• Best practices and design patterns for modular, scalable, and maintainable robotics software that other teams can build upon.
• Seamless integrations between software components, creating a cohesive and reliable runtime environment.
• High‑performance, real‑time systems capable of operating in demanding and mission‑critical scenarios.
• A culture of technical excellence by mentoring other engineers in architectural principles and software craftsmanship.
• Robust and secure systems through rigorous testing, validation, and a deep understanding of system‑level details.
• Clear technical documentation that empowers your team and accelerates the development of new capabilities.

What You Bring

• Significant experience in software engineering, with deep expertise in both C++ and Python, ideally within regulated industries like defense, automotive, or aerospace.
• A profound understanding of modular software architecture, clean code principles, and designing for long‑term maintainability.
• Hands‑on experience building, debugging, and optimizing multithreaded, real‑time, or performance‑critical systems.
• A strong grasp of parallel and distributed systems, including low‑level system profiling.
• Comfort and proficiency working in embedded environments such as Linux or QNX.
• Deep knowledge of system‑level APIs (IPC, sockets, I/O) and communication protocols like CAN or Ethernet.
• Exceptional communication skills and the ability to lead technical discussions and collaborate effectively across teams.
• Familiarity with Bazel, zero‑copy middleware, or lock‑free programming is a strong advantage.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation package including a bonus opportunity.
• 27 vacation days to start, increasing with tenure up to 30 days.
• Employer‑supported pension contribution.
• Learning & development support and team events budget.
• Employee discounts and flexible benefits budget via Probonio.
• Hybrid working setup depending on role and team needs.
