What You’ll Build

• Design and implement robotic software architectures to ensure robust device communication and optimise system performance

• Develop and integrate software solutions for sensors, actuators, and electronic systems in robotics applications

• Define and optimise communication protocols (e.g., CAN, Ethernet, wireless) for secure and reliable data exchange

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of hardware and software components

• Establish best practices for modular and scalable software development in robotics

• Conduct rigorous testing and validation to ensure the performance, reliability, and security of robotic systems

• Provide technical documentation to support knowledge sharing and streamline development processes

• Mentor and guide team members in adopting architectural principles and best practices

What You Bring

• Over 5 years of hands-on experience in robotics software development

• Proficient in C++ with extensive experience using ROS2 (Robot Operating System)

• Deep understanding of robotic systems architecture, including sensors, actuators, embedded computing platforms, and real-time system constraints

• Well-versed in communication protocols such as CAN, Ethernet, TCP/UDP, and serial interfaces

• Strong background in Linux environments, containerization with Docker, and implementation of modern CI/CD pipelines

• Proven problem-solving and debugging skills, particularly in systems involving hardware-software integration.

• Bachelor’s degree, Master's degree or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field

• Fluency in English is required and German is nice to have

Please note: You do not need to meet every single requirement to apply. We welcome motivated candidates who are eager to grow into the role and develop their expertise further.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package

• A shaping role in an emerging dual use company

• Opportunity to work with a highly innovative, international, and dynamic team

• Room for professional growth and development

• Participation in the company's success, with access to regular events, knowledge exchange and meetups
