Responsibilities

As a Senior Software Architect, you will be responsible for:

Owning the software architecture of our autonomous systems, defining how components, modules, and onboard software fit together from sensor input to effector output
Taking algorithms developed by our GNC and autonomy specialists and embedding them into robust, real-time capable software built on ROS 2, C++, and Python
Defining interfaces, module boundaries, and architectural standards so embedded, GNC, and ground system teams can build, integrate, and evolve safely
Driving quality from design to delivery, through testing, integration, and deployment on hardware, and raising engineering standards through design reviews, code review, and mentoring (including occasional lab or field support)

Requirements

Technical skills
- Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience, plus 5+ years of professional software development.
- Proven experience designing and owning complex software architectures, from system decomposition to interface and module design
- Strong C++ skills for performance-critical and real-time software
- Strong Python skills for integration, tooling, and prototyping
- Hands-on experience with ROS 2 (nodes, topics, services, actions) and building robotic software on top of it
- Solid Linux experience, including development, debugging, and deployment on Linux-based systems
- Experience integrating algorithms from domain experts (e.g. control, estimation, perception) into maintainable production software. You won't design the algorithms, you'll make them run reliably
Soft Skills
- Strong software craftsmanship: clear architectural documentation, testing, code review, and the ability to explain technical decisions to engineers across disciplines.
- Ownership mindset, you take responsibility for the architecture end to end and follow problems across component boundaries until they're solved

Nice to Have

Experience with software delivery: build systems, packaging, release management, and deployment to target hardware
Familiarity with MAVLink, PX4, ArduPilot, or similar vehicle/autopilot frameworks
Prior work in robotics, autonomous systems, aerospace, defense, or industrial control software
