Job Description:
Arrow Electronics guides innovation forward for over 220,000 technology manufacturers and service providers, with 2025 sales of $30.9 billion across 228 locations in 85+ countries. Our Intelligent Solutions engineering teams design the edge AI and autonomous systems our customer's ship.

Build the brains of the next generation of robots.
Autonomous mobile robots, industrial inspection drones, surgical robotics, smart-city vision systems — the companies building them across the Americas come to Arrow to get from prototype to production. You'll be the engineer they work with.
As an authorized NVIDIA distributor, Arrow supports the full NVIDIA Jetson System-on-Module portfolio for edge AI and autonomous machines, and we build our own reference designs and carrier boards around it. This role sits at the center of that: bring-up, board support packages, and getting real inference workloads running on real hardware in the field.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Board bring-up and BSP work on NVIDIA Jetson modules, kernel, device tree, drivers, boot flow.
Build and tune embedded Linux images (Yocto / JetPack / L4T) for customer platforms.
Integrate robotics and perception stacks: ROS 2, camera and sensor pipelines (MIPI CSI, GMSL), CAN, real-time control.
Optimize AI inference at the edge: model deployment, TensorRT tuning, thermal/power budgeting on constrained platforms.
Prototype reference designs alongside Arrow's engineering teams, then help customers take them to volume.
Work directly with customer engineering teams, you'll see dozens of robotics products a year, not one.
What We Are Looking For:
Bachelor's degree in computer engineering, Computer Science, AI or related field.
Strong embedded Linux fundamentals (5+): C/C++, Python, kernel and driver-level debugging.
Hands-on with ARM SoCs and single-board computers; Yocto or Buildroot experience.
Exposure to any of: ROS/ROS 2, computer vision, CUDA, TensorRT, real-time control, motor drives.
Comfort with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and hardware that doesn't boot yet.
Why this role beats a single-product job.
Most embedded engineers spend three years on one robot. Here you'll touch autonomous machine designs across warehouse robotics, agriculture, medical, and industrial automation. With early access to NVIDIA's edge AI roadmap and a direct line to their engineering resources. Breadth like that is hard to buy back later in a career.
Work Arrangement:
Hybrid: 3 days in office / 2 days work from home
What's In It For You:
At Arrow, we recognize that financial rewards and great benefits are important aspects of an ideal job. That’s why we offer competitive financial compensation, including various compensation plans, and a solid benefits package.

Arrow Electronics, Inc. Compensation & Benefits Highlights
The following summarizes recurring compensation and benefits themes identified from responses generated by popular LLMs to common candidate questions about Arrow Electronics, Inc. and has not been reviewed or approved by Arrow Electronics, Inc..
-
Affordable Benefits — Medical coverage includes multiple options with income-tiered employer contributions that substantially reduce costs for lower-wage employees (the base plan was heavily subsidized for earners under $55,000). These affordability measures, alongside EAP and telemedicine, help the overall package offset middling base pay in some roles.
-
Parental & Family Support — New parents receive fully paid leave (six weeks at 100% pay in prior materials, with more recent reporting of up to 12 weeks fully paid for the delivering parent in the U.S.). Backup dependent care and related family supports are also provided.
