ARA is seeking a highly skilled and innovative Staff Robotics Engineer 1 - Robotics Simulation and Embedded Systems Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in computer science and C++ development, coupled with hands-on experience in robotics, electronics, and PCB design. This role involves developing robust C++ software for both virtual simulation and real-world embedded hardware, from the circuit board to the high-level control systems. This position is located in San Antonio, TX. US Citizen required with ability to obtain a Secret Security Clearance.

  • C++ Software Development: Design, implement, and optimize high-performance, real-time C++ code for embedded systems, robotics control, and simulation infrastructure.
  • Modeling and Simulation: Create, maintain, and optimize virtual models and simulation environments to test, validate, and refine robotic systems and algorithms before physical deployment.
  • Robotics Integration: Develop software frameworks (e.g., ROS/ROS2) and algorithms for controlling and integrating various robotic subsystems, including sensors, motor controllers, and actuators.
  • PCB and Electronics Design: Collaborate with hardware teams to design, prototype, and debug printed circuit boards (PCBs) for embedded systems. This includes schematic capture, layout, and component selection.
  • Hardware-Software Integration: Be the bridge between software and hardware. Participate in board bring-up, write firmware, and troubleshoot complex system issues across hardware and software interfaces.
  • Data Analysis: Analyze data from both simulations and physical hardware to optimize performance and debug system behavior.
  • Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Programming Proficiency: Expert-level proficiency in modern C++ (C++11/14/17 or higher) for embedded and real-time systems.
  • Robotics Experience: Demonstrated experience in robotics software development, including motion planning, perception, and control systems.
  • Simulation Skills: Experience developing or working with simulation environments (e.g., Gazebo, Unity, Unreal Engine) for robotics applications.
  • Electronics Knowledge: Hands-on experience with embedded systems, microcontrollers (e.g., ARM), and communication protocols (e.g., I2C, SPI, CAN bus).
  • PCB Design Experience: Practical knowledge of PCB design principles and experience with design tools like Altium Designer, KiCad, or Eagle.
  • Problem-Solving: Excellent analytical and troubleshooting skills to diagnose issues across complex hardware and software systems.
  • Experience with hardware description languages (HDLs) such as Verilog/System Verilog.
  • Familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS) like FreeRTOS or VxWorks.
  • Experience with hardware integration in a production environment.
  • Portfolio showcasing hands-on projects involving C++ programming, robotics, and PCB design.
  • Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
  • Opportunities for training and development
  • Challenging work environment that encourages innovation and experimentation
