Software Architect

As the Software Architect for robotic systems, you will lead the design and development of scalable, modular, and maintainable software architecture. Your primary responsibility will be to ensure seamless integration across various subsystems such as perception, motion control, and AI. You will collaborate with engineering teams to define and enforce software architecture principles, best practices, and standards, ensuring consistency and high quality in all software components. You will evaluate and select appropriate technologies, frameworks, and tools to ensure system scalability, performance, and maintainability. Your role will involve designing software systems that can handle complex real-time constraints, ensuring low latency and high reliability in robotic operations. It will be essential to ensure that the architecture supports system expansion, enabling the easy integration of new features and capabilities as the robotics platform evolves. In this position, you will define clear interfaces between software components and ensure smooth integration with hardware, middleware, and external systems. You will lead the transition to more modular and flexible systems by implementing microservices, component-based designs, or similar architectures. Collaboration with cross-functional teams, including robotics, AI, perception, and control, will be crucial to ensure that the software architecture meets the needs of various stakeholders. As a mentor and technical leader, you will provide guidance to engineering teams, helping them understand and adhere to architectural principles and best practices. You will conduct architecture reviews, design reviews, and code reviews to ensure software design quality and maintainability. Continuous monitoring and optimization of system performance will also be part of your responsibilities, ensuring that software scales efficiently with increasing complexity and resource demands. To excel in this role, you should have proven experience in designing scalable, high-performance software architectures for complex systems, ideally with robotic, autonomous, or real-time systems. Strong expertise in software architecture principles, design patterns, and best practices for modular and maintainable software is essential. Proficiency in programming languages such as C++, Python, or similar, with a deep understanding of low-level and high-level design principles, will be beneficial. Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and performance optimization for embedded platforms is also desirable. Overall, you will need skills in design patterns, architecture and system design, system integration, microservices, embedded systems, C++, Python, performance optimization, real-time operating systems (RTOS), modular software design, robotic systems, AI integration, and software architecture. Staying current with trends and emerging technologies in robotics, software architecture, and distributed systems will be necessary to apply relevant innovations and improve system design effectively.,
