Senior Software Engineer - Platform Integration, Robot Software

🧠 Your day-to-day

• Support software bring-up on benches, HiL systems, and vehicles, including work at international test locations.

• Develop and maintain vehicle-facing software components and shared frameworks.

• Diagnose integration issues across software and hardware boundaries and drive them through resolution.

• Identify architectural improvements that reduce bespoke work and improve reuse.

• Build diagnostics, tooling, and metrics for robot-software reliability and performance.

• Produce clear documentation and runbooks for long-term supportability.

• Collaborate with hardware, safety, controls, calibration, and reliability teams.

🧩 What you’ll be working on

• New vehicle-program bring-up across embedded compute, sensors, networks, and software services.

• Linux-based robotic and automotive systems with multi-process and distributed architectures.

• ROS2 or similar middleware, node development, message interfaces, and system integration.

• Sensor calibration, synchronisation, data validation, and system-level debugging.

• Automotive-grade compute platforms such as NVIDIA DRIVE and Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride.

• Vehicle communication systems including CAN and Automotive Ethernet.

• Shared abstractions and frameworks that improve reliability across programs.

🙌 You should apply if

• You have strong software-development experience in C++, Python, or Rust.

• You have delivered production-quality software on Linux-based robotic, embedded, or automotive platforms.

• You understand ROS2 or similar robotics middleware and distributed-system integration.

• You have hands-on experience integrating software with vehicle or embedded hardware.

• You can diagnose complex problems using logs, telemetry, on-target tests, and systematic experimentation.

• You understand vehicle sensors, networking, and the practical realities of platform bring-up.

Experience with drive-by-wire systems, CAN tools, shared frameworks, HiL or simulation, functional safety, technical documentation, or observability would be valuable.

🌱 Not ticking every box? That’s totally okay! If you’re passionate about autonomy and keen to learn, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every requirement.
