What You’ll Do

We are working with a Confidential Client building next‑generation robotic intelligence. As a Robotics Software Engineer you will deliver production-quality software that powers sensing, planning, and control for real-world robots.

• Design and implement robotics software modules (perception, localization, planning, control).
• Develop and maintain C++ and Python code for ROS/ROS2-based systems.
• Integrate algorithms (SLAM, sensor fusion, state estimation) with hardware and simulation.
• Build and run tests on hardware-in-the-loop and simulation environments.
• Optimize real-time components for performance and reliability on embedded platforms.
• Troubleshoot and root-cause issues observed on physical robots; work with cross-functional teams to deploy fixes.
• Contribute to architecture, code reviews, and engineering best practices (CI, unit/integration tests, documentation).

What We’re Looking For

The Confidential Client seeks engineers who can move from prototype to production while collaborating across software, firmware and systems teams.

• Strong software engineering skills in C++ (modern C++ preferred) and Python.
• Experience with ROS or ROS2 and robot middleware.
• Familiarity with Linux-based development, cross-compilation, and debugging tools.
• Practical experience with perception or stateestimation (e.g., SLAM, Kalman filters, sensor fusion).
• Proven ability to test on hardware and interpret sensor data (LiDAR, camera, IMU).
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.

Nice-to-Have

• Background in machine learning for robotics (perception or policy learning).
• Experience with real-time systems, RTOS, or embedded Linux kernels.
• Knowledge of motion planning frameworks and control theory.
• Experience with simulation tools (Gazebo, Webots, Isaac) and CI/CD for robotics.

---

Education & Experience

• BS/MS in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering or related field — or equivalent practical experience.
• Typically 3+ years building robotics or embedded systems software (junior candidates with strong relevant experience may be considered).

---

Location & Work Arrangement

• Location: United States — open to candidates across the U.S.
• Work arrangement details (on-site, hybrid, or remote) will be confirmed by the Confidential Client during the hiring process.
