## About the Role

* A completed degree in computer science, robotics, electrical engineering, mechatronics, or a comparable field - or equivalent vocational training/apprenticeship in a relevant technical discipline. Hands-on experience counts at least as much as the formal qualification
 * 10+ years of overall experience in software engineering for robotics, embedded, or autonomous systems, including at least 5 years in a leadership role
 * Proven experience leading an engineering team that includes mid-level engineers, with a hands-on hardware integration background and the ability to coach and upskill your team on embedded real-time software
 * Excellent modern C++ skills (C++17-C++23), experience with embedded systems and RTOS, and strong robotics domain knowledge
 * Experience with CI/CD and setting technical direction, including build and toolchain decisions; ROS2 experience is a strong plus, and prior software architecture experience is a plus
 * Comfortable acting as an internal technical evangelist/consultant across teams, owning code-quality gatekeeping (PR reviews, CI) and authoring coding guidelines
 * Strong people-leadership skills - psychological safety, coaching/1:1s, performance feedback - with a leadership orientation valued at least as highly as deep technical execution
 * Excellent communication skills, able to translate technical decisions for non-technical stakeholders and align cross-functional teams
 * English C1 is required; German is a plus

## Description

* Define the strategy and architecture for integrating perception, planning, and control software into a cohesive, reliable robotics system, and decide how the system is built, tested, and compiled
 * Build, lead, and develop our Software Integration and Robotics team, ensuring the right skills and capacity to deliver stable system-level releases. Own psychological safety, 1:1s, growth, performance management, and leave planning for your direct reports
 * Own the integration backlog, release deadlines, and cross-team dependencies (Perception, Motion Planning, Simulation), ensuring committed system-level releases are delivered reliably and meet performance and safety requirements
 * Set quality standards - code review, CI/CD, coding guidelines - across the C++ integration and robotics codebase, and own code-quality gatekeeping
 * Partner closely with the perception, motion planning, and simulation teams, acting as an internal technical evangelist to ensure architectural decisions support company-wide technical goals
