Staff Software Engineer, Sensing Systems

Job description

Job requirements

• 8+ years of professional software engineering, including owning a production system end to end: you designed it, shipped it, and fixed it when it broke.
• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Strong Python. You build services and tools other engineers depend on, not just scripts and notebooks.
• Comfort with Linux, Docker, networking and CI. You can get a multi-service system running on hardware you've never touched before.
• Real leverage from AI coding tools such as Cursor or Claude Code, with a considered view on what to delegate to them and what not to.
• Grounding in the physical world, whether from an engineering degree, hands-on work with hardware, sensors or robotics, or field time with systems that had to work outside the lab.
• An appetite for field work. You want to be on site when your code runs, and you can debug and ship a fix before the next flight.
• A habit of measuring rather than guessing: you build the experiment, then trust the data.
