About this role

AeroVect seeks a Platform Engineer to build and maintain the Linux-based software foundation for autonomous ground handling vehicles. You'll optimize the ROS 2 stack, manage custom Ubuntu distributions, develop hardware drivers for multi-sensor systems, and ensure production-ready reliability across real-time autonomous vehicle workloads.

What you'll do

  • Design and maintain custom Ubuntu/Linux distributions for real-time, safety-critical autonomous vehicle operations
  • Optimize ROS 2 DDS middleware for low-latency, high-throughput multi-sensor data flows
  • Develop and integrate kernel modules and user-space drivers for LiDAR, cameras, radars, GNSS/INS, and CAN interfaces
  • Implement observability, logging, and monitoring solutions for system health and performance in lab and field deployments
  • Harden production platform with security patches, secure boot, and over-the-air update pipelines
  • Own CI/CD pipelines for OS images and drivers; provide on-call support during field trials and customer pilots

What they're looking for

  • Linux kernel development and configuration (systemd, networking, package management)
  • C/C++ and Python programming, including kernel module and driver development
  • ROS 2 (or ROS 1) in production or research environments
  • Real-time performance tuning and profiling tools (perf, eBPF, tracing)
  • Communication protocols and buses (USB, Ethernet, CAN, PCIe, SPI, I2C)
  • Docker/OCI containers and automated build systems (Yocto, Buildroot)
  • Git version control and CI/CD pipeline management
  • Hardware interface debugging and embedded systems optimization
