Senior Autonomy Integration Engineer

About the role

The Autonomy Integration team ensures that all integration activities across the product development organization succeed. In the world of complex robotic systems, unforeseen complications and responsibility gaps are inevitable. We are a team of tenacious problem-solvers who use our diverse engineering backgrounds to bridge these gaps, providing critical capacity during the rollout of new features. Our goal is to identify, communicate, prioritize, and resolve integration issues so our partner teams can keep moving forward. Additionally, we own the ongoing configuration management of the robotic system.

Responsibilities

• Implement solutions to close integration gaps and solve problems blocking integration progress
• Debug complex system issues spanning multiple teams and hardware/software domains
• Produce configurations and related tests for new platforms, leading the integration efforts for new platforms
• Design, implement, and execute tests to detect regressions and validate system stability
• Drive cross-functional alignment and prioritization by clear communication on integration issues and blockers
• Apply systems-level thinking to view complex robotics challenges holistically, diagnosing how software modules, hardware components, and network interfaces interact to cause failures
• Navigate seamlessly between different levels of abstraction—zooming out to architect system-wide fixes and zooming in to debug low-level component code as the problem demands

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a related field and 4+ years of relevant experience (or Master's degree and 2+ years of relevant experience, or PhD)
• Strong software proficiency, particularly in python and C++
• Tenacious attitude to resolving problems and finding root causes
• Willingness to embrace changing priorities in a dynamic environment
• "Team-first" mentality with a strong desire to collaborate across organizational boundaries to untangle issues
• Commitment to clear, precise communication when working with technically diverse stakeholders
• Exceptional systems-thinking capabilities: a proven ability to look at a sprawling robotics problem, connect the dots across multiple domains, and engineer a cohesive solution
• Capacity to operate fluidly across levels of abstraction, moving comfortably from high-level system architecture design down to deep-in-the-weeds algorithmic debugging

Qualifications

• Experience with robotics, automation, and/or autonomous systems
• Knowledge of software development methodologies and tools
• Experience with testing and debugging complex systems
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary environment

Skills

• Python programming
• C++ programming
• System-level debugging and troubleshooting
• Collaboration and communication skills
• Systems-level thinking and problem-solving
