Staff Software Engineer leading the architecture and evolution of core robotics software systems at Brain Corp, with primary ownership of the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), telemetry systems, and C++ middleware. The role involves re-architecting foundational software to improve modularity, scalability, and performance on autonomous mobile robots, including hardware bring-up for sensors (LiDARs, cameras, IMUs), middleware migration from Python to C++, and system optimization across latency, throughput, and resource efficiency. This is a highly hands-on and strategic position requiring leadership of technical direction, mentorship of engineers, and close collaboration with hardware, autonomy, and applications teams. Requires 7+ years of software engineering experience with proven expertise in robotics systems, embedded platforms, or HAL design.
