## About the Role

As an Embedded Software Engineer IV, you will lead feature development and systems integration for embedded software operating on autonomous robotic vehicles. You bring 5-7 years of embedded C/C++ experience to complex vehicle control, actuator, and sensor challenges, working independently across the full development lifecycle from requirements through fielded support. Your depth in real-time systems and clean code practice raises the quality bar for the team around you., * Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

 * 8+ years designing and implementing embedded real-time software systems using C/C++.
 * Strong familiarity with large multithreaded embedded applications running on an RTOS.
 * Familiarity with electrical and mechanical systems.
 * Experience with communication protocols such as CAN, TCP, UDP, SPI, or RS232.
 * Experience with ROS/ROS2 or sensor interfacing including GPS, LiDAR, RADAR, or ultrasonics.
 * Experience with Agile development, device drivers, or flash programming tools a plus.

Physical Requirements

 * Ability to remain in a stationary position at a computer workstation for extended periods.
 * Ability to operate a computer and other office productivity equipment continuously.
 * Ability to communicate and exchange information in person, via phone, and through electronic means.
 * Ability to traverse office, lab, data center, and field environments as required.

## Description

* Lead feature development for embedded applications on autonomous robotic vehicle platforms.
 * Diagnose and resolve complex defects across vehicle control, actuator, and perception sensor systems.
 * Drive systems engineering participation to ensure robust software integration across hardware and software stacks.
 * Write clean, reusable C and C++ code following SOLID principles and established design patterns.
 * Build and maintain unit, integration, and system simulation tests with a test-first approach.
 * Contribute to continuous refactoring and maintain disciplined use of distributed version control.
 * Support fielded systems and lead collaboration with engineering teams on integration challenges.
