Own the architecture and implementation of features critical to EdgeOS and EdgeOS RT middleware. Develop runtime services and abstractions that operate across Linux, real-time operating system, and resource-constrained computing platforms. Design and develop the tooling used to evaluate, observe, and debug autonomous systems. Contribute to and extend EdgeOS Language, Hivemind’s interface definition language, which defines how data is represented within autonomous systems, between agents, and with third-party systems. Collaborate closely with autonomy, systems, simulation, and test engineers to deliver capabilities from initial design to integration. Raise the engineering bar though design and code reviews, technical guidance, documentation, and mentorship.

Strong proficiency in C++11 or newer in a production environment. Experience designing, developing, and debugging multithreaded systems. Experience developing software for real time operating systems and embedded platforms. Strong understanding of systems programming concepts, including concurrency, memory management, resource constraints, and performance optimization. Experience writing automated tests and clear technical documentation.
Experience with C++17 or newer standards. Experience writing MISRA C++ or comparable coding standards for safety-critical or airborne systems. Experience with systems engineering design principles and requirements. Experience software assurance frameworks such as DO-178C. Familiarity with ROS2 or similar robotics frameworks.
