About the role

Senior robotics software engineer role focused on designing, developing, and integrating software that connects autonomous platforms with mission payloads and stores management systems, APIs, and data transport layers in demanding operational environments.

Responsibilities

  • Develop Networked Software: Engineer scalable, robust software that interacts with networking devices, managed networks, and common router or switch hardware.
  • Payload & SMS Integration: Design and implement software that interfaces with stores management systems (SMS) and other payload subsystems to coordinate the release and control of munitions and mission payloads.
  • API/ICD Design: Architect and implement software APIs and Interface Control Documents (ICDs) using HTTP, REST, and gRPC to connect distributed systems across vehicles, payloads, and ground stations.
  • Data Transport Engineering: Build and optimize low-level data transport over UDP and TCP, ensuring reliable, low-latency communication in constrained operational environments.
  • Hardware-Interfacing Software: Write code that interfaces directly with hardware, bridging embedded devices, sensors, and payload electronics with higher-level autonomy software.
  • Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner with hardware, systems, vehicle, and payload teams to seamlessly integrate software into physical platforms.
  • Real-World Deployment: Travel up to 25% to test, debug, and deploy systems in operational environments.
  • Iterative Development: Contribute across the entire software lifecycle, including prototyping, implementation, testing, and deployment.
  • Troubleshoot and Debug: Analyze and resolve issues in deployed systems, ensuring reliability and operational success.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience developing production-grade software in C++ and/or Rust. Strong programmers in adjacent systems languages will be considered if other qualifications are met.
  • Experience building software that interacts with networking devices, managed networks, and common router or switch hardware.
  • Experience designing and implementing software APIs and ICDs, including work with HTTP, REST, and gRPC.
  • Solid understanding of low-level data transport layers, including UDP and TCP.
  • Experience writing code that interfaces with hardware (embedded devices, sensors, or payload electronics).
  • Ability to navigate and contribute to complex systems and established codebases.
  • Willingness to travel up to 50% to test and deploy systems.
  • Experience working with international suppliers and customers in the EMEA region.
  • Must be able to obtain a Secret Clearance.
