Software Engineer
  (multiple positions open)

Primary Function

We are building a team to develop, improve, and extend the ROS
software platform. ROS is the kernel of a "robotics commons," a shared
resource from which we all benefit and to which we are all welcome to
contribute.

Thanks to generous grant funding, we have the opportunity to spend the
next few years making substantial contributions to ROS. Our work will
be focused by the development of a next-generation robotics middleware
("ROS 2.0"). Under that umbrella effort, topics of interest include:

    robot application development with mobile and web clients;
    use of ROS in production environments;
    multi-robot systems;
    cross-platform portability (including embedded systems); and
    code quality and maintainability.

Roles and Responsibilities

    Develop Python and C++ tools and libraries.
    Develop mobile and web applications.
    Full lifecycle application development.
    Support, maintain and document software functionality.
    Software testing and quality assurance.

Skills / Job Requirements

    BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or equivalent.
      Compensation commensurate with education and experience.
    Several years of software development experience.
    Extensive knowledge of C++ and/or Python (ideally both).
    Extensive knowledge of Linux environments.
    Experience with ROS or other robotics software.
    Experience designing and developing user- and developer-friendly
software systems.

Nice to Have’s

    Experience with middleware systems.
    Experience with real robots.
    Experience developing and maintaining open-source software.
    Experience developing in Android, Java, Javascript, HTML5, and/or iOS.
    Experience developing for embedded systems, Windows and/or OSX.

Application Material
