Robotics Software Engineer

Robotics Software Engineer
Location : Riviera Beach, FL
Duration : Long term- Permanent
Industry : Aerospace Defense
Job Overview
We are seeking a talented Robotics Software Engineer to design, develop, integrate, test, and maintain software for advanced robotic systems. The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience with C++, Linux, ROS, Git, and containerization technologies such as Docker or Podman.
In this role, you will work across the software development lifecycle-from requirements analysis and architecture through implementation, integration, testing, debugging, and deployment. You will collaborate closely with robotics, controls, simulation, AI/perception, and hardware teams to develop reliable software solutions for complex mission and engineering applications.
Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, integrate, test, and debug software for robotic systems and applications.
• Develop robust software solutions using C++ in a Linux-based environment.
• Develop and integrate robotics applications using ROS (Robot Operating System).
• Apply software engineering best practices throughout the complete development lifecycle.
• Use Git for source code management, version control, and collaborative development.
• Build, deploy, and manage software using Docker and/or Podman containers.
• Analyze software requirements, system capabilities, interfaces, and technical specifications.
• Troubleshoot and resolve software defects, integration issues, and system-level problems.
• Develop technical documentation, software design documentation, test procedures, and operating instructions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to integrate software with robotic hardware and external systems.
• Develop and execute unit, integration, and system-level testing.
• Ensure software development follows established engineering standards, processes, procedures, and quality practices.
• Support continuous improvement of development, integration, testing, and deployment processes.

Required Qualifications / Non-Negotiable Skills
Candidates must have hands-on experience with:

C++ Software Development

Linux

ROS / Robot Operating System

Git / Version Control

Docker or Podman / Containerization

Strong experience developing software for robotics, embedded systems, autonomous systems, or complex engineering applications is highly preferred.
Preferred / Strongly Desired Skills

• Python development
• Windows development environment
• Qt / Qt Framework
• AI / Machine Learning / Perception
• LLMs and AI-enabled applications
• TensorFlow and/or PyTorch
• Physics-based simulation / Digital Twin
• Controls engineering
• MATLAB
• Closed-loop control analysis
• CI/CD pipelines and automated software testing
• Hardware and system I/O, including:
  • Serial communication
  • Ethernet
  • Digital interfaces
• Experience integrating software with robotic sensors, actuators, controllers, and other hardware

What We're Looking For
The ideal candidate is a hands-on software engineer who can work effectively at the intersection of robotics, software, hardware, and simulation. You should be comfortable troubleshooting complex technical problems, working in a collaborative engineering environment, and taking software from development through integration and testing.
Experience with autonomous robotics, AI/perception, simulation, controls, or hardware integration will be a strong advantage.
Education & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline preferred.
• Relevant professional experience in software engineering, robotics, autonomous systems, or a closely related field.
• Equivalent combinations of education and hands-on engineering experience may be considered.
