AeroVect is a Series A autonomous vehicle company transforming ground handling operations for airlines and ground service providers globally. As a Staff Software Engineer, Infrastructure, you will own the physical infrastructure powering AeroVect's autonomous vehicle operations at garage facilities.
You will develop, configure, and maintain uploaders and networking gear at AeroVect's garage facilities, managing software release delivery to autonomous tractors and on-prem devices across active deployment sites. You'll build and maintain on-prem data processing applications in C++ and Python that handle real-time operational data, ensuring reliable ingestion of vehicle data including dashcam images and telemetry, with managed upload flows to cloud infrastructure.
Additional responsibilities include maintaining and improving an existing operator-facing UI layer supporting day-to-day garage operations, monitoring server health, network performance, and data pipeline reliability across on-prem systems, and developing automation tools in Python and Bash to streamline on-prem operations, monitoring, and deployment workflows. You will collaborate with the cloud infrastructure team to ensure clean data handoff between on-prem and cloud systems, and adapt quickly to shifting operational priorities across active deployment environments.
This is a hands-on role operating at the intersection of systems software, embedded infrastructure, and physical networking in a fast-paced, operationally dynamic environment where priorities shift with active vehicle deployments across live airport sectors. Your systems support operators and vehicles running in the field every day.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
- 7+ years of experience managing on-prem infrastructure, bare metal systems, and physical networking environments
- Proficiency in C++ for building data processing applications (standard library, basic multithreading, socket and WebSocket implementation)
- Strong proficiency in Python and Bash for automation, tooling, and operational scripting
- Hands-on experience physically configuring servers/computers and network hardware
- Experience managing software deployment pipelines to physical devices or embedded systems
- Familiarity with data ingestion pipelines and managing data flows from edge devices to centralized infrastructure
- Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced environment with shifting operational priorities
PREFERRED:
- Experience in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or operationally deployed technology environments
- Background in embedded systems or edge computing with C++ data processing applications
- Experience supporting operator-facing tools or lightweight UI components for operational systems
- Familiarity with WebSocket and socket-based communication for real-time data applications
- Knowledge of monitoring and alerting for on-prem systems and network infrastructure
- ROS/ROS2 familiarity or experience with robotic software deployment pipelines
