ppWe are hiring a Robot Platform SWE /ppStart date: ASAP /ppZürich, Switzerland (on-site, remote not possible) /ppFull-time (100%) /ph3Your role /h3pRobotics is the ultimate full-stack challenge. It combines heterogeneous compute, real-time guarantees, and AI models in a box that has to work unsupervised in the field for weeks. You will work on the backbone of our development cycle to make this a reality. You will ensure that the code runs safely, deployments are atomic, and we have the best tools to troubleshoot and roll-back when it goes wrong. /ph3What you'll be doing /h3ulliMaintain and improve the onboard Linux stack including kernel tuning, real-time patches (PREEMPT_RT), resource isolation (cgroups), and host metric collection /liliIntegrate the software and hardware by ensuring that the drivers communicate seamlessly and deterministically (udp/tcp, CAN, serial) /liliDesign and maintain CI/CD pipelines for multi-arch builds and secure OTA updates using Docker and Ansible /liliEstablish good engineering practices, ranging from hardware-in-the-loop test frameworks and memory safety checks to code guidelines /li /ulh3What you should have /h3ulli3+ years in a professional SWE environment, preferably in Robotics, Automotive, or Aerospace /liliStrong systems programming (modern C++) and experience in Python /liliKnowledge of Linux such as the networking stack, systemd, security/hardening, performance profiling /liliExperience in software building (CMake, Cargo, Docker) and infrastructure automation (Ansible, Terraform) or SW deployment (Docker, debs) /liliExperience in test automation (unit tests, integration tests) /liliComfortable contributing across different domains /li /ulh3These skills are a plus: /h3ulliExperience in Rust, ROS2, Zenoh /liliExperience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and simulation-in-the-loop (SIL) testing /liliWorked on integrating and debugging real hardware: sensors, actuators, motor drivers,... /liliExperience with NVIDIA Jetson /li /ulpAs the first dedicated platform engineer, you will have a massive impact on our engineering culture. As the team grows, you can remain a high-impact generalist and work across all layers of abstraction or specialize and lead individual subsystems. /ppDon't worry if you don't hit every check-mark. We value engineers who care about reliability and have the curiosity to dig deep when things break. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
