Software Engineer, Robotics Infrastructure - Autonomy & Robotics, DoorDash Air

You have prior experience at a robotics company in a similar infrastructure role

You have experience with robotics middleware (ROS2, LCM, eCal, Apex.AI)

You have experience with build systems and package managers (CMake, Bazel, Nix, Conan)

You have experience with NVidia Jetson and JetPack

You have experience with robotics logging and visualization (RViz, Foxglove, Rerun, Plotly)

You have strong C++ and Python skills, and you're comfortable with systems-level debugging

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.

Develop and own critical onboard components: process management, health monitoring, configuration management, and message passing

Own the build system (C++, Python) and middleware layer (ROS2), including cross-compilation for Jetson targets

Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines and regression testing infrastructure

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!
