Software Engineer - Autonomy Infrastructure, Systems and Tools

We are looking for an experienced software engineer to lead the development of tools that support every stage of the autonomy lifecycle. You will be responsible for building and evolving core internal platforms that allow engineers to test new ideas, diagnose system behaviors, and understand complex interactions between software and the physical world. This role combines backend systems work with front-end visualization, and requires a strong sense of software design, developer experience, and a passion for enabling others through effective tooling. The systems you build will be used daily by autonomy developers, test engineers and other stakeholders across the company.

Responsibilities

Design and build robust replay and analysis systems that enable engineers to inspect and reproduce recorded autonomy behavior; Develop scalable infrastructure for automated testing and failure triage; Operate at the interface between autonomy software and core robotics middleware; Design and implement high-quality developer infrastructure and tools; Lead the design and implementation of scalable tools used across autonomy development and testing workflows; Collaborate with autonomy, QA, and infrastructure teams to gather requirements; Build tools that streamline stages of the robotics development process; Take ownership of internal services from concept through deployment and monitoring; Contribute to the long-term vision and roadmap for developer tools.

Requirements

3+ years of professional experience in software engineering, ideally in robotics, simulation, or systems development; Proficiency in C++ and Python, with a strong grasp of performance-sensitive and multi-threaded systems; Experience with simulation frameworks, time-synchronized data systems, or state-machine-driven applications; Familiarity with structured data visualization, log processing, or developer tooling design; Strong communication skills and the ability to partner effectively with cross-functional teams; Comfort operating in a fast-paced environment where requirements evolve and priorities shift.

Nice to have

Experience building performance-sensitive systems (profiling, multithreading, real-time constraints) in robotics, aerospace, automotive, or similar domains; Exposure to robotics / simulation / physics engines; Background in telemetry systems, log ingestion pipelines, or automated test environments; Front-end development skills in modern web frameworks (e.g., React, TypeScript, Three.js, Plotly) with a focus on data interaction and visualization; Familiarity with distributed systems or cloud-hosted services used to support internal tools and customer applications.

Benefits

Competitive base salaries; Equity in the form of stock options; Comprehensive benefits packages; Relocation assistance may be provided for eligible roles; Group health insurance plans; Paid vacation time, sick leave, holiday pay; 401K savings plan.
