Stillingsbeskrivelse
****About Six Robotics****
*At Six Robotics, we build intelligent software that gives Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) the ability to collaborate, adapt on the fly, and execute missions that were previously impossible. From our base in Oslo, our 50+ experts in defence, software, and AI develop our flagship autonomy and swarm platform used by both government and industry. In close partnership with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), we move fast from concept to live deployment, often in the field alongside end users.*
*We work with advanced hardware and software, a modern tech stack, and missions that demand both technical mastery and operational discipline. Everyone is close to the action, from deep technical problem-solving to field operations. We move fast and value clarity, integrity, and teamwork in everything we do.*
*At Six Robotics, every person executes with precision, adapts to changing conditions, and strengthens the team. Getting in is hard, and you’ll be challenged every day. But if you have the skill, the discipline, and the drive to push your limits and always be sharpening your blade, you’ll find no better place to deliver real-world impact while collaborating and learning from the best in the field.*
****About The Role****
As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will work at the intersection of hardware and software, enabling new hardware to become a reliable part of our autonomy stack. This role exists to integrate new hardware drivers into our existing software stack and to take ownership of the layers that expose radios, cameras, and other hardware to the autonomy software stack.
You will work hands-on with embedded linux, C++, Python, packaging, deployment and integrating into existing interfaces, and making sure new hardware integration passes all test and CI pipelines, including HIL setups.
Success in this role means that new hardware can be introduced with confidence. Drivers are wrapped cleanly, interfaces are consistent, and hardware works predictably in both test and production environments. After six months, you are a key enabler of rapid and industry leading hardware integration.
****What You Will Do****
- Design and implement robust C++ components for hardware integration in our autonomous systems
- Write and maintain wrappers around new hardware drivers, including radios, cameras, and other future platforms
- Integrate new hardware and software components into test environments, including HIL and CI pipelines. Ensuring fully automated factory deployment and error resilient software rollout to UAVs in the field.
- Collaborate closely with other teams to ensure end-to-end reliability
- Use Python for internal tooling, and test automation
- Contribute to improving build, configuration, and deployment practices for embedded Linux systems
****What we are looking for****
We are looking for a hands-on engineer who enjoys working close to hardware and taking responsibility for making complex systems work as a whole. You like figuring out how pieces fit together, from low-level drivers to higher-level interfaces, and you are comfortable owning problems from initial integration to long-term maintenance.
You should be comfortable working independently while also communicating clearly with engineers in other disciplines. Curiosity, attention to detail, and a strong sense of ownership are essential.
****We believe the right candidate brings****
- Solid engineering experience, with at least 3 years working close to embedded linux or systems-level software
- Strong C++ and Python skills
- Experience integrating, building, and deploying software on edge or embedded platforms
- Familiarity with CI/CD workflows and tools such as GitHub CI, Jenkins, or similar
- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail when working with complex systems
- Motivation to take ownership, work across team boundaries, and contribute in a growing startup environment
- Clear communication skills in English, written and spoken
****Nice-to-haves:****
- C++ development and deployment on embedded linux systems or platforms such as Nvidia Jetson, Qualcom, NXP, etc.
****Why You Should Join****
At Six Robotics, we're not just building software - we're redefining how unmanned systems operate in the real world. If you're driven by meaningful problems, technical depth, and the chance to shape something from the ground up, you'll find your place here.
- Work on problems that matter Our technology helps unlock smarter, safer, and more adaptable UAV operations in defense and industry, solving real challenges with direct, tangible impact.
- Lead the shift in a hardware-dominated space We're bringing modern AI, autonomy, and scalable software into a field that's long relied on rigid, pre-programmed systems, to change how UAVs are designed, deployed, and managed.
- Build from zero, shape the future Join early and help define the core systems, tools, and culture of a company that’s still being built - where your ideas, code, and decisions will have a lasting influence.
- Work with purpose, supported by great benefits You'll be part of a mission-driven team that values clarity, integrity, and collaboration, offering competitive pay, equity potential, strong insurance and pension plans, and ongoing learning opportunities.
****Our Recruitment Process****
- Screening interview with one of our recruiters to get to know you better (30 min).
- Meet & Greet with someone from the team to learn more about us (60 min).
- Structured case interview based on a technical task you solved on your own time (90 min).
- Final interview with our CTO and Head of People (45 min)
- Reference check followed by an offer if everything goes well.
**Our Commitment to Inclusion**
At Six Robotics, we are committed to creating a workplace built on respect, integrity, and collaboration. We value different perspectives and experiences, and we believe that diversity within our team strengthens both our work and our culture. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply and help us build technology that makes a real impact.
***Security Clearance Requirement***
*All employees at Six Robotics are required to undergo a security clearance due to our close collaboration with the Norwegian Armed Forces. While prior clearance is not necessary, the clearance process will be initiated as part of onboarding.*
