Senior Robotics Software Engineer (Zürich, 100%)

Loki Robotics; Zürich; Vor Ort; CHF 120.000 - 160.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Loki Robotics is hiring a Robotics Software Engineer to work across the stack, shaping how developers, operators, and customers interact with our product.

You will develop the robotics stack from drivers to health management, contribute to a low-latency video streaming pipeline, and build tools for teleoperation and fleet management.

Qualifikationen

• 3+ years in a professional SWE environment, preferably in Robotics, Automotive, or Aerospace.
• Strong modern C++ experience and Python.
• Solid Linux fundamentals (systemd, time synchronization, schedulers, networking).
• Experience debugging with core dumps, debuggers (gdb), and profiling tools.
• Experience in test automation (unit tests, integration tests).
• Worked on embedded platforms and sensor integration.

Aufgaben

• Develop the robotics stack from low-level drivers and behavior trees to health management and software configuration.
• Contribute to a low-latency video streaming pipeline, covering encoding to network transport.
• Implement data and telemetry ingestion from the robots to the cloud.
• Build internal tools such as a teleoperation interface, fleet management, and data dashboard.
• Drive CI/CD pipelines, test frameworks, and developer tooling; establish memory safety and architectural guidelines.

Jobbeschreibung

Deploying robots means more than training the latest policy. As a robotics SWE, you will work across the stack and define how developers, operators, and customers interact with our product. You know that a hardware abstraction layer and subsystem APIs are the foundation to a system in which a growing team of engineers can contribute without slowing down and that doesn't break when hardware changes. You value delivering a polished product just as much as building a reliable, maintainable system.

What you'll be doing:

• Develop the robotics stack from low-level drivers and behavior trees to health management and software configuration
• Contribute to a low-latency video streaming pipeline, covering everything from video encoding to network transport
• Implement data and telemetry ingestion from the robots to the cloud
• Build internal tools such as a teleoperation interface, robot fleet management, and data dashboard
• Drive CI/CD pipelines, test frameworks, and developer tooling. You will establish practices ranging from memory safety to architectural guidelines

What you should have:

• 3+ years in a professional SWE environment, preferably in Robotics, Automotive, or Aerospace
• Strong modern C++ experience and experience in Python
• Solid fundamentals of Linux such as systemd, time synchronization, schedulers and networking fundamentals (TCP/UDP)
• Experience in debugging complex issues using core dumps, debuggers (gdb), and application profiling (perf, ftrace)
• Experience in test automation (unit tests, integration tests)
• Worked on embedded platforms and sensor integration

These skills are a plus:

• Experience in Rust, ROS2, or Zenoh
• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and simulation-in-the-loop (SIL) testing
• Experience with NVIDIA Jetson
• Hands-on experience with streaming protocols (WebRTC/RT(C)P), media frameworks (gstreamer), and networking technologies (LTE/5G, WiFi)
• Experience in common robotics algorithms (SLAM, pointcloud processing, control theory, computer vision)

As the first dedicated robotics SWE, you will have a massive impact on our engineering culture. As the team grows, you can remain a high-impact generalist and work across all layers of abstraction or specialize and lead individual subsystems.

Don't worry if you don't hit every check-mark. We value engineers who care about building great products and can learn to get things working. Just give it a go and apply.
