Responsibilities
- Architect and implement modular robotics software integrating sensors, state estimation, planning, control, and actuators.
- Define interfaces and system boundaries across the autonomy stack, middleware, operating system, and hardware accelerators.
- Lead integration of robotics components into production-ready reference platforms and customer-facing demonstrations.
- Build APIs, SDKs, reusable components, observability tools, and diagnostic workflows for robotics development and deployment.
- Improve simulation, on-target testing, calibration, logging, replay, and over-the-air component update workflows.
- Optimize latency, determinism, memory use, throughput, reliability, and safety across CPUs and heterogeneous accelerators.
- Partner with controls, perception, AI, hardware, product, and customer teams on requirements and system architecture.
- Lead design reviews, mentor engineers, resolve cross-stack technical issues, and contribute documentation, examples, reference implementations, and upstream improvements.
Requirements
- At least 6 years of experience designing and building robotics, autonomous systems, or embedded software used in real-world environments.
- At least 3 years of experience leading architecture or integration work across multiple parts of a robotics stack.
- Proficiency in modern C++ and Python, with strong software design, debugging, and code-quality practices.
- Understanding of robotics middleware and communication patterns, including ROS 2 or comparable systems.
- Understanding of coordinate frames, timing, synchronization, calibration, sensor and actuator interfaces, Linux-based and real-time systems, concurrency, IPC, and distributed component lifecycles.
- Strong fundamentals in algorithms, data structures, numerical methods, and performance optimization.
- Ability to diagnose system behavior across application, middleware, operating-system, and hardware layers.
- Experience with navigation, manipulation, motion planning, autonomous mobile robots, simulation, software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, or automated robotics testing is preferred.
- Familiarity with AI and perception inference pipelines on embedded or edge systems and heterogeneous computing across CPUs, GPUs, NPUs, or DSPs is preferred.
- Knowledge of functional safety, fault management, secure boot, isolation, or device attestation is preferred.
- Open-source contributions to robotics platforms, middleware, drivers, or developer tooling and experience moving robotics prototypes into production with partners or customers are preferred.
- Excellent technical judgment, communication, collaboration, and mentoring skills.
Benefits
- Relocation package, including visa sponsorship assistance, is offered for candidates who need it.
- Hybrid working patterns are determined by the team, with role-specific details shared during the application process.
- The role is based in Seattle and offers opportunities to work with colleagues across multiple subject areas.
- Arm offers an environment focused on collaboration, continuous learning, and meaningful technical work.
