Staff Robotics Engineer, AV Core

Lead integration into the shared driving stack, align technical decisions across teams, and raise the bar through architecture reviews, mentoring, and clear communication of risks, trade-offs, and evidence.

Use your judgement and expertise to improve the overall robustness of the robot system (beyond just fault detection and fallback).

Essential

Robotics: Proficiency in developing, implementing, and troubleshooting robotics solutions, backed by practical, real-world experience.

A track record of staff-level technical leadership: setting direction for ambiguous programmes, aligning multiple teams, and carrying work from research through production deployment.

Exceptional technical judgement and communication: able to make safety-relevant trade-offs explicit, define the evidence needed for decisions, and lead without relying on formal authority.

Experience with Python and C++ for robotics.

Desirable

Operating robotics in the real world at scale: Proven experience in deploying and maintaining fleets of robots or vehicles under real-world conditions.

Developing tooling to triage and debug robotic systems: Ability to create and refine data collection and analysis tools.

Cloud infrastructure for monitoring: Experience setting up cloud-based monitoring solutions for large-scale fleets, including dashboards, logging, and real-time alerts.

Knowledge of embedded / real-time systems: Familiarity with low-level hardware interactions and real-time constraints for safety-critical applications.
