We are looking for a highly skilled Software Architect – Robotics to lead the design, structure, and evolution of complex robotic software systems. You will play a key role in shaping the robot code stack, defining CI/CD and testing strategies, and ensuring reliable deployment across operational robots in the field.
This role sits at the intersection of robotics, embedded/distributed systems, and modern software engineering practices, and is ideal for someone who enjoys building scalable, maintainable, and production-ready robotic platforms.
Key Responsibilities
* Own and evolve the robot software code stack, including architecture, build systems, and dependency management
* Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines to synchronize multiple codebases and environments
* Define and establish a layered test automation strategy, including:
o Component and integration testing
o Structured logging and metrics collection on robots
* Coordinate and plan software releases in alignment with field‑deployed robots and operational constraints
* Collaborate closely with robotics, systems, and field teams to ensure stable deployments and upgrades
* Promote and enforce software engineering best practices to deliver high‑quality, modular, and easily maintainable software
* Proactively identify technical risks and impediments, proposing pragmatic solutions with a clear cost–benefit mindset
* Stay up to date with emerging trends in robotics, simulation, CI/CD, and deployment tooling
Requirements
* MSc or PhD in a STEM discipline, with a strong focus on software engineering
* 7+ years of professional software engineering experience
* 3+ years designing distributed or embedded systems in robotics, automotive, or IoT environments
* Hands‑on experience with ROS / ROS2 and integration with simulation tools (e.g. Isaac Sim)
* Strong experience in test automation, including continuous, component, and integration testing
* Excellent programming skills in Python and C++, writing clean, idiomatic, and production‑ready code
* Strong working knowledge of Linux and Git
* Experience with Yocto, Ansible, Docker, and cloud‑native development concepts
* Professional mindset: humble, collaborative, respectful, and solution‑oriented
Nice to Have
* Experience with mobile or humanoid robots
* Exposure to field operations, including remote debugging, log analysis, and incident response
