Employer description & source details
Origin Autonomy is looking for a versatile, hands-on software engineer to join our growing team. You will work across embedded Linux systems, networking stacks, robotic middleware, and cloud-connected services. This role demands strong fundamentals, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to learn quickly — not just familiarity with buzzwords. Design and implement robot boot-up sequences and service orchestration to ensure reliable, deterministic system bring-up. Configure and manage Linux networking — TCP/IP stack, HTTP, iptables, ARP, DHCP, DNS —for robot-to-cloud and inter-robot communication. Manage Docker-based deployment and runtime environments on robot and cloud infrastructure. Write and maintain system administration tooling and bash scripts for fleet management and diagnostics. Collaborate closely with robotics, perception, and application teams to integrate platform capabilities. Establish and enforce best practices around Git workflows, branching strategies, and code review. Lead and mentor a small platform engineering team — set technical direction, conduct code reviews, and drive execution. All candidates must demonstrate solid, hands-on competency in every item listed below. File I/O — read, write, seek, memory-mapped files Multi-threading — pthreads, mutexes, condition variables, thread safety Socket communication — TCP/UDP sockets, select/poll/epoll Basic data structures & algorithms — stack, heap, queue, linked list General comprehension ability — reading technical manuals, datasheets, and RFCs; searching documentation independently Git — CLI usage, branching, merging, rebasing, conflict resolution Candidates with hands-on experience in the majority of the following areas will be strongly preferred. C++ programming — C++17, OOP, templates, STL Common n
