Senior Robotics Software Engineer
RC Mowers•Suamico, WI
•Onsite
About The Position
We build full-size commercial autonomous robots that mow large properties without an operator in the seat. They run in real terrain — wet grass, dust, heat, GPS dropouts, unstructured environments — for municipalities, DOTs, and commercial contractors across North America. Our machines ship today, and they work. What this category becomes over the next decade is still being written — we plan to write most of it. We're hiring a senior ROS2 engineer to help us do it.
Requirements
- Strong production ROS2 experience — not a class, not a side project; you've shipped and maintained ROS2 software that users depend on
- Solid C++ and/or Python; comfort moving between them
- Experience with at least one of: fleet management/distributed systems at scale, or computer vision and sensor fusion in real-world conditions
- A sense of when to build, when to integrate, and when to throw something out
- The judgment to operate as a senior IC: you scope your own work, push back when the spec is wrong, and ship without needing to be managed
- Clear technical writing — design docs, postmortems, code review comments that move the team forward
Nice To Haves
- Outdoor or off-road robotics experience (agricultural, construction, defense, mining, AMR)
- Production computer vision in unstructured environments
- OTA update systems, fleet telemetry pipelines, remote operations tooling
- Embedded Linux, real-time systems, or low-level controls experience
- GPS-denied or GPS-degraded localization
- Work that's been deployed at meaningful scale (hundreds-plus units)
Responsibilities
- Develop and ship ROS2 features that enhance machine behavior and unlock new capabilities
- Build out our fleet management layer — telemetry, OTA, remote ops, fleet-wide observability
- Work on perception, sensor fusion, and decision-making in unstructured outdoor environments
- Collaborate directly with mechanical, electrical, and controls engineers — and with the technicians who validate and field-test what you build
- Make architectural calls that affect what the platform can do two and three years out
- Help shape how we hire, review, and scale the software team as we grow
Benefits
- health, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) with company match
- paid vacation and sick leave
- disability, life, and accident insurance
