Job Summary
In this position, you will develop robust C++ software components for our robotics platform and improve system architecture while collaborating closely with various teams and mentoring junior engineers.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Agile Robots SE is transforming advanced robotics research into reliable industrial solutions. Our Robot Group develops the full software stack for our robotic systems, from low-level system integration, real-time communication, Linux-based platform services, and hardware abstraction layers up to developer tooling and user-facing interfaces.
- We are looking for a Senior C++ Software Engineer to join our Platform Team. In this role, you will work on the core software infrastructure that enables our robots to run reliably, safely, and efficiently in production environments. You will contribute not only as an experienced developer, but also as a technical owner who improves architecture, code quality, maintainability, and engineering practices across the team.
- Design, implement, and maintain robust C++ software components for robotics platform infrastructure.
- Work on Linux-based system software, runtime services, communication layers, configuration handling, logging, diagnostics, and developer tooling.
- Build reliable interfaces between robot applications, backend services, operating system components, containers, and hardware-facing services.
- Contribute to real-time and near-real-time data processing pipelines, considering latency, determinism, resource usage, and failure behavior.
- Improve system reliability through better error handling, observability, logging, monitoring, recovery mechanisms, and testing.
- Review and improve software architecture with a focus on maintainability, scalability, modularity, and clear ownership.
- Write high-quality, testable C++ code using modern C++ practices.
- Define and improve APIs used by other internal teams and components.
- Support integration with real robotic hardware and investigate complex issues across software, OS, network, and hardware boundaries.
- Mentor other engineers through code reviews, design discussions, pair programming, and technical guidance.
- Collaborate closely with firmware, control, backend, DevOps, QA, and application teams.
- Help define technical standards, development workflows, and long-term platform direction.
