Mid to Senior Platform Engineer – Robotics & Embedded Systems

Onsite – San Jose, CA (1–3 years post-graduation experience required)

H-1B transfers accepted. Senior/Staff levels may be considered for remote.

A fast-growing robotics company in the agriculture and autonomy sector is expanding its core engineering team. We’re supporting them in hiring a Platform Engineer who can work across C++, ROS 2, and embedded hardware to help build reliable, production-grade robotic systems operating in challenging real-world environments.

What You’ll Work On

• Develop and maintain core platform software in modern C++ for robots deployed in the field.
• Build and integrate ROS 2-based components, including node interfaces, middleware interactions, and system orchestration.
• Write, extend, and debug device drivers interacting with sensors, cameras, and other physical hardware.
• Collaborate closely with robotics, perception, and autonomy teams to deliver stable, real-time systems.
• Contribute to system-level debugging, performance tuning, and hardware–software integration.
• Support continuous improvement of development tools, CI/CD pipelines, and internal platform infrastructure.

What You Bring

• 1–3 years post-graduation industry experience (or equivalent high-level project/academic work).
• Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++14/17/20).
• Hands-on experience with ROS 2 (rclcpp, DDS, launch system, node lifecycle).
• Experience writing or integrating device drivers or low-level interfaces for sensors/embedded systems.
• Solid understanding of Linux, systems programming fundamentals, and real-time constraints.
• Ability to work onsite in San Jose, CA.

Bonus Experience

• Exposure to robotics platforms (agriculture, autonomy, mobile robotics, or similar).
• Experience with embedded compute units, CAN bus, Ethernet, or camera systems.
• Familiarity with perception pipelines or hardware bring-up.
• Ability to contribute across the software stack when needed.

Why This Role Matters

You’ll be joining a company that is scaling real-world robotic deployments across agriculture — solving autonomy challenges at massive outdoor scale. This role directly impacts system reliability, performance, and the overall platform that enables autonomy teams to ship fast and safely.
