We are looking for experienced C++ engineers to join our core engineering team and work across:
- High‑performance distributed middleware (DDS)
- European R&D; projects in Robotics and AI (including LLM‑based systems)
- Advanced customer projects (architecture studies, PoCs, development support) This is a unique opportunity to combine Robotics, AI, and deep systems engineering. What You Will Work On Core Middleware Development (DDS)
- Design and implement new features in our DDS products (Fast DDS, Safe DDS, Fast DDS Pro)
- Define APIs and participate in architectural decisions
- Work on performance optimization, real‑time constraints, and cross‑platform compatibility
- Contribute to code used in safety‑critical and mission‑critical environments
- Develop and integrate communication layers for complex robotic systems
- Enable distributed AI pipelines across robots and edge/cloud systems
- Participate in projects combining Robotics and modern AI (including multimodal and LLM‑based approaches) European Research Projects
- Collaborate in cutting‑edge EU‑funded projects in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence
- Contribute to research prototypes that evolve into real industrial products
- Work with international consortia (research centres, large industries, innovative SMEs) Customer‑Facing Technical Work
- Support advanced users integrating DDS and ROS 2 in demanding systems
- Perform architecture reviews and distributed system design studies
- Develop Proofs of Concept and advanced integration packages How We Work
- Feature design: requirements analysis and API definition
- C++ development targeting Linux, Windows, macOS, QNX, VxWorks and other platforms
- Multithreaded and real‑time system programming
- Unit and integration testing (functionality & performance)
- Code reviews
- Technical documentation (user manuals, API reference, examples) What We Offer
- Very competitive salary: we are looking for top engineers
- Versátil working hours and hybrid remote/on‑site model
- International and highly technical environment
- Work on widely adopted open‑source technology used by hundreds of thousands of developers
- Direct impact on Robotics, AI, automotive, aerospace, defence, and industrial systems
- Opportunity to grow into technical leadership roles
- Strong C/C++ skills (minimum 3 years of professional experience)
- Solid understanding of multithreading and concurrency
- Experience in multi‑platform development (Linux and Windows required)
- Knowledge of distributed systems and communication protocols
- Experience with Git and CI systems (e.g., Jenkins)
- Good level of English (spoken and written) Nice to Have
- Experience with ROS 2
- Knowledge of DDS
- Background in Robotics or AI systems
- Experience in real‑time or safety‑critical systems
- Experience with embedded platforms About eProsima At eProsima, we develop the communication backbone of ROS 2 and high‑performance DDS middleware used worldwide. Our technology is adopted in autonomous vehicles, industrial robotics, aerospace systems, smart manufacturing, defence platforms and distributed AI infrastructures. We collaborate with major technology companies and participate in strategic European R&D; programs. We believe in Open Source, technical excellence, and building foundational technology that enables innovation across industries. If you want your work to matter at scale, this is your place. #J-18808-Ljbffr Postúlate en Kit Empleo: kitempleo.es/empleo/6tfcs1
