What is the difference between Senior Graduate Robotics Engineer vs Robotics Software Developer?

AspectSenior Graduate Robotics EngineerRobotics Software Developer
Required CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Robotics, Mechanical, or Electrical EngineeringBachelor's or Master's in Computer Science or Software Engineering
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, manufacturing, automation companiesSoftware firms, tech startups, robotics companies
Industry UsageDesigning and testing robotic systems, integrating hardware and softwareDeveloping software for robotic applications, simulation, and control algorithms

The main difference is that Senior Graduate Robotics Engineers focus on designing and integrating robotic hardware and systems, while Robotics Software Developers primarily work on creating software solutions for robotics. Both roles require technical skills, but their focus areas differ, with the former emphasizing hardware and system integration, and the latter emphasizing software development.

Job description

ARA is seeking a highly skilled and innovative senior robotics engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in C++ development, coupled with experience in robotics. This role involves developing robust C++ software for virtual simulation.

This is an on-site position located in San Antonio, TX.

What you will do as a senior robotics engineer:

  • Design, implement, and optimize high-performance, real-time C++ code for embedded systems, robotics control, and simulation infrastructure.
  • Create, maintain, and optimize virtual models and simulation environments to test, validate, and refine robotic systems and algorithms before physical deployment.
  • Develop software frameworks (e.g., ROS/ROS2) and algorithms for controlling and integrating various robotic subsystems.
  • Analyze data from both simulations and physical hardware to optimize performance and debug system behavior.

Senior robotics engineer requirements: 

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • 8+ years of experience. Advanced degree may serve in partial fulfillment of the experience requirement.
    • Expert-level proficiency in modern C++ (C++11/14/17 or higher) for embedded and real-time systems.
    • Demonstrated experience in robotics software development, including motion planning, perception, and control systems.
    • Experience developing or working with simulation environments (e.g., Gazebo, Unity, Unreal Engine) for robotics applications.
    • Excellent analytical and troubleshooting skills to diagnose issues across complex hardware and software systems. 
  • U.S. citizenship required. Candidates selected may be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.

Preferred experience:

  • Familiarity with unmanned Navy systems.
  • Portfolio showcasing hands-on projects involving C++ programming and robotics.
