Analog builds robots that work in the real world, deployed for governments and enterprises and tested right here in our office. Every one of them runs on a computer inside its body. We need someone to own that computer: the operating system, the drivers, the updates, and the performance on a small board. If you’ve ever built a robot on top of an NVIDIA Jetson, this is a rare chance to do it at the heart of a company building something that doesn’t exist yet.

What we’re looking for, and why

Someone who loves the layer between hardware and software. Our robotics engineers are building grasping, navigation and more, and all of it depends on a solid foundation underneath. We need a senior person who knows that foundation inside out, so everyone else can build on it with confidence.

What you’ll be working on

Owning the full Linux operating system on the robot’s onboard compute, built on NVIDIA Jetson
Bringing up and maintaining the sensors: GMSL2 / V4L2, Ethernet LiDAR and audio drivers
Building reproducible Linux images and getting OTA updates safely onto deployed robots
Managing containers, networking and firewall on the robot
Profiling and squeezing performance out of limited compute (CPU, GPU, memory, bandwidth, power)
Setting up system logging on the robot, so when something breaks in the field we can see exactly what happened and fix it fast

What makes this role different

You’re not tuning a demo board on a bench. Your work runs on real robots, in the field and down the hall, and when a camera driver breaks, you’ll see it on a robot the same day. Engineering here is flat, so you’ll work directly with the robotics engineers who depend on your platform, with no layers in between.

Skills we need

5+ years in embedded Linux, including NVIDIA Jetson (JetPack, L4T)
Hands-on with GMSL2 / V4L2 / Argus camera pipelines
Working with and debugging a vendor BSP (device tree, kernel drivers)
Ethernet LiDAR and audio drivers
Reproducible Linux images, networking and firewall
Containers and managing them on the robot
OTA updates for deployed devices
Resource budgeting, benchmarking and profiling (Nsight, tegrastats)
ROS 2 / DDS, C++, Python

Nice to have:

Model optimisation for Jetson (TensorRT, quantisation, CUDA)
Yocto or custom Ubuntu builds, secure boot, embedded security
Robotics or automotive sensor platforms

What we’re not looking for

Microcontroller or firmware-only engineers; this role is Linux-based
Generic embedded or IoT engineers without Jetson-class boards and sensor pipeline experience
Sysadmin or IT profiles; this is low-level, hands-on engineering
Anyone who wants to manage rather than build
