Responsibilities
Integrate and validate sensors such as LiDAR, cameras, IMU/GNSS, and other vehicle hardware
Own mission-critical system pieces: state management, health monitoring, diagnostics, logging, and fleet-ready tooling
Work on vehicle communications including CAN bus (interfaces, message handling, reliability, basic ECU/firmware touchpoints)
Build and maintain the glue that makes the stack work: drivers, bring-up scripts, config management, calibration workflows, and time synchronization basics
Troubleshoot complex issues across hardware + software + networking (timing drift, dropped frames, driver issues, flaky connections, bandwidth constraints)
Profile and optimize performance for real-time-ish workloads (high-bandwidth sensor streams, CPU/memory bottlenecks, startup stability)
Help create and maintain integration tests and validation workflows (reproducible tests, automated checks, regression catches, log replay)
Collaborate across perception, localization, controls, and product teams to integrate systems cleanly and ship improvements quickly
Write clear documentation for integration procedures, system configuration, and 'how to debug this when it breaks.'
Qualification
Required
2–4+ years in robotics integration, autonomy, embedded/systems engineering, or adjacent experience working close to hardware
Strong programming ability in: C++ (systems/performance-critical code), Python (tooling, automation, integration glue), Shell scripting (Linux workflows, debugging, automation)
Solid experience with Linux (Ubuntu), including building, packaging, and running systems in the field
Comfort with sensor + hardware bring-up (drivers, calibration workflows, time sync concepts, logs, reproducible setup)
Understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/UDP, bandwidth/latency tradeoffs, basic multicast, and debugging with common tools)
Strong debugging instincts: you can form a hypothesis, gather evidence, and drive to root cause across layers
Clear communicator with good documentation habits and a low-ego, team-first approach
Preferred
Experience with ROS 2 (nodes, launch, TF2, bags, QoS) or other robotics middleware frameworks
Experience with CAN tooling (SocketCAN, DBC workflows) and/or ECU/firmware update flows
Experience with containerized deployments (e.g., Docker) or production deployment patterns on vehicles
Familiarity with profiling tools (perf, top/htop, valgrind, gdb) and performance tuning
Exposure to OTA / device management systems (e.g., AWS Greengrass) or fleet rollout practices
Understanding of safety-oriented development practices (fault handling, watchdogs, redundancy concepts)
Experience with simulation environments (e.g., NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Gazebo, or similar) for integration and regression testing
CI/CD experience for robotics stacks (automated builds/tests, hardware-in-the-loop or log replay workflows)
