense of when to build, when to integrate, and when to throw something out
• The judgment to operate as a senior IC: you scope your own work, push back when the spec is wrong, and ship without needing to be managed
• Clear technical writing - design docs, postmortems, code review comments that move the team forward

Within that, two areas have outsized leverage on where the platform goes - and you’d help us decide where to push hardest:

• The fleet problem…
• The perception problem…

About the Team

The engineering team is ten people. No one is coasting. We don’t have process layers between you and the machine. Code review matters here. Design discussions are technical and direct. Decisions get made by the people closest to the work - and the company is led by an engineer who knows the difference between cheap and right.

What This Is Not

A research position. A role where you’ll spend a year on a prototype that doesn’t ship. A place where someone else writes the spec and you implement it. A team where senior means “has been here longest.”
