Staff Engineer, Software Integration (R4483)

Responsibilities

• Become a systems integration expert for autonomous robotics: Develop deep expertise in AI-powered autonomy stack.
• Learn to configure, deploy, and integrate multi-agent systems across simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, and flight platforms.
• Understand the full system end-to-end—from sensor inputs to autonomous behaviors.
• Integrate new capabilities into the autonomy stack: Collaborate cross-functionally to bring autonomy algorithms, perception pipelines, middleware, and platform interfaces into the integrated product.
• Enable platform bring-up and validation: Lead integration of autonomy software onto new robotic hardware platforms.
• Develop integration tooling & infrastructure: Architect and implement frameworks, deployment scripts, and configuration management tools for SIL, HIL, and flight environments.
• Support cross-platform compatibility: Ensure autonomy stack operates reliably across platforms, OS, and configurations.
• Analyze system behavior and root-cause issues: Evaluate logs, telemetry, rosbag data; create analysis tooling.
• Optimize integration workflows and CI/CD: Streamline pipelines, reduce cycle times.
• Validate system requirements and interface contracts.
