About this role
About the role At Gravis, we build high tech systems that give machine operators superhuman capabilities. To adapt in real time to changes in the environment the Gravis Rack fuses data from LiDAR, cameras, GNSS, and hydraulics into an autonomous control system. The robotics platform team builds the software foundation for our robots to enable non stop operation in the harshest environments. We ensure all algorithms execute correctly, based on a rock solid communication layer and world class introspection capabilities. We provide all the tools to deploy, develop and debug the most powerful robots on earth.
As a Senior Robotics Platform Software Engineer, you will help shape and implement our vision of a scalable, safe and high performing robotics platform. You will gather requirements from internal customers, architect the communication layer, node orchestration and lifecycle management as well as APIs to off-machine systems. The main focus will be on the design, implementation and maintenance of essential parts of the on-robot platform, contributing to open source projects where feasible. With your experience, you will provide guidance for junior and mid-level engineers in our organisation.
What you'll do • Collaborate closely with engineers from other teams to derive requirements and help to shape our robotics platform
• Design, build and maintain parts of the robotics platform, e.g. health monitoring and machine configuration management. Guide junior team members to support your endeavors
• Monitor external dependencies and alternatives to assess potential issues or improvements
• Influence, nurture and grow our engineering culture
• Contribute upstream to open source software projects to close gaps in required functionality
What you need to know • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in Software Engineering, Robotics Development or similar roles
• Strong Software Engineering skills and solid experience with related tooling (e.g. clangd, cargo, pyrefly)
• Strong programming skills in a systems language like C++ or Rust, Python is nice to have
• Experience with middleware (iceoryx2, DDS, AUTOSAR Adaptive) and IDLs (FlatBuffers, Protobuf)
Bonus Qualifications Don't meet every requirement? We still want to hear from you. These are nice-to-haves, not dealbreakers:
• Experience working on safety-critical systems and the respective software development processes
• Experience in developing a production grade robotics system
• Track record of open source contributions
• Experience using Rust in a production environment

RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
