Robotics Software Engineer (4–5 years)

This is a hands-on and technically challenging role suitable for someone who has already built robotics software stacks, understands robotics fundamentals at depth, and can lead modules independently with minimal guidance.

We welcome and encourage applicants to explore their professional networks for potential referrals. If you have a connection at our company who can vouch for your skills, please have them submit a referral through our internal program.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and maintain advanced software components for mobile robots, manipulators, and autonomous systems.
• Architect scalable and modular software stacks including control algorithms, sensor fusion pipelines, state estimation frameworks, and hardware abstraction layers.
• Lead integration of sensors, actuators, embedded systems, and computing units into a cohesive robotics stack.
• Develop and manage ROS1/ROS2 architectures for perception, navigation, manipulation, and robot coordination.
• Implement and optimize SLAM, localization, mapping, motion planning, path planning, and control algorithms.
• Conduct rigorous testing using both simulation tools (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, MoveIt, RViz) and real-world robot deployments.
• Optimize code for real-time performance, safety, computational efficiency, and resource-constrained hardware.
• Design APIs and middleware interfaces for hardware interaction, cloud connectivity, and UI communication.
• Oversee version control, code quality standards, documentation, and CI/CD workflows.
• Mentor junior engineers, guide interns, and contribute to engineering best practices.
• Participate in architectural discussions, design reviews, and system-level decision-making.
