Staff Engineer – Core Platform Integration

About the role

Build the foundation for the next generation of autonomous systems. In this role, you'll develop and integrate the core software and platform infrastructure that powers mission‑critical technology, working across teams to deliver reliable, scalable solutions from development through deployment.

Key responsibilities

• Own platform integration across SIL, HIL, VIL, and edge deployment workflows, ensuring components work together reliably and are easy for developers to use.
• Build and maintain reference work spaces, platform reference implementations, and tooling that accelerate development, testing, deployment, and validation.
• Integrate platform‑level software across hardware, sensors, controllers, APIs, configuration, orchestration, and fleet/device management systems.
• Support embedded platform bring‑up and hardware diversification across developer boards, iron birds, aircraft/vehicle test platforms, and other reference hardware.
• Improve platform stability, API quality, developer experience, and system scalability for mission‑critical product and customer commitments.
• Partner with autonomy, hardware, product, and program teams to identify integration gaps and deliver durable solutions.

Required profile

• 5+ years of software engineering experience in robotics, autonomy, embedded systems, distributed systems, or similarly complex platforms.
• Strong experience with C++ and Python and building developer tools, configuration systems, orchestration frameworks, or automation.
• Experience integrating and debugging software across Linux‑based systems, hardware interfaces, deployment environments, and APIs, using measurement tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, or protocol analyzers.
• B.S. or Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Ability to work independently in ambiguous technical areas and drive cross‑functional integration efforts to completion.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
