We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Edge Systems to own the software layer between our drone and swapper hardware and the rest of the stack. This is a Pittsburgh-based, hands-on role built around one core idea: shortening the feedback loop between software changes and real hardware. You'll work across the full robotics software stack, including mobile applications, diagnostics and observability infrastructure, communication between the robotics platform and central compute, OTA update systems, and cloud synchronization. When a production issue comes in, you’ll be the person who can walk to the hardware, reproduce it, and fix it, without waiting on remote resources or a slow debugging cycle.

Responsibilities

Own and improve the software stack supporting the drone and swapper platform, including mobile applications, diagnostics, communications, configuration management, and OTA update systems
Investigate and resolve production issues that require direct hardware access, turning around fixes with minimal latency
Build and improve logging and diagnostics infrastructure that makes the system observable and easier to debug across mobile, cloud, and robotics layers
Collaborate daily with Mobile, Autonomy, Backend, and QA teams to ship reliable software across the full system
Own features end-to-end from investigation through deployment, including support for customer-facing issues in production
Contribute to the long-term architecture of a unified software platform supporting both drone and swapper systems

Requirements

5+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping and supporting production systems
Mobile application development experience in Swift (iOS preferred) and/or Kotlin (Android a plus)
Strong debugging skills across complex, multi-component production systems, with the ability to independently investigate ambiguous failures
Solid networking fundamentals including REST APIs, TCP/IP, WebSockets or MQTT
Comfort working directly with hardware during development and debugging, not just in simulation or emulation

Nice to have

Experience with robotics, embedded systems, or hardware-integrated software
Linux development or debugging experience
Familiarity with OTA update systems, device management, or cloud synchronization for distributed devices
CI/CD experience for mobile or embedded applications
