What You’ll Build
- Enhance and optimize our core robotics software stack by integrating new hardware, drivers, and capability updates.
- Test and validate complete robotic platforms across all critical communication layers, including CAN bus, Ethernet, and wireless networks.
- Conduct hands-on verification in lab facilities and active field environments to evaluate durability and operational readiness.
- Reproduce, investigate, and root-cause complex technical bugs, partnering directly with software and systems engineers to implement lasting solutions.
- Build automated diagnostic scripts and testing utilities (using Python or Bash) to streamline repetitive workflows and increase coverage.
- Provide high-impact technical guidance and troubleshooting support to internal teams and external customers during field deployments.
- Refine testing frameworks, verification checklists, and issue escalation workflows to maintain high standards of system quality.
- Collaborate across cross-functional engineering groups to maintain seamless integration across all vehicle subsystems.
What You Bring
- Practical experience testing, troubleshooting, and diagnosing integrated hardware, software, and robotics systems.
- Strong proficiency in C++ along with hands-on experience using ROS 2 in development or testing environments.
- Practical knowledge of network and communication protocols such as CAN, Ethernet, TCP/UDP, and serial interfaces.
- Working knowledge of Linux operating systems, shell navigation, and diagnostic scripting in languages like Python or Bash.
- Familiarity with engineering tools such as Git, Docker, and packet analysis tools like Wireshark.
- Foundational understanding of embedded systems, microcontrollers, and sensor/actuator integration.
- A curious, systematic approach to problem-solving across both software logic and physical hardware components.
- Clear communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical issues constructively to teammates and partners.
- Professional working proficiency in English (German language skills are a valuable asset).
