Senior Robotics Software Engineer

RC Mowers USA · Wisconsin, United States · 1 mo ago
On-siteEngineeringFull-time

About the role

We build full-size commercial autonomous robots that mow large properties without an operator in the seat. They run in real terrain — wet grass, dust, heat, GPS dropouts, unstructured environments — for municipalities, DOTs, and commercial contractors across North America.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and ship ROS2 features that enhance machine behavior and unlock new capabilities
  • Build out our fleet management layer — telemetry, OTA, remote ops, fleet-wide observability
  • Work on perception, sensor fusion, and decision-making in unstructured outdoor environments
  • Collaborate directly with mechanical, electrical, and controls engineers — and with the technicians who validate and field-test what you build
  • Make architectural calls that affect what the platform can do two and three years out
  • Help shape how we hire, review, and scale the software team as we grow

Requirements

  • Strong production ROS2 experience — not a class, not a side project; you've shipped and maintained ROS2 software that users depend on
  • Solid C++ and/or Python; comfort moving between them
  • Experience with at least one of: fleet management/distributed systems at scale, or computer vision and sensor fusion in real-world conditions
  • A sense of when to build, when to integrate, and when to throw something out
  • The judgment to operate as a senior IC: you scope your own work, push back when the spec is wrong, and ship without needing to be managed
  • Clear technical writing — design docs, postmortems, code review comments that move the team forward

Qualifications

  • Bonus points for outdoor or off-road robotics experience (agricultural, construction, defense, mining, AMR)
  • Production computer vision in unstructured environments
  • OTA update systems, fleet telemetry pipelines, remote operations tooling
  • Embedded Linux, real-time systems, or low-level controls experience
  • GPS-denied or GPS-degraded localization
  • Work that's been deployed at meaningful scale (hundreds-plus units)

Skills

Strong production ROS2 experience, solid C++ and/or Python skills, experience with fleet management/distributed systems or computer vision and sensor fusion, clear technical writing, and a sense of when to build, when to integrate, and when to throw something out.

Benefits

Health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) with company match, paid vacation and sick leave, and disability, life, and accident insurance.

Pay

Compensation commensurate with experience.

Schedule

Full-time, In-Person, Suamico, WI.
