System Software Engineer III

As a System Software Engineer III on the Commercial Landscaping Team, you will bridge the gap between firmware and higher-level robot software. You will maintain the operating system and foundational software that every other system on the robot depends on and write the lower-level abstractions that make the rest of the codebase possible. You will work closely with firmware engineers on CAN-connected microcontrollers, perception engineers processing camera data in real time, and applications engineers streaming telemetry to the cloud. Most of the codebase is Rust, with some C++ and Python. You will be required to regularly spend time on-bot verifying your own changes.

Requirements

• Maintain and evolve the robot’s operating system (Ubuntu and Yocto) and system-level tools.
• Write and maintain software in Rust, Python, and C++ across the stack.
• Bridge firmware and higher-level software, translating between the two layers.
• Build tools that improve fleet observability, stability, and performance at scale.
• Verify changes directly on-bot and assist other engineering teams in the field.
• Debug complex, multi-threaded issues across firmware, perception, and application layers.
• Collaborate daily with firmware, perception, and applications engineers on shared systems.
• Learn new tools and technologies as the robot platform and fleet grow.

• 5+ years of experience writing production code in at least one compiled language: Rust, C++, Go, Java, or C.
• Has built and maintained large, complex software systems over time.
• Has operated and maintained a complex Linux system in a production environment.
• Can debug large, multi-threaded, multi-disciplinary software systems.
• Comfortable engaging with unfamiliar systems to triage and solve deeply technical problems.
• Willing to spend hands-on time verifying changes directly on real hardware.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to remain in a stationary position for significant portions of the workday, including computer-based tasks and meetings.
• Ability to communicate and exchange information clearly and effectively with team members and collaborators.
• Capacity to analyze complex technical problems and make decisions in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to move around a lab, shop, or field environment to verify software changes directly on the robot.
