About the Role

The Senior Embedded C++/Rust Software Engineer (Safety Critical) will support high-priority autonomous robot systems at a major warehouse automation client through development, 61508 certification, and field testing phases.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop and maintain novel robotic systems
Work directly with the client on the architectural design of complex systems
Collaborate on a cross-functional team to find innovative solutions to challenging problems
Deliver solutions that balance performance and reliability
Come up to speed rapidly on system components including networking, security, navigation, obstacle detection, motor control, and safety-related sensors
Execute in accordance with technical direction from senior team members as well as work independently on assignments
Leverage AI tooling to streamline development and unit testing
Develop diagnostics, test code, and utilities to support safety certification
Support documentation and field testing activities

Requirements:

Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics or related discipline preferred, or equivalent years of experience
5+ years experience designing, developing, and testing production-level embedded software in C++ and/or Rust for safety critical systems
Understanding of real-time concepts, thread synchronization, memory management, and performance tuning on Linux
Proficiency with Linux, including device drivers, multicore systems, and real-time Linux
Proficiency with real-time operating systems (RTOS)
Experience with modern SDLC processes (unit testing, static analysis, CI/CD)
Knowledge of microcontroller programming and hardware interfaces
Understanding of memory constraints and optimization techniques
Familiarity with modern software development tools (Git, SVN, or other industry-standard source control)
Experience using Agile techniques, including task/issue management
Demonstrated commitment to high quality
Strong oral and written communication skills
Highly motivated, self-disciplined, independent and results oriented

Desired Experience:

Experience with industrial safety standards, particularly IEC 61508, and designing software for functional safety
