Robotics Platform Engineer (Robotics/Infra)

We’re looking for a Senior Robotics Platform Engineer to own the robotics platform layer across both product lines. This is a role for someone who cares about making systems work reliably in the real world, not just in the lab. You’ll own the ROS2 and Zenoh communications layer, the Docker container infrastructure our software runs in, the diagnostics tooling that tells us what’s happening in the field, and eventually the roadmap for converging our drone and MHEV platforms into a shared architecture., * Own the ROS2 communications and middleware layer across drone and MHEV platforms, including the Zenoh-based comms layer, behavior trees, and system integration

• Maintain and evolve the Docker containers our robotics software runs in, keeping them lean, reliable, and consistently deployable to the field
• Build diagnostics and observability tooling that surfaces the health of the communications layer and running services, from low-level logging through dashboard visibility
• Define and manage deployment processes for getting software changes out to field hardware reliably and safely
• Develop the roadmap for converging our drone and MHEV architectures into a unified platform over time, and drive the execution of that convergence
• Support both Autonomy team pods across drone and MHEV, flexing between their needs as priorities shift

• Hands-on experience building and operating a working robotics system, such as drones, autonomous vehicles, or any platform with a meaningful communications layer between nodes
• Deep ROS2 experience including middleware, DDS or Zenoh, logging, and system integration
• Production experience with Docker containers in a robotics or embedded context, including container design, service management, and deployment
• Strong observability and diagnostics experience, knowing what to log, how to structure it, and how to surface failures across a distributed system
• Self-sufficient and proactive, comfortable identifying and driving solutions without waiting to be handed a spec, * Familiarity with Ansible or similar configuration management tooling for managing fleet deployments
• Experience working across multiple robotics platforms or product lines simultaneously
• Background in systems integration, connecting robotics stacks with partner or customer technologies
• Genuine interest in robotics systems and how they work, not just the software layer on top
