• Develop robust automated unit and system-level tests to ensure reliability and stability.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to define requirements, assess risks, and deliver features on time and within budget.
• Document system architecture and data flow, and support team growth through mentorship and process improvement.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (advanced degree a plus).
• 2+ years of professional experience developing software in Python or C++, ideally for robotics or automation.
• Strong grasp of kinematics, control systems, motion planning, and real-time software concepts.
• Experience with ROS, Linux, Docker, Git, and modern development tools (e.g., CMake, databases).
• Proven ability to deliver commercial software through multiple SDLC phases, including testing and deployment.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with experience in agile or distributed team environments.
