Sr. Robotics Software Engineer

As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer at Aurelius Systems, you will work on the Archimedes robotics stack, writing production code across perception, control, and autonomy. You will champion QA and CI/CD practices to ensure reliable fielded software, collaborating closely with the Lead and Principal Software Engineers. Your work directly impacts the development of autonomous directed energy systems for counter-UAS.

Responsibilities

• Hands-on development across the robotics software stack from perception, control, and autonomy
• Championing QA practices and test coverage alongside Erick and the Principal, embedding quality into how the team works rather than bolting it on
• CI/CD infrastructure and deployment hygiene for robotics and hardware-in-the-loop
• Writing and maintaining the automated tests and tooling that catch failures before the range does
• Code review and raising the quality bar across the robotics SWE team
• Cross-functional work across perception, controls, embedded, and EE

Requirements

• 5+ years of robotics software engineering with real shipped systems behind you
• Strong hands-on development chops. You're a builder first, and you write production code that runs on real hardware
• ROS2 experience and the judgment to know when not to use it
• Experience building or operating CI/CD for robotics or hardware-in-the-loop systems
• A genuine ownership mentality toward quality. You've seen what bad test discipline costs in the field and you fix it without being asked

Nice to have

• Real-time systems experience
• Sensor fusion or perception background
• Defense or safety-critical software release experience
• Built test automation frameworks for robotics or hardware-in-the-loop systems before

Benefits

• Competitive salary + equity
• United Health Care medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Flexible 18 days PTO + 5 sick days
• Travel to field test events and range days
• Covered daily lunches and office snacks + drinks
• E-bike / scooter stipend (Up to $500)
• Direct access to leadership and real ownership over your work
