## Description

We are seeking a Senior Build Systems & Software Robustification Engineer to lead the development and maintenance of the build, toolchain, and software quality infrastructure for a complex C++ robotics platform. This role is responsible for ensuring build reliability, software quality, reproducibility, and traceability across the entire development lifecycle. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in modern C++ build systems, CI/CD automation, static analysis, sanitizer integration, and reproducible build practices within production-grade software environments.

 * Design, implement, and own the build system architecture and toolchain configuration for a large-scale C++ robotics software stack.
 * Develop and maintain robust build infrastructure using modern build technologies such as CMake and/or Bazel.
 * Establish and manage comprehensive software quality tooling, including:
 + Static code analysis
 + Address Sanitizer (ASan)
 + Thread Sanitizer (TSan)
 + Undefined Behavior Sanitizer (UBSan)
 + Automated reporting and traceability throughout the development pipeline
 * Enable and maintain reproducible production builds, allowing teams to:
 + Rebuild any software component from a specific point in time
 + Recreate historical build environments
 + Execute corresponding test suites against reconstructed builds
 * Improve CI/CD effectiveness by enhancing:
 + Build reliability
 + Test signal quality
 + Failure diagnostics
 + Developer feedback loops
 * Implement artifact management and version traceability processes that provide clear visibility into software lineage, dependencies, and release history.
 * Drive improvements in developer productivity through better tooling, automation, build performance, and debugging workflows.
 * Collaborate with software, robotics, infrastructure, and systems engineering teams to establish scalable engineering best practices for software delivery and quality assurance.
