The role

This individual contributor role involves technical leadership for the complete robot communication stack. You will define architectural direction for real-time drive buses, middleware, industrial fieldbus protocols, fleet cloud connectivity, and the Neuraverse Developer SDK.

What you will do

  • Responsible for the architectural line of the complete Robot-Communication-Stack.
  • Define and maintain the review process for the interface between RT-OS-Scheduling and the EtherCAT-Master.
  • Take over governance for gRPC-Control-APIs including standards for Proto-contracts and versioning.
  • Set DDS and ROS2-Middleware standards across all platforms.
  • Provide architectural direction for the protocol stack for industrial fieldbus integration.
  • Drive quarterly cross-team reviews for State-Machine and API designs.
  • Lead quarterly Knowledge Days in the cluster.
  • Write design documents to reduce knowledge concentration.
  • Mentor Senior Engineers towards Staff Level.
  • Drive sourcing for new hires in the cluster.

Required qualifications

  • Hands-on experience with EtherCAT-Master-Stacks on productive robot hardware (SOEM, EtherLab or comparable).
  • Practical experience with IEEE 1588 / PTP-Hardware-Clock-Synchronisation on real hardware.
  • TSN-Stack-Konfiguration: 802.1Qbv/Qav/AS.
  • Deep DDS-Middleware expertise (FastDDS or comparable).
  • Experience in gRPC / Protobuf-API-Governance on a cross-team level.
  • Very good knowledge of the ROS2-Middleware-Stack.
  • Design of operative robot State-Machines for safety-critical systems.
  • C++17/20 under RT-Constraints.
  • Demonstrable architectural influence across multiple teams.
  • Leadership of RFCs or design documents with cross-team reach.
  • Mentoring track record of at least one person towards Senior or Staff Level.
  • 8+ years practical engineering experience with focus on Embedded real-time systems and Robot-Communication-Middleware.

Nice to have

  • Implementation of industrial fieldbus protocol stacks (PROFINET-Device-Stack, EtherNet/IP-Adapter, Safety-Bus-Design).
  • Fleet-Robotics-Platform-Engineering (OTA-Pipelines, VDA-5050-Missionsprotokoll, Fleet-Telemetry).
  • Developer-SDK-Design for external developers.
  • Open-Source-Contributions in the area of Robotics-Communication-Infrastructure (FastDDS, ros2_control, SOEM or comparable).
