The position requires hands-on experience with networking, middleware configuration, containerized or virtualized environments, GPU-enabled software frameworks, and robust software engineering practices to enable reliable remote operation, monitoring, testing, and scalability.

Required experience

• Minimum 3 years of professional software engineering experience with C++ and Python, preferably in robotics, distributed systems, networking, embedded systems, or comparable cyber-physical environments.
• Hands-on experience designing, integrating, or troubleshooting remote connectivity infrastructure such as VPNs, VLANs, routing configurations, firewalls, and secure network communication.
• Experience with DDS or comparable middleware, including configuration and tuning of quality of service parameters for reliable distributed communication.
• Experience developing reusable software infrastructure for containerized or virtualized environments, including Docker, Kubernetes, virtual machines, or comparable technologies.
• Experience with image or video streaming across networks using frameworks such as GStreamer, NVIDIA Holoscan, ROS, DDS, or comparable technologies.
• Practical experience with GPU-enabled software environments, acceleration frameworks, and computational platforms used for real-time data or image processing.
• Experience developing monitoring, diagnostics, liveliness reporting, or software interfaces that expose communication quality metrics to external applications or observability tools.
• Experience creating test cases and contributing to continuous integration, automated testing, validation pipelines, and technical documentation.
• Familiarity with using AI-assisted coding technologies to support software development, code review, documentation, testing, or debugging workflows.

Preferred Experience

• Prior experience developing remote connectivity, teleoperation, distributed robotics, medical robotic platforms, autonomous systems, or image-guided therapy systems.
• Experience with ROS, NVIDIA Holoscan, GStreamer, DDS implementations, or comparable middleware and streaming frameworks.
• Experience integrating software with real hardware, sensors, actuators, GPUs, edge computers, cloud resources, or other computational platforms.
• Experience with medical device development, regulated product development, or safety-critical software is a plus.
• Willingness to learn new technologies, adapt to evolving technical needs, and contribute in a fast-moving research and development environment.

Education Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer science, Software Engineering, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related technical field.

Education Preferred

• Master’s degree or specialized training in robotics, distributed systems, real-time systems, or medical device software development.
