About the Role
We are looking for a Robotics Software Architect Engineer to strengthen the internal software structure of our robotic platforms. This role focuses on defining clean code structures, architectural patterns, UML modeling, requirements traceability, and ensuring compliance with certification-driven development processes.
You will work hands-on with development teams to improve modularity, maintainability, and long-term robustness of our robotics software stack.
What You’ll Build
- Define and refine the internal software architecture of robotic applications.
- Design modular and maintainable code structures with clear layering and dependency control.
- Create and maintain architectural documentation using UML (component, sequence, state, and deployment diagrams).
- Ensure alignment between requirements, architecture, and implementation.
- Support traceability between requirements, design artifacts, and test cases.
- Define and enforce software design principles and coding guidelines.
- Review software designs and major refactorings from an architectural perspective.
- Contribute to certification-oriented development (documentation completeness, structural clarity, verification readiness).
- Improve long-term maintainability and scalability of the codebase.
- Collaborate closely with developers to translate architecture into practical implementation.
What You Bring
- Strong experience designing scalable software architectures and structured system designs
- Deep expertise in modern C++ and software engineering best practices
- Experience creating architectural models and technical documentation using UML or similar methodologies
- Solid understanding of modular software design, interface definition, and clean architecture principles
- Experience working in requirement-driven engineering environments with strong focus on traceability and maintainability
- Familiarity with certification-aware development processes and safety-oriented engineering standards
- Understanding of software quality, reliability, and long-term maintainability in complex systems
- Ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary engineering teams and align software architecture with system-level requirements
- Structured problem-solving mindset with strong attention to technical detail and system integration
- Experience in robotics, embedded systems, distributed systems, or safety-critical environments is beneficial
Please note: You do not need to meet every single requirement to apply. We welcome motivated candidates who are eager to grow into the role and develop their expertise further.
