About the role

Maven Robotics is building the world's leading general-purpose AI robots.
We are currently operating in stealth and are growing the world's best team in AI robotics. We are looking for self-starters that are the world's best in their field, who can innovate from a deep understanding of the fundamentals, and who share our values of unwavering truth seeking and integrity, humility, curiosity, and relentless determination.

Collaborate with hardware engineers to design, develop, and optimize high performance safety-critical systems.
Develop and adapt device drivers for hardware peripherals (e.g. GPIO, EtherCAT, SPI).
Build tools to monitor, verify and optimize real time system performance, ensuring deterministic behavior.
Contribute to a deterministic and reproducible build and test environment for efficient development.
Develop robust solutions for over-the-air (OTA) updates, calibration management and software deployment strategies.
Maven Robotics is building the world's leading general-purpose AI robots.
Collaborate with functional safety engineers to ensure compliance with relevant safety standards and support audit and traceability requirements.

Experience with safety-certifiable RTOSes (e.g. PX5, ThreadX, SafeRTOS).
Expertise in OS fundamentals, including real-time scheduling and memory management.
Strong understanding of ARM 64 hardware architecture.
Experience with multicore SoCs, interprocess/intercore communications and atomic operations.
Production experience with communication protocols (e.g. Ethernet, EtherCAT, CAN)
Proficiency in low level programming (C, assembly)
Hands-on experience with development tools including oscilloscopes, hardware debuggers and high speed tracing techniques (e.g. HSSTP).
Familiarity with functional safety (FuSa) concepts, MISRA compliance and related standards.
Self-starter attitude with strong ability to identify problems, prioritize them, then plan and execute working solutions.

Knowledge of ARM SIMD/NEON architecture extensions.
Proficiency in additional programming languages (e.g. C++, Python, Rust, Golang).
Experience with multi-language build systems (e.g. Bazel, Bob).
Familiarity with ROS 2 middleware and alternatives (Eg.
FastDDS, CycloneDDS, Zenoh).
Experience with Docker, and related containerization tools.
