You will design and build the software foundations that connect sensing, planning, control, and actuation so robots can operate reliably and autonomously on-device, independent of cloud services.\nYou will provide technical leadership across robotics architecture, platform integration, and developer workflows. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of robotics, embedded systems, real-time computing, and AI, with responsibility for turning advanced algorithms into dependable capabilities on Arm-powered products.\nKey Responsibilities\nRobotics architecture and systems integration\nArchitect and implement modular robotics software that integrates sensors, state estimation, planning, control, and actuators.\nDefine stable interfaces and system boundaries across the autonomy stack, middleware, operating system, and hardware accelerators.\nLead integration of robotics components into production-ready reference platforms and customer-facing demonstrations.\nDeveloper experience and platform tooling\nBuild APIs, SDKs, and reusable components that make robotics capabilities straightforward to develop, configure, and deploy.\nImprove workflows for simulation, on-target testing, calibration, logging, replay, and over-the-air component updates.\nCreate observability and diagnostic tools that expose timing, resource use, faults, and robot behavior across distributed components.\nReal-time performance, reliability, and safety\nOptimize end-to-end latency, determinism, memory use, and throughput across CPUs and heterogeneous accelerators.\nDesign systems that tolerate sensor degradation, communication faults, resource contention, and changing operating conditions.\nEstablish testing, validation, and engineering practices that support maintainable, safe, and robust robotic behavior.\nTechnical leadership and collaboration\nPartner with controls, perception, AI, hardware, product, and customer teams to define requirements and system architecture.\nLead design reviews, mentor engineers, and drive resolution of complex cross-stack technical issues.\nContribute reference implementations, documentation, examples, and upstream improvements that advance the robotics ecosystem on Arm.\nVital Skills and Experience\n6+ years of experience designing and building robotics, autonomous systems, or embedded software used in real-world environments.\nProficiency in modern C++ and Python, with strong software design, debugging, and code-quality practices.\nStrong understanding of:\nRobotics middleware and communication patterns, including ROS 2 or comparable systems\nCoordinate frames, timing, synchronization, calibration, and sensor and actuator interfaces\nLinux-based and real-time systems, concurrency, IPC, and distributed component lifecycles\n3+ years of experience leading architecture or integration work across multiple parts of a robotics stack.\nStrong fundamentals in algorithms, data structures, numerical methods, and performance optimization.\nDemonstrated ability to diagnose system behavior across application, middleware, operating-system, and hardware layers.\nExcellent technical judgment, communication, collaboration, and mentoring skills.\nPreferred Skills and Experience\nExperience with navigation, manipulation, motion planning, or autonomous mobile robots.\nExperience with simulation, software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, and automated robotics testing.\nFamiliarity with AI and perception inference pipelines deployed on embedded or edge systems.\nExperience with heterogeneous computing across CPUs, GPUs, NPUs, or DSPs.\nKnowledge of functional safety, fault management, secure boot, isolation, or device attestation.\nContributions to open-source robotics platforms, middleware, drivers, or developer tooling.\nExperience working with partners or customers to move robotics prototypes into production.\nWhy this role matters\nRobots must combine complex software and hardware while meeting strict requirements for latency, reliability, safety, and power. A strong robotics platform lets teams focus on differentiated behavior instead of repeatedly rebuilding integration infrastructure.\nIn this role, you will shape how advanced robotics workloads run on Arm-powered devices across industrial, commercial, and consumer applications. Your work will help developers build capable physical systems that respond intelligently to the real world.\nWe are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment. Please contact us to request accommodation.\nIn Return:\nYou will have the opportunity to work on important technical challenges in AI and platform engineering as part of a growing team in Seattle. This position offers a chance to contribute to core platform capabilities. You’ll work alongside skilled colleagues from various subject areas and help invent the way new AI services are built and scaled at Arm.\nIn addition to meaningful technical work, Arm offers an environment that values thoughtful engineering, collaboration, and continuous learning. This opportunity suits someone who enjoys solving complex systems problems, working across teams, and contributing to technology important to the future of AI at Arm.\nAdditional Information\nPlease note that a relocation package (including visa sponsorship assistance) is offered for this role, for candidates who need it.\nWe are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.
