About the role

At ARX Robotics you will help ensure that complex robotics software moves reliably from development to deployment. As a Software Release Engineer, you will play a key role in coordinating software releases, maintaining configuration integrity across robotic platforms, and supporting the scalability and reliability of our robotics software ecosystem.

This role combines release management, configuration control, and hands-on software engineering. You will work closely with robotics software, hardware, QA, and deployment teams to deliver stable, reproducible, and well-documented software releases powering next-generation autonomous ground systems.

What You’ll Build

• Plan and coordinate software releases, ensuring alignment with project timelines and milestones.
• Maintain and update compatibility matrices across hardware platforms, middleware, and software versions.
• Contribute directly to the robotics software stack, including ROS2 nodes, middleware integration, and C++ modules.
• Create, maintain, and review technical documentation related to releases, configurations, and deployment procedures.
• Manage tasks and workflows using Jira, supporting agile development cycles and sprint planning.
• Collaborate with software, hardware, and QA teams to identify integration issues and mitigate release risks.
• Support automated build, versioning, and release pipelines for reproducible and reliable software delivery.

What You Bring

• Academic background in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical field
• Experience in software release management, configuration management, DevOps, or similar engineering functions
• Strong understanding of ROS2, C++, and robotics middleware integration
• Experience working with Git, CI/CD pipelines, automated builds, and modern software delivery workflows
• Familiarity with agile development processes and tools such as Jira and sprint-based planning
• Strong organizational skills with attention to detail and configuration consistency across complex systems
• Experience creating and maintaining technical documentation for engineering and operational teams
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across multidisciplinary environments
• Understanding of software integration challenges in robotics, embedded systems, or distributed platforms is beneficial
• Experience with compatibility management, package management, deployment tooling, or release risk assessment is a plus
