Who this role is best for

Strong fit for systems-level engineers who design and deploy software in aerospace and robotics contexts, with a focus on Linux, Rust, and C++ environments.

Best fit for

  • Candidates with systems-level programming experience in Rust or C++ and a background in aerospace or robotics
    — “2+ years systems-level programming experience in Rust and/or C++”
  • Individuals who have worked with Linux in production environments, including networking and performance management
    — “Experience working in environments where software is deployed and used on a daily basis in production”

Things to consider

  • 10% travel requirement may not be suitable for candidates seeking remote-only arrangements
    — “Must be willing to travel 10% of the time.”
  • Non-U.S. citizens may face restrictions due to export control compliance requirements
    — “This position requires access to information that is subject to U.S. export controls.”

How to stand out

  • Emphasize your ability to design and maintain distributed systems and messaging protocols
    — “Experience with distributed systems and messaging protocols”
  • Showcase projects where you integrated hardware and software systems in a complex environment
    — “Drive integration of complex third-party hardware and software systems into the Reliable Robotics autonomy platform”
  • Demonstrate proficiency with AWS infrastructure and its services during interviews
    — “Proficiency with deploying and managing infrastructure in AWS, and developing systems that interact with AWS services”
  • Include specific examples of networking concepts you have implemented, such as UDP/IP or NAT
    — “Fluency with networking concepts such as UDP/IP, NAT, sockets, and routing”

About the role

Original posting from Reliable Robotics via Ashby

We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods — and eventually people — move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

As a Mission Systems Software Engineer, you will be a part of the team responsible for building the software systems and infrastructure that enable efficient operations, testing, and maintenance of autonomous aviation systems.

You’ll develop and maintain software products running on Linux environments across the aircraft, control center, and cloud. Your work will directly support the development and operation of the Reliable Robotics autonomy system.

Responsibilities

  • Define the architecture of the airborne, ground, and cloud systems that support aircraft communications, fleet operations, and data management
  • Develop, debug, and deploy software across the entire stack, from embedded systems and Linux platform software up to the application layer
  • Drive integration of complex third-party hardware and software systems into the Reliable Robotics autonomy platform
  • Ensure high performance and reliability of software systems that will be used on a daily basis in both R&D and production environments

Basic Success Criteria

  • B.S. Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience
  • 2+ years systems-level programming experience in Rust and/or C++
  • Experience working in environments where software is deployed and used on a daily basis in production

Preferred Criteria

  • Practical industry experience deploying software to and using Linux in production, including networking, containerization, and profiling/performance management
  • Proficiency with deploying and managing infrastructure in AWS, and developing systems that interact with AWS services
  • Fluency with networking concepts such as UDP/IP, NAT, sockets, and routing
  • Experience working on software that drives hardware systems
  • Experience with distributed systems and messaging protocols

A highly reliable communication system is required in order to safely remove the pilot from onboard any aircraft. At Reliable, you will have the opportunity to build systems that span aircraft hardware, mission infrastructure, and command centers to realize this vision.

Must be willing to travel 10% of the time.

This position requires access to information that is subject to U.S. export controls. An offer of employment will be contingent upon the applicant’s capacity to perform in compliance with U.S. export control laws.

All applicants are asked to provide documentation that legally establishes status as a U.S. person or non-U.S. person (and nationalities in the case of a non-U.S. person). Where the applicant is not a U.S. person, meaning not a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful permanent resident, (iii) refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or not otherwise permitted to access the export-controlled technology without U.S. government authorization, the Company reserves the right not to apply for an export license for such applicants whose access to export-controlled technology or software source code requires authorization and may decline to proceed with the application process and any offer of employment on that basis.

At Reliable Robotics, our goal is to be a diverse and inclusive workforce. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, creed, ancestry, sex, gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, or related medical conditions), gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, non-disqualifying physical or mental disability or medical conditions, national origin, military or veteran status, genetic information, marital status, or any other basis covered by applicable law. All employment and promotion is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit, and business need.

If you require reasonable accommodation in completing an application, interviewing, completing any pre-employment testing, or otherwise participating in the employee selection process, please direct your inquiries to work@reliable.co
