The Senior Software Engineer joins the LatticeOS team to develop the foundational software-defined operating system powering autonomous systems, sensors, and third-party integrations. You will design and implement core platform services, middleware, and operating system components that run onboard autonomous vehicles and edge devices. Key responsibilities include building robust, fault-tolerant distributed systems capable of operating over denied or intermittent communications links, as well as creating APIs and tooling for the Lattice SDK. You will utilize C++, Rust, gRPC, Protobuf, Zenoh, and DDS to manage high-throughput data processing and system orchestration. This role solves the technical challenge of abstracting complex hardware and networking into clean software interfaces to ensure reliable, real-time execution and seamless hardware-software integration in demanding operational environments.
