C++ Software Engineer (m/f/d) Platform Infrastructure

The Robotics & Mechatronics Teams at Agile Robots are looking for a C++ Software Engineer (m/f/d) Platform Infrastructure, who will help build and maintain the C++ platform infrastructure our robot runs on. You will help us ensure it runs reliably and safely once it is out of the lab and in production. Responsibilities • Platform Development: Develop and maintain modern C++ software components for the robot's Linux-based platform infrastructure. • Communication & IPC: Build and maintain the IPC and communication interfaces that connect robot applications, backend services, and hardware-facing components. • Debugging & Diagnostics: Debug concurrency, timing, memory, performance, and system-integration issues across the platform. • Testing Infrastructure: Build unit, integration, and hardware-oriented test infrastructure for platform components. • Reliability & Observability: Improve system reliability through better diagnostics, logging, fault handling, and recovery mechanisms. • Hardware Integration: Test and integrate software on real robotic hardware, working with firmware, control, backend, QA, and DevOps engineers when problems cross those boundaries. Essential Skills • Background: Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of training and experience, with initial professional experience building production C++ software, typically up to about three years and excluding internships or working-student positions. • Modern C++: Hands-on experience writing C++ using modern practices (C++17/C++20), gained through professional work, internships, or substantial project experience. • Systems Programming: Working understanding of Linux system programming — processes, threads, synchronization, IPC, and sockets — along with asynchronous programming concepts. • Debugging: Practical debugging experience using tools such as GDB, sanitizers (ASan/TSan/UBSan), or Valgrind, applied to problems that span multiple interacting software or hardware components. • Testing: Experience writing automated tests with frameworks such as GoogleTest, including meaningful unit and integration test coverage. Beneficial Skills • Robotics & Industrial Background: Experience with robotics, industrial automation, or embedded systems, including industrial communication protocols such as EtherCAT, CAN, or similar. • Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing: Experience with hardware-in-the-loop, simulation, fault-injection, or other automated system-testing approaches. • Embedded Linux: Experience with real-time or performance-sensitive Linux systems, or with the deployment side of embedded Linux. • Python Tooling: Experience using Python for testing, automation, or developer tooling. • AI-Assisted Development: Experience using AI-assisted development tools, combined with critically reviewing and validating the generated output. What we offer • A dynamic high-tech company, combined with financial soundness and world-class investors. • Join an interdisciplinary, international team with 60+ different nationalities in a collaborative work environment. • Lots of development opportunities as we continue to grow. • Challenging tasks and impactful projects alongside experts that enable professional and personal growth. • Corporate Benefits Program covering health, mobility, and learning for 100€ net per month. • Modern office facilities with a rooftop terrace overlooking Munich, free drinks & fruits, and regular company events contribute to a good working environment About us Agile Robots SE is an international high-tech company based in Munich, Germany with a production site in Kaufbeuren and more than 3500 employees worldwide. Our mission is to bridge the gap between artificial intelligence and robotics by developing systems that combine state-of-the-art force-moment-sensing and world-leading image-processing technology. This unique combination of technologies allows us to provide user-friendly and affordable robotic solutions that enable intelligent precision assembly. This is made possible by our employees, who bring out the best in each and every day with creativity and enthusiasm. Become part of this team and shape the future of robotics with us!
