Company

hirify.global develops connected machines, software, autonomy, AI, and physical systems for safer, more productive, and more sustainable jobsites.

What you will do

• Own assigned robotics platform capabilities from architectural vision through technical design, implementation, integration, validation, and deployment.
• Design platform components, APIs, interfaces, message and data flows, deployment patterns, acceptance criteria, and reference implementations.
• Develop shared middleware, runtime services, inter-process communication, developer frameworks, and reusable software components.
• Design onboard and edge execution solutions involving containers, accelerated compute, resource management, observability, lifecycle management, and real-time execution.
• Partner with engineering teams to resolve design issues, evaluate trade-offs, and ensure adherence to architecture, interface contracts, and quality expectations.
• Support simulation, software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, prototype-machine, and production-oriented validation environments.

Requirements

• Knowledge of platform architecture principles and experience designing reusable platform capabilities, interfaces, services, and deployment patterns within an established architecture.
• Knowledge of software and solution architecture methods, including converting functional and nonfunctional requirements into component designs, interfaces, APIs, and technology choices.
• Ability to analyze complex technical problems, evaluate alternatives, and make decisions based on performance, reliability, scalability, safety, cost, and delivery considerations.
• Ability to translate product, machine, engineering, and operational needs into platform requirements, technical designs, and measurable acceptance criteria.
• Systems-thinking skills across complex cyber-physical systems, including dependencies, ownership boundaries, and cross-system trade-offs.
• Experience with robotics platforms or middleware using ROS 2, DDS, messaging, runtime services, component lifecycle management, or comparable distributed robotics frameworks.
• Experience designing APIs, component boundaries, interfaces, data flows, deployment patterns, and reusable software architectures.
• Understanding of latency, concurrency, reliability, quality of service, fault handling, observability, resource utilization, and distributed or real-time communication.
• Experience with Linux-based edge computing, containers, GPU or accelerated computing, resource management, and embedded or robotic deployments; experience with C++ and/or Python, CI/CD, automated testing, source control, and Agile delivery.
• Progressive experience in software engineering, solution architecture, or platform architecture, preferably in robotics, autonomous systems, embedded systems, or other cyber-physical products.
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts, provide implementation guidance, resolve cross-team issues, and influence delivery without direct authority.

Nice to have

• Experience with robotics, autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, heavy equipment, Physical AI, or another cyber-physical domain.
• Experience integrating perception, planning, controls, machine interfaces, AI and machine learning capabilities, and platform services in autonomous or robotic systems.
