Job description

ABOUT PROJECT

Our client is a global leader in autonomous robotics and AI, operating one of the world’s largest fleets of commercial mobile robots across retail, transportation, education, and industrial environments. Their next-generation autonomy platform combines computer vision, sensor fusion, indoor navigation, and cloud-connected fleet management to power advanced robotics at scale.

ELEKS is extending the Robot Platform team to enhance and re-architect the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) that enables reliable, safe, and performant robot operation. This role involves deep technical work with sensors, embedded systems, and modern C++ in a highly innovative environment.

REQUIREMENTS

• 6+ years of professional experience with modern C++ (C++11/14/17+)
• Strong background in embedded systems or Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) development
• Hands‑on experience integrating sensors: LiDAR, IMU, cameras, depth/RGB sensors
• Proficiency with Linux/Ubuntu development environments
• Experience with CMake, unit testing (GTest/GMock), and debugging/profiling tools
• Solid understanding of multithreading, memory management, and real‑time constraints
• Experience with version control (Git)
• Familiarity with middleware protocols such as DDS or MQTT
• Ability to work with system‑level architecture and contribute to re‑design discussions
• Strong troubleshooting skills in embedded/robotics environments
• Good communication skills and ability to work cross‑functionally
• High proficiency in English

NICE TO HAVE

• CUDA, Python (for migration tasks), robotics/AMR experience, telemetry system design, large‑scale platform migrations

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Migrate the existing HAL to a new, modular, scalable architecture
• Bring up and integrate new hardware sensors (LiDAR/IMU/cameras) into the HAL
• Participate in the re-architecture of HAL for maintainability and extensibility
• Support the migration of middleware components from Python to C++
• Contribute to the redesign of the system’s telemetry pipeline
• Write clean, efficient, production‑ready modern C++ code
• Perform code reviews, unit testing, and debugging to ensure high‑quality delivery
• Document architecture, designs, and processes to support team knowledge sharing
• Collaborate closely with hardware, embedded, software, and QA teams for seamless system integration
