Robotics Application Engineer

About Robotair

We started Robotair because building and deploying robotics software shouldn’t be this hard.

Our mission is simple: make shipping robot applications feel as easy as installing a mobile application.

Instead of wrestling with infrastructure, developers should be spending their time building amazing robots. We’re here to make that happen — by bringing cloud-native workflows into the world of robotics and simplifying the entire software supply chain.

Role Description

Robot Application Engineer

You will be working hands-on with the Robotair platform, testing deployments on real robot fleets, and building demo applications in ROS to showcase our industrial and commercial use cases.

This role blends robotics software development with cloud-native testing you’ll have the opportunity to build, deploy, and operate ROS applications in ways that are setting the future standards of the robotics industry.

Responsibilities

• Develop and test ROS 1/ROS 2 applications using Python and C++ (Python focus).
• Create demo applications and deployment scenarios for industrial robots.
• Work with Docker-based environments to containerize and ship ROS applications.
• Integrate, test, and troubleshoot robot applications on fleets managed by Robotair.
• Provide feedback on platform improvements by working closely with engineering and product teams.
• Write clean, maintainable code and document your work for internal and external users.
• Develop basic CI/CD pipelines to automate ROS application testing and deployment.

Qualifications

• Solid experience developing with ROS (Robot Operating System), ideally ROS 2.
• Strong Python programming skills for robotics applications.
• Experience working with Docker and containerized development environments.
• Hands-on experience with software integration, especially connecting multiple ROS nodes, packages, and external systems.
• Basic understanding of CI/CD pipelines, version control (Git), and automated testing.
• Problem-solving mindset with a passion for clean code and robust systems.
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment, taking ownership of tasks.
• (Bonus) Experience working with industrial robots or AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots).
• (Bonus) Exposure to cloud-native technologies like Kubernetes, or interest in DevOps for robotics.

Why Join Robotair?

We started Robotair because we’ve personally felt the pain of deploying robot software to production.

It's painful. It's messy. It eats up weeks or months that should be spent building features.

We knew there had to be a better way so we’re building it.

• Work on real-world robotics challenges - cloud-native deployments, OTA updates, and monitoring fleets at scale.
• Remote-first and flexible - work where you're most productive.
• Small team, big impact - your ideas will directly shape the product and the company.
• Move fast, stay focused - no endless meetings, no corporate bureaucracy.

Help redefine how robots get built, tested, and deployed worldwide.

If you’re excited about robotics, cloud-native development, and solving real problems for real robots — we’d love to hear from you.
