Missions
- Assurer la fiabilité des systèmes robotiques, des PLCs à ROS2/middleware en passant par Kubernetes.
- Construire des interfaces pour le système d'observabilité afin d'ingérer la télémétrie des systèmes de contrôle et robotiques.
- Écrire des frameworks et des outils de code pour soutenir les systèmes de contrôle et robotiques, y compris les outils de diagnostic.
Profil recherché
- Problem Solver. Solving complex puzzles excites and motivates you to find an efficient solution- Systems Thinker. Focused on understanding the relationship among various systems to design sustainable solutions, not one-time fixes
- Strong Communication. You can run a war room, write a post-mortem, and explain a reliability tradeoff to a stakeholder
- T-Shaped Skill Set. Comfortable with bare metal Kubernetes, networking, GitOps workflows, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Also skilled in programming in TypeScript, Python, Golang, or C++
- Ownership. Someone who has owned the reliability of a production system where downtime had physical or operational consequences (manufacturing line, autonomous vehicle, lab automation, network operations)
- You've built automated or self-healing remediation at scale. We want systems that remove humans from the loop
- Background in edge/on-prem infrastructure. You’ve run Kubernetes at the edge (k3s, k0s, k0smotron), managing on-prem clusters, time-series at the edge, or air-gapped deployments. A deep understanding of Linux operating system fundamentals such as cgroups, sockets, and system tuning, is a big plus
- Deep understanding of shipping and storing telemetry data at scale. Experience with Kafka/MQTT/RabbitMQ is a plus
- Direct robotics experience. ROS/ROS2, OPC UA, EtherCAT, motion controllers, or fleet management for autonomous systems
- An individual who is self-directed and can deliver with high velocity
