Software Systems Architect

CUES is seeking an accomplished Software Architect to bridge two critical technology ecosystems and create a unified platform strategy. This is an exceptional opportunity to architect the convergence of advanced robotics hardware/software with enterprise cloud applications, driving innovation across inspection and data management solutions.

You will serve as the principal technical authority responsible for defining the integration strategy between CUES' next-generation smart robotic truck platform (Linux/C++ real-time edge computing) and the Granite Net (GNET) enterprise software division (cloud-based SaaS transitioning to browser-based architecture). Your leadership will establish a cohesive architectural vision that minimizes development and maintenance effort while enabling both systems to leverage each other's strengths.

This role demands a strategic technical leader capable of managing complex cross platform integration challenges, bridging embedded systems and cloud technologies, and communicating architectural decisions to secure buy-in from diverse stakeholders across robotics, software, product, and executive teams. You will take ownership of defining the technical pathway for real-time data flow, local AI inference, cloud processing, browser-based user interfaces, and offline-first capabilities to enable seamless operations whether trucks are connected or operating in low-connectivity environments. This real-time data capture needs to effectively align with subsequent offline analysis, reporting, AI based defect coding and other SAAS capabilities.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
