Senior Software Engineer, Robotic Systems

About This Role

As a Senior Software Engineer for Robotic Systems, you will design and build the distributed software system that controls the Matter Compiler. You will work across layers of the stack, abstracting low-level device interfaces into high-level automation APIs, and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to bring novel technology to life.

Responsibilities

• Write, operate, and debug software and firmware for complex robotics with hard real-time constraints
• Design and operate software that coordinates state, timing, and failure recovery across a distributed network of devices
• Work hands-on with manufacturing robotics and design software to coordinate a distributed network of devices
• Work at multiple levels of the software stack, including designing and implementing a networked API and debugging it down to the hardware

Requirements

• Multi-language programming fluency (C++, Python)
• Deep and broad understanding of how computers work
• Familiarity with robotics-adjacent systems (sensors, actuators, timing constraints, physical failure modes)
• Experience designing, building, and shipping complex software systems that control hardware as part of a team
• Experience with version control and working on Linux machines
• A first-principles mindset

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field
• 5+ years of industry experience developing software that interfaces with hardware

Nice to Have

• Experience or interest in heterogeneous, distributed computing architectures
• Experience in abstracting the control of manufacturing machines, material transport systems, and factory-level orchestration
• Experience with instrumenting software for observability and debugging
