Job Description:

We are building a new Robotics business at Aptiv, focused on Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and Drones for warehouse, industrial, and adjacent markets. As a Robotics Software Architect, you will be the technical backbone of this effort, defining the end-to-end software architecture that powers autonomy, safety, and connectivity across platforms. You will work closely with product management, hardware/SoC teams, and engineering partners to turn PoCs into scalable, reusable architectures that can be deployed across multiple customers and robot form factors.

Job Responsibility:

  • Own the overall software architecture for AMR and drone platforms, from sensors to perception, localization, planning, safety, and cloud connectivity
  • Define platform architecture based on ROS 2 / middleware, real-time OS, and Linux, ensuring modularity, scalability, and re-use across programs
  • Partition functionality across onboard compute (SoCs, MCUs) and offboard services, including edge and cloud where appropriate
  • Define and maintain clear APIs and interfaces between perception, mapping/localization, planning, control, safety, and fleet/enterprise systems
  • Lead architecture reviews, design decisions, and trade-offs (safety vs. performance, cost vs. capability, CPU/GPU/NPU offload, etc.)
  • Provide technical direction to software teams implementing autonomy, perception, and safety features
  • Mentor senior and junior engineers on architectural best practices, coding standards, and design patterns for robotics systems
  • Collaborate with embedded compute teams to map robotics workloads to heterogeneous compute (CPU, GPU, NPU, DSP)
  • Architect the software stack to meet relevant functional safety standards (e.g., IEC 61508, ISO 13849, ISO 10218, ISO 3691-4, ISO 12100 – as applicable to AMRs/industrial robots)
  • Define safety concepts and software patterns (safety monitors, watchdogs, safe states, redundancy, diagnostics)
  • Collaborate with safety engineering to develop and maintain safety cases, hazard analyses, and FMEAs for software
  • Drive architectural strategies for robustness, resiliency, observability, and over-the-air updates
  • Define how simulation (e.g., Gazebo / Isaac / Webots / custom) fits into the development flow – from algorithm prototyping to regression and scenario testing
  • Work with DevOps/Tools teams to shape CI/CD pipelines, testing strategy (HIL/SIL/MIL), and performance benchmarks for robotics software
  • Evaluate and integrate open-source components and third-party SDKs, ensuring license compliance, maintainability, and fit to architecture
  • Translate customer/partner requirements into technical architecture and system requirements
  • Support PoCs and demos with partners (e.g., AMR OEMs, drone OEMs, industrial automation vendors), ensuring architectural alignment with the long-term platform vision
  • Contribute to technical roadmaps, build-vs-buy decisions, and ecosystem strategy (ROS 2 distributions, middleware vendors, safety toolchains, etc.)

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
  • 8+ years of experience in robotics or embedded software development, with at least 3–5 years in a software architect / technical lead capacity
  • Hands-on experience building and deploying software for real robots (AMRs, AGVs, drones, industrial arms, or similar)
  • Deep understanding of ROS / ROS 2, including nodes, topics, services, actions, parameters, launch, and packages
  • Experience designing systems involving several of the following: Perception (vision, lidar, radar, depth, multi-sensor fusion)
  • Mapping & Localization (2D/3D SLAM, VIO, VSLAM, VO, sensor fusion)
  • Planning & Navigation (global and local planners, obstacle avoidance, trajectory generation)
  • Real-time control loops and low-level robot interfaces (motor drivers, IMUs, encoders, etc.)
  • Solid understanding of Linux-based systems, containerization (Docker/Podman), and networked middleware (DDS or similar)
  • Proven ability to write clear architecture documents, sequence diagrams, and interface definitions consumable by cross-functional teams

Nice to have:

  • Experience with industrial / mobile robotics in logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, or similar environments
  • Familiarity with functional safety and safety development lifecycles (IEC 61508, ISO 13849, ISO 26262 or related standards)
  • Experience with heterogeneous compute (e.g., Qualcomm, NVIDIA, TI, Renesas, or similar SoCs) and hardware acceleration of perception/ML workloads
  • Prior work with simulation environments (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, Webots, custom in-house) and scenario-based testing
  • Understanding of wireless connectivity and edge offload (Wi-Fi, 5G, TSN, low-latency links) in robotics systems
  • Exposure to cloud integration (telemetry, remote monitoring, OTA updates, digital twins, data pipelines)
  • Experience in start-up or incubation environments, building something from scratch under ambiguity
