Your Impact
You will contribute to Axon’s product line as part of the Axon Robotics / Sky-Hero by Axon team (https://www.axon.com/products/axon-sky-hero). We are building career-defining, next-generation Drones and Robots to help reach our Moonshot: cut gun-related deaths between police and the public by 50% in 10 years.
Our products are used by tactical teams worldwide in the most challenging conditions, and as a Sr. Embedded Software Engineer, Robotics, you’ll contribute to advance Axon’s mission to Protect Life, by building advanced, Mission-Critical Embedded Robotics Software running on powerful, albeit resource-constrained Linux Systems.
Development environments include C/C++, Rust, Python, Yocto and ROS2. We don’t rely on off-the-shelf platforms or electronics. We choose the best of technology and build innovative products that include tailored software, hardware, sensors and electronics.
You’ll solve difficult challenging problems in Embedded Systems programming, using your knowledge to architect, design, implement and debug complex multi-core Robots with advanced perception capabilities and high levels of autonomy.
