Staff Software Systems Engineer

As a Staff Software Systems Engineer for robot software, you play a pivotal role in the development of advanced, general-purpose robots designed to operate in human environments and work with human tools. This position demands a high degree of ownership and responsibly, driving projects across the engineering from conception to completion. You will be responsible for leading software design project efforts for general and specific use and test cases.

Drive cross-functional engineering teams to design, develop and maintain scalable and reliable platform software solutions that support the deployment and operating of robotic systems.
Lead cross-functional, multidisciplinary teams to develop software requirements, architectures, implementation schedules, and test plans for full-stack robotic systems.
Lead and support Root Cause Analysis on complex hardware-software-control integration and operational bugs.
Design and develop APIs, services and frameworks to allow for unique prototype robot use cases, research and development investigations as well as off nominal test scenarios.
Troubleshoot and debug complex issues in both development and production environments, ensuring rapid prototyping and minimal downtime.
Design and develop fault detection, diagnostics, and recovery plans to enhance system robustness and uptime.
Support the validation team by developing segmented robot or subsystem control software to allow for efficient test execution and data collection
