Role Overview

We are looking for a ROS Developer to design and implement the navigation and AI stack for our autonomous robotic platforms. This role focuses on ROS-based control, mapping, and perception systems, with opportunities to expand into AI-powered computer vision and fleet management.

Key Responsibilities Immediate Responsibilities

• Develop and deploy ROS nodes for navigation, sensor integration, and actuator control.
• Implement SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) for autonomous navigation in crowded environments.
• Integrate sensors (LIDAR, depth cameras, IMU, ultrasonic) with the robot’s control system.
• Design path planning, obstacle avoidance, and motion control algorithms.
• Work with embedded engineers to ensure hardware-software integration.

Future Responsibilities

• Develop AI-based perception systems (object detection, crowd analysis, anomaly detection).
• Build multi-robot coordination and fleet management solutions.
• Implement cloud-based or remote robot monitoring dashboards.
• Optimize performance for large-scale deployment in public spaces.

Candidate Requirements

• Strong experience with ROS (Robot Operating System) and robotic middleware.
• Proficiency in C++ and Python.
• Experience with SLAM, navigation, and control algorithms.
• Hands-on integration of LIDAR, camera, and IMU sensors.
• Knowledge of OpenCV, TensorFlow/PyTorch for vision systems (preferred).
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills in robotics environments.
