This role is equal parts software architecture and engineering culture: tightening abstractions, migrating hot paths from Python to C++ where the numbers justify it, and raising the bar on how the team writes and reviews code all without breaking what already ships. Deep hands-on experience with ROS 2 authoring nodes, orchestrating topic/service/action patterns, and designing clean system architectures.

<strong> Platform Architecture & Software Quality Engineer</strong><br/> Robotics Systems Refactoring Engineering Standards<div></div><div><strong> The Role</strong></div> The robotics software platform works it was built by talented scientists moving at startup speed but it wasn't built to scale. You're the engineer who looks at a functional but fragile codebase and sees the path to something maintainable, modular, and fast. This role is equal parts software architecture and engineering culture: tightening abstractions, migrating hot paths from Python to C++ where the numbers justify it, and raising the bar on how the team writes and reviews code all without breaking what already ships.<div><strong> Day-to-Day Responsibilities</strong></div><ul><li> Conduct deep-dive audits of the existing ROS 2 codebase and drive targeted refactors that improve maintainability, modularity, and runtime performance</li><li> Profile the system to find real bottlenecks, then lead Python-to-C++ migrations for the components where it actually matters</li><li> Define and roll out software engineering standards across the team clean interfaces, automated testing, documentation practices, and a code review culture that sticks</li><li> Eliminate duplication and tighten component boundaries so that other engineers can build on predictable, well-defined modules instead of working around fragile internals</li><li> Work directly with the scientists and engineers who wrote the original code understand what they built and why before changing anything</li></ul><div><strong> What You Bring</strong></div><strong><em> Core Requirements</em></strong><ul><li> At least 7 years building software for robotic systems</li><li> Deep hands-on experience with ROS 2 authoring nodes, orchestrating topic/service/action patterns, and designing clean system architectures</li><li> A systems-level perspective: you're comfortable at the boundary between hardware drivers, real-time control loops, and application-layer software</li><li> Strong Python skills; working proficiency in C++ (able to read, modify, and extend existing codebases confidently)</li><li> Prior experience deploying and debugging software on NVIDIA Jetson platforms (Orin, Xavier, or comparable)</li><li> Self-directed and effective in early-stage, greenfield development environments</li></ul><strong><em> Architecture & Software Craft</em></strong><ul><li> Exceptional software engineering fundamentals this seat is as much about craft and discipline as it is about robotics domain knowledge</li><li> Proven track record of improving and modernizing legacy or research-grade codebases, not just standing up new projects from scratch</li><li> Fluent in both C++ and Python with the judgment to know when porting between them is worth the cost and when it isn't</li><li> Advanced ROS 2 expertise: node lifecycle management, communication pattern design, composable node architectures, and framework-level best practices</li><li> Experience introducing engineering rigor on teams with mixed backgrounds where not everyone came up through traditional software engineering</li></ul>
