For the past decade
, my client has been building safety-critical autonomous software deployed across autonomous mobility, robotics, marine, agriculture, automotive, and defense Industries. They’re currently looking for a Senior Application Engineer with expert C++ engineering and real-world deployment solutions.
You’ll help customers successfully implement complex, safety-critical software while influencing how the product evolves. This is not back-office support—you’ll be hands‑on with production systems that matter.

- Deploy software to customer environments and support integration efforts
- Collaborate with internal engineering teams to diagnose issues and influence product improvements
- Troubleshoot complex behavior in embedded, real‑time, or distributed systems
- Work directly with customer engineering teams to guide architecture and implementation
- Communicate technical findings clearly to both internal and external stakeholders
- Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
- 5+ years of professional C++ software development experience
- Strong debugging, problem‑solving, and systems‑thinking skills
- Experience working with version control systems (Git/Git Lab or similar)
- Comfort operating in embedded, real‑time, or production‑critical environments
- Strong communication skills and customer‑facing confidence
- Background in automotive, robotics, aerospace, industrial, or safety‑critical systems
- Familiarity with networking or messaging systems (UDP, multicast, DDS, ROS, etc.)
- Prior experience in solutions engineering, professional services, or customer deployments
- Exposure to build systems such as Bazel or CMake
Backed by strategic investors including:
- Jaguar Land Rover / InMotion Ventures
