Staff Software Architect (Robotics & Artificial Intelligence)

Join our Robotics & AI Software Team as a Staff Software Architect. You will lead the design and architecture of our software systems, focusing on real-time robotics control, planning/optimization, and generative AI/autonomous agents. You will be responsible for defining system-level designs, architecting end-to-end solutions, and establishing best practices across teams. The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, AI/ML, or a related field, with 5+ years of professional experience, including architecture/design experience.

• Lead the design and architecture for the Robotics & AI Software Team, defining system-level designs for real-time robotics control, planning/optimization, and generative AI.
• Own the system architecture for multithreaded C++ and Python applications, architecting end-to-end solutions from design through production deployment.
• Establish CI/CD, containerization, build systems, automated testing, code quality, and engineering best practices across teams, driving continuous improvement.

• Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Robotics, AI/ML, or related field with 5+ years of professional experience, including architecture/design experience
• System architecture experience: design scalable, reliable, integrated software systems
• Expert proficiency in modern C++ (C++17 or newer) and Python; strong multithreaded, real-time, and performance-sensitive software design
• Strong Git, documentation, technical leadership, and cross-functional collaboration
• End-to-end GUI experience: design/architect operator-facing applications for monitoring, diagnostics, and control
• Infrastructure/deployment architecture: CI/CD, automated testing, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), build systems (CMake), debugging, production-grade delivery
• Ability to lawfully access information and technology subject to U.S. export controls
• Robotics & Control: ROS/ROS2, MoveIt, kinematics/dynamics, trajectory generation, industrial automation/mechatronic integration
• Planning & Optimization: SAT/SMT, combinatorial optimization, constraint programming, PDDL/planners, open-source planning/scheduling libraries, cloud-native/scalable architecture
• Generative AI & Agents: LLMs/multimodal models, agentic patterns (function calling, reasoning loops, autonomous error correction), frameworks (LangGraph/LangChain/LlamaIndex), vLLM/PyTorch/HuggingFace, production multi-agent systems, inference optimization, MLOps, model monitoring/reliability, ethical AI/compliance
• Domain & Credentials: Advanced manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, robotics; Master’s/Ph.D. with publication/open-source record; C#/TypeScript; experience leading medium-to-large architectural initiatives
