Senior Software Engineer

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the LatticeOS team, where you will design and develop the core platform services, middleware, and operating system components running onboard autonomous vehicles and edge devices. You will collaborate closely with hardware, autonomy, and application teams to create a highly reliable, performant, and secure platform that abstracts complex hardware and networking into clean software interfaces.

What you’ll do

• Design and implement core components and middleware for LatticeOS running onboard autonomous vehicles and edge devices.
• Develop robust, fault-tolerant distributed systems that can operate reliably over denied, degraded, or intermittent communications links.
• Create interfaces, APIs, and tooling that enable internal teams and third-party partners to integrate seamlessly with LatticeOS through the Lattice SDK.
• Collaborate with autonomy and hardware teams to ensure diverse physical platforms can reliably run and interact with the core operating system.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a relevant field, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of professional software development experience, with a focus on systems programming, distributed systems, or robotics.
• Deep experience with C++, Rust, or similar systems programming languages.
• Proficiency with protocol design, serialization, and implementation (e.g., gRPC, Protobuf, Zenoh, DDS).
• Experience building software solutions involving high-throughput data processing, transport, or system orchestration.
• Excellent collaboration skills and the ability to work across multiple cross-functional engineering teams.
• A desire to work on critical infrastructure software that has a real-world impact.
• US Persons: Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience developing operating systems, middleware, SDKs, or developer platforms.
• Background in developing systems for defense, aerospace, robotics, or other mission-critical applications.
• Familiarity with software development for embedded systems, Linux internals, or resource-constrained environments.
• Strong understanding of distributed communication networks, routing, and modern messaging standards.
