About the position
As a Senior/Staff Robot software Integration Engineer, you will play a critical role in integrating perception, planning, control, and hardware into a unified and robust robot system. Your contributions will span software architecture, performance analysis, and debugging across the full robotics stack. This position is ideal for a hands-on systems thinker who thrives in multidisciplinary collaboration and is passionate about building real-world autonomous robots. You will work cross-functionally with experts in hardware, perception, planning, and control to ensure the robot operates reliably, safely, and efficiently in diverse environments. You'll also contribute to system diagnostics, real-time performance tuning, and continuous improvement of system robustness and integration workflows. The Robotics Software team is pioneering the next generation of autonomous robotic systems, focusing on autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and intelligent robotic platforms. We develop full-stack robotics capabilities-from perception and planning to control and system integration-bringing innovative, real-world autonomous solutions to the future of the work.
Responsibilities
- Integrate and validate robot software modules (perception, planning, control) with robotic hardware components into a cohesive robotic system.
- Perform in-depth system-level testing, identify performance bottlenecks, and develop solutions for real-time robotics operation.
- Collaborate closely with hardware, perception, and controls teams to ensure system-wide reliability, robustness, and safety.
- Develop tools and processes for robot system bring-up, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
- Debug complex integration issues involving sensors, compute hardware, real-time systems, and robotics middleware.
- Contribute to system architecture decisions and influence the roadmap for robot integration infrastructure.
- Provide mentorship and technical guidance to other engineers across functional boundaries.
Requirements
- Bachelor's, Master's or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Strong experience in system-level robotics integration, particularly with AMRs or similar real-world robot deployments.
- Proficiency in ROS/ROS 2, Linux, C++, and Python.
- Hands-on experience with sensor integration (e.g., LiDAR, cameras, IMUs), and embedded computing platforms.
- Strong system debugging skills: experience with networking, profiling, performance tracing, and log-based issue analysis.
- Familiarity with real-time operating constraints, safety, and reliability considerations in robotics.
Nice-to-haves
- Experience with simulation tools and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.
- Background in deploying robotic systems in production or operational environments.
- Exposure to SLAM, localization, or multi-robot coordination is a plus.
- AV/ADAS integration or industrial automation experience is a bonus.
Benefits
- Relocation benefits may be available.
- Comprehensive well-being support at work and at home.
- Commitment to a workplace free of unlawful discrimination and fostering inclusion and belonging.
