Résumé du poste

Avular, based in Eindhoven, seeks a Senior Software Engineer to strengthen its robotics software stack. You will design and build onboard software in C++, with Python where it fits, and ensure robust, high-performance code that interfaces with ROS and hardware.

You will collaborate with hardware, control and algorithm engineers, define requirements, implement tests, and help mature prototypes into deployable products. The role offers a competitive salary and benefits in the Eindhoven area.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Typically 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with substantial experience developing and maintaining complex production-grade software.
• Expert-level knowledge of modern C++ (C++17 or newer) and strong practical experience with Python.
• Strong experience with Linux, CMake, and Docker in production software environments.
• Demonstrated ability to develop robust, secure, maintainable, and high-performance software.
• Deep understanding of C++ memory management, concurrency, threading, ownership and lifetime, undefined behaviour, and performance characteristics.
• Strong software design and architecture skills while remaining a hands-on software engineer.
• Experience maturing an existing software system from functional prototypes toward a qualified, deployable product.
• Experience translating system and software requirements into implementations that can be verified, validated, and traced back to their requirements.

Responsabilités

• Design and build onboard applications in C++, with Python where it fits.
• Co-develop the software architecture — interfaces, structure, and how components fit together.
• Define and write requirements for new functionality.
• Work close to the hardware, including firmware where the role calls for it.
• Build the automated tests and documentation that make a feature genuinely done.
• Collaborate directly with hardware, control and algorithm engineers.
• Experience maturing an existing software system from functional prototypes toward a qualified, deployable product.
• Experience translating system and software requirements into implementations that can be verified, validated, and traced back to their requirements.
• Strong understanding of configuration management and controlled software releases.
• Experience designing and implementing effective test strategies covering unit, integration, system, regression, and, where applicable, hardware-in-the-loop testing.
• Strong experience with static analysis, sanitisers, code-quality tooling, profiling, benchmarking, and systematic performance optimisation.
• Understanding of secure software development, including threat analysis, defensive programming, dependency management, vulnerability management, and secure communication.
• Experience establishing and improving engineering practices around code review, coding standards, CI/CD, automated testing, release management, and software quality.
• Able to diagnose difficult system-level problems across application software, Linux, containers, networking, and hardware.
• Able to identify and systematically resolve technical risks and maturity gaps that prevent a software system from reaching qualification and operational readiness.
• Able to provide technical leadership through engineering work: making technical decisions, reviewing designs and code, mentoring engineers, and driving improvements across the codebase while remaining actively involved in implementation.
