Description
About the Role
At ARX Robotics, you will shape the communication backbone of next-generation autonomous robotic systems. As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will design and optimize the in-system networks that enable reliable, secure, and high-performance interaction between electronic control units across our robotics platform.
You will work closely with systems, hardware, electrical engineering, and software teams to define robust communication architectures that scale across complex autonomous systems. Your work ensures that every component of the platform communicates seamlessly, safely, and efficiently throughout the full development lifecycle.
What You’ll Build
- Design and optimize in-system communication networks such as CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, and Automotive Ethernet for robust ECU communication
- Define and maintain communication architectures, signal mappings, and data flows across robotic and embedded systems
- Collaborate with hardware, software, and EE architecture teams to ensure consistent interface design and system integration
- Develop and implement secure communication mechanisms, including SecOC and end-to-end protection, in collaboration with cybersecurity stakeholders
- Ensure communication systems meet requirements for performance, scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency
- Validate compliance with relevant standards and engineering best practices, including AUTOSAR and ISO 26262 where applicable
- Support system integration and testing teams in diagnosing and resolving complex communication issues
- Contribute to system-level architecture decisions and continuous improvement of communication strategies across the platform
- Enable robust data exchange between distributed robotic subsystems operating in real-world environments
- Help shape the communication foundation of autonomous systems deployed in demanding operational scenarios
What You Bring
- Master's degree in systems engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field
- 8–10+ years of experience in network, communication, embedded, or systems engineering roles
- Strong expertise in automotive or robotics communication protocols such as CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, and Ethernet
- Experience with AUTOSAR Classic or Adaptive is highly desirable
- Solid understanding of system architecture, requirements engineering, and interface management
- Familiarity with development processes such as V-model and ASPICE
- Experience working with safety-critical standards such as ISO 26262 or IEC 61508 is a plus
- Hands-on experience with debugging and analysis tools such as CANoe, CANalyzer, or Wireshark
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to system-level detail
- Proven ability to collaborate effectively in multidisciplinary and international engineering teams
Please note: You do not need to meet every single requirement to apply. We welcome motivated candidates who are eager to grow into the role and develop their expertise further.
