About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the ROS2 communications and middleware layer across drone and MHEV platforms, including the Zenoh-based comms layer, behavior trees, and system integration
Maintain and evolve the Docker containers our robotics software runs in, keeping them lean, reliable, and consistently deployable to the field
Build diagnostics and observability tooling that surfaces the health of the communications layer and running services, from low-level logging through dashboard visibility
Define and manage deployment processes for getting software changes out to field hardware reliably and safely
Develop the roadmap for converging our drone and MHEV architectures into a unified platform over time, and drive the execution of that convergence
Support both Autonomy team pods across drone and MHEV, flexing between their needs as priorities shift

Requirements

What you’ll need

Hands-on experience building and operating a working robotics system, such as drones, autonomous vehicles, or any platform with a meaningful communications layer between nodes
Deep ROS2 experience including middleware, DDS or Zenoh, logging, and system integration
Production experience with Docker containers in a robotics or embedded context, including container design, service management, and deployment
Strong observability and diagnostics experience, knowing what to log, how to structure it, and how to surface failures across a distributed system
Self-sufficient and proactive, comfortable identifying and driving solutions without waiting to be handed a spec.
