We are supporting a pioneering AI and automotive technology organisation seeking an experienced Senior C++ Software Engineer to join a highly technical engineering team on a contract basis.
This is a hands-on software engineering role focused on designing and building a robust, production-grade C++ library that forms part of a vehicle software platform. The emphasis is on clean software architecture, API design, and software infrastructure rather than robotics research or algorithm development.
You will work alongside calibration, robotics, and platform engineers to develop a maintainable software component responsible for storing and retrieving vehicle calibration data reliably across multiple compute platforms.
This opportunity would suit a senior engineer who enjoys building elegant, high-quality C++ software, integrating with existing systems, and delivering production-ready code within a collaborative engineering environment.
