## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Own the vehicle platform end-to-end, including networking, time synchronization, sensor selection and drivers, middleware integration, embedded software, drive-by-wire, and low-level controls actuation.
- Architect and deliver full-system platform capabilities spanning hardware and software, from 0→1 prototypes through reliable production systems deployed on heavy machinery.
- Integrate cross-functional work into cohesive, product-ready platforms adapted to customer machines and use cases.
- Interact directly with customers to identify target use cases, define platform requirements, and drive integrations through successful field deployment.
- Lead and coordinate engineers by setting technical direction, prioritizing workstreams, and managing cross-functional dependencies.
- Design and bring up test rigs and validation infrastructure for end-to-end system testing, hardware-in-the-loop verification, and on-vehicle validation.
- Debug, test, and troubleshoot complex full-stack interactions, from sensor timing and network behavior to actuation and controls.

## Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in robotics, systems integration, or platform software development, with technical leadership or tech lead experience.
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Hands-on experience across the robotics platform stack, including sensors and drivers, networking and time synchronization, middleware, and embedded systems.
- Strong C/C++ development experience on Linux, including debugging and testing complex real-time systems.
- Experience with vehicle actuation and low-level controls, such as drive-by-wire systems and controller integration.
- Strong understanding of electronic systems and how to set up, instrument, and debug them.
- Ability to coordinate and prioritize across multiple engineers and cross-functional teams to deliver customer commitments.

## Nice-to-haves
- Experience with heavy machinery, off-road vehicles, agriculture, mining, or construction equipment.
- Experience with CAN, J1939, LIN, Ethernet/TSN, PTP/gPTP, AUTOSAR, or related automotive and industrial communication technologies.
- Experience taking robotic systems from prototype to production, including safety considerations, release processes, and CI/CD for embedded targets.
- Customer-facing experience scoping, delivering, and supporting projects.
- Firmware development experience or familiarity with microcontroller-based systems.
- Experience with electrical or harness design, CAD/3D printing, PCB design, or adjacent skills.
