The role demands expertise in C++, Python, ROS/ROS2, FastDDS or other DDS implementations, and strong knowledge of real-time communication protocols as well as hands-on experience with robots and IoT devices.\nArchitect and implement DDS-based middleware, ensuring robust, scalable, and real-time data exchange for robotic and IoT systems.\n\nDesign, develop, and optimize core frameworks and software libraries for middleware infrastructure, supporting autonomy, perception, and control subsystems.\n\nMentor a team of engineers, promoting best practices in software development and integration for robotics.\n\nCollaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, perception, controls) to define requirements, debug system-level issues, and achieve reliable distributed system performance.\n\nManage integration and deployment of middleware frameworks such as ROS/ROS2 with DDS (e.g., FastDDS), ensuring compatibility and real-time QoS.\n\nContribute to toolchains and CI/CD pipelines for rapid development, testing, and release of robotic middleware solutions.\n\nEvaluate and select appropriate industrial protocols for communication (MQTT, OPC-UA, DDS) depending on system requirements like latency, reliability, and scalability.\n\nWhat we can look forward to\nAdvanced proficiency in C++ and Python for system development and infrastructure scripting.\n\nDeep understanding of DDS (Data Distribution Service) and practical experience with a variant like FastDDS.\n\nExpertise with ROS and ROS2 middleware, including integrating custom DDS implementations as ROS2 backends.\n\nIn-depth knowledge of real-time communication protocols and distributed systems in robotic and IoT domains.\n\nSignificant experience working directly with robots and IoT device integration, including sensor and actuator frameworks.\n\nFamiliarity with containerization, CI/CD, and development workflow automation.\n\nStrong problem-solving and debugging abilities for multi-platform integration and performance optimization.\n\nGood to have: knowledge of cloud native microservices\n\nExperience with middleware performance tuning and QoS policy management in DDS.\n\nKnowledge of security and access control in DDS-based robotic environments.\n\nExperience in industrial communication protocols and IIoT system integration.\n\nLeadership in high-performance team settings, especially in scaling and enabling development culture.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2665,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Robotics
