About the role
We’re 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.
What you'll bring
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping and supporting production systems
- 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
- 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
- Mobile application development experience in Swift and/or Kotlin
- iOS preferred
- Android a plus
