Why we read it this way (4)
The title reads 'Senior/Staff', presenting the role as potentially either level; the requirements (5+ years, mentoring junior and senior engineers, architectural influence) most closely support Senior, though the cross-team technical leadership language edges toward Staff. Sized as Senior given the instruction to prefer the lower band on ambiguity.
DDS is listed in the Requirements section as a core responsibility area ('DDS configuration'), making it a hard gate despite being a middleware/configuration concern rather than a named product; it is marked required accordingly.
Intel robotics platforms and NVIDIA Jetson are named as the target hardware in the role description; NVIDIA Jetson is captured as a required platform skill given the role explicitly owns software running on these devices.
No compensation figures are provided.
