Software Engineer, Robotics Infrastructure - Autonomy & Robotics

About The Team

DoorDash Labs is an independent team within DoorDash. We explore robotics and automation to transform last mile logistics in the long term. If you have a passion for applying robotics solutions in a service used by millions of people, then we want to talk to you!

About The Role

We're hiring a Robotics Infrastructure Engineer in our Autonomy Software team. In this role, you'll own, build, and manage the infrastructure that makes aerial autonomy development possible. You'll work on the onboard systems that keep a drone alive (process management, health monitoring, parameterization) and the development environment that makes the team fast (build systems, CI/CD, logging, debugging, regression testing).

This is not cloud infrastructure. This is real-time, fault-tolerant, onboard software for vehicles that cannot gracefully restart at 50 meters altitude.

Nice To Have

experience includes: Experience designing fault-tolerant systems for safety-critical applications (aerospace, automotive, medical) Contributions to open-source robotics tooling Experience with deterministic replay or time-travel debugging for robotics Familiarity with DO-178C or similar certification-aware development processes Experience with Nix for reproducible robotics builds You have informed opinions on process supervision (systemd vs custom vs supervisord) and can articulate the tradeoffs You've debugged DDS/middleware issues under real-time constraints on embedded hardware
