About the Company:

We founded Sakar Robotics to collapse fragmented point solutions into a single extensible mobile manipulation platform. Traditional automation requires bespoke integration per workflowslow to deploy, rigid to evolve. We built a composable stack whereperception, autonomy,manipulationand orchestration cooperate natively.

Guided by field feedback across regulated, high?mix and throughput?critical domains, we iterate on production realitynot lab abstractionsbuilding durable leverage for customers.

Our mission is to deliver a unified robotics platform that can be rapidly configured to execute diverse workflowsreducing time?to?value, elevating safety, and embedding continuous improvement loops into daily operations.

Role Summary

As a Robotics Software Engineer, you will design, develop, and integrate core robotic software modules using ROS and Python.You'llbe responsible forbuilding andoptimizingreal-time robotic applications that bringperception, navigation, and control systems together into production-ready solutions.

KeyResponsibilities:

• Develop andmaintainrobotic software using ROS2 frameworks.
• Write modular, production-grade code in Python (and C++ whenrequired).
• Implement and optimize motion planning, navigation, and control algorithms.
• Integrate sensors such as LiDAR, cameras, and IMUs for localization and mapping on simulation/hardware.
• Collaborate with hardware and autonomy teams for end-to-end system integration.
• Test, debug, andvalidatealgorithms in both simulated and on-field environments.

Must-HaveSkills:

• Strongproficiencyin Python/C++ programming.
• Hands-on experience with ROS2 (nodes, topics, services, TFs, and launch files).
• Good understanding of robot kinematics, motion planning, and navigation stack.
• Proficiencyin Linux environments and Git version control.

Good-to-Have Skills:

• Familiarity with C++ for performance-critical applications.
• Experience with simulation tools like Gazebo, RViz, or Isaac Sim.
• Knowledge of OpenCV, PCL, or otherperceptionlibraries.
• Understanding ofsensor fusion, mapping, and autonomous navigation.

Soft Skills:

• Strong communicationand coordination
• Ownership and accountability
• Problem-solving and proactive approach
• Adaptability in a fast-paced environment
• Team collaboration and positive attitude
