Relativity Space is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to shape the core software that interfaces with their multi-robot manufacturing system, building production-grade systems that control and coordinate real-world robotics hardware.
Requirements
- Production-quality C, C++ and Python or Rust with a strong focus on modularity, clarity, and testability
- Experience working on robotics, embedded systems, perception pipelines, or similar real-world platforms
- Knowledge of designing and implementing robust state machines and system-level orchestration
- Familiarity with ROS2, or deep experience working with ROS nodes and message-passing systems
- Experience integrating real-time sensor data from vision, LiDAR, or thermal systems
- Background in perception pipelines, multi-robot coordination, or HIL environments
- Proficiency with build systems like CMake and infrastructure tools like Docker
Responsibilities
- Shaping the core software that interfaces with multi-robot manufacturing system
- Defining patterns, building reusable libraries, and building out and transforming prototypes into production-grade systems
- Working across the stack, focusing on system orchestration, state machines, data handling, and integration with perception, motion, and thermal systems
- Writing the software that controls a system of robots merging perception, automation and additive manufacturing
- Test writing and debugging are core to this role
- Building clean, modular systems in C++ and Python that serve as the foundation for all STARR software
- Collaborating well across disciplines and communicating clearly with hardware, ML, and controls teams
Other
- Collaborate well across disciplines and communicate clearly with hardware, ML, and controls teams
- Comfortable defining structure in early-stage systems and working independently toward high standards
- Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (not explicitly mentioned but implied)
- Generous PTO and sick leave policy, parental leave, an annual learning and development stipend, and more
