Job summary

Aurelius Systems in San Francisco is seeking a Senior Robotics Software Engineer to advance the Archimedes robotics stack. You will write production code across perception, control, and autonomy, while raising the bar on QA and CI/CD practices for fielded software.

You will collaborate closely with the Lead Software Engineer and Principal Robotics SWE, ensuring code survives field conditions through rigorous testing and integration.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of robotics software engineering with real shipped systems behind you.
• Strong hands-on development chops. You're a builder first, and you write production code that runs on real hardware.
• ROS2 experience and the judgment to know when not to use it.
• Experience building or operating CI/CD for robotics or hardware-in-the-loop systems.
• A genuine ownership mentality toward quality. You've seen what bad test discipline costs in the field and you fix it without being asked.

Responsibilities

• Hands-on development across the robotics software stack from perception, control, and autonomy.
• Championing QA practices and test coverage alongside Erick and the Principal, embedding quality into how the team works rather than bolting it on.
• CI/CD infrastructure and deployment hygiene for robotics and hardware-in-the-loop.
• Writing and maintaining the automated tests and tooling that catch failures before the range does.
• Code review and raising the quality bar across the robotics SWE team.
• Cross-functional work across perception, controls, embedded, and EE.
