Role Overview

Lead Robotics Engineer

Key Responsibilities

ROS 2 Development & Middleware

• Develop and implement

  ROS 2 nodes, packages, and launch files

  using

  rclcpp

  and

  rclpy

  .
• Utilize

  DDS (Data Distribution Service) middleware

  (Fast DDS, Cyclone DDS, RTI Connext) for efficient inter-node communication.
• Design and manage

  ROS 2 workspaces (colcon, ament_cmake)

  with proper package dependencies.
• Implement

  ROS 2 parameters, topics, services, actions, and lifecycle nodes

  for modular design.
• Leverage

  ros_control, ros2_control, and MoveIt 2

  for actuator and manipulator control.

Localization, Mapping & Navigation

• Implement

  Nav2 (Navigation2 stack)

  for path planning, obstacle avoidance, and navigation in indoor/outdoor environments.
• Apply

  SLAM Toolboxes (Cartographer, Gmapping, RTAB-Map, ORB-SLAM2/3)

  for localization and environment mapping.
• Integrate

  sensor fusion

  using

  robot_localization

  (EKF/UKF filters for IMU, GPS, and wheel odometry).
• Tune

  PID controllers

  for accurate wheel odometry and trajectory tracking.

Perception & AI Integration

• Integrate

  camera drivers, LiDAR drivers, depth sensors

  with ROS 2 ecosystems.
• Implement

  vision-based pipelines

  with

  image_transport, cv_bridge, and OpenCV

  .
• Deploy

  deep learning frameworks

  (YOLOv5/v8, TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenVINO, NVIDIA TensorRT) for object detection and tracking.
• Develop AI-driven behaviors and

  multi-sensor fusion

  for robust decision-making.

Multi-Robot Systems & Communication

• Architect

  multi-robot frameworks

  with ROS 2 for

  distributed navigation and task allocation

  .
• Implement

  ROS 2 namespaces, remapping, and multi-master setups

  for fleet operation.
• Optimize

  QoS (Quality of Service) policies

  for real-time communication in dynamic environments.

System Optimization & Deployment

• Develop

  lightweight and resource-optimized ROS 2 applications

  suitable for embedded platforms (Jetson, Raspberry Pi, Intel NUC).
• Manage deployment using

  Docker containers with ROS 2

  for reproducibility and scalability.
• Benchmark system performance and optimize computational loads for vision, SLAM, and navigation.
• Integrate ROS 2 with

  Ubuntu (20.04/22.04), Windows Subsystems, and Android

  .

Collaboration & Leadership

• Lead a cross-functional team of electronics, mechanical, and software engineers.
• Mentor junior robotics engineers in

  ROS 2 best practices and coding standards

  .
• Ensure robust system design from

  prototype to production deployment

  .

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree

  in Robotics, Electronics, Mechatronics, or related fields.

• 4–5 years of proven experience

  in developing

  ROS 2-based autonomous platforms

  (industrial or commercial robots).
• Strong expertise in:

• ROS 2 middleware (rclcpp, rclpy, DDS, colcon, ament_cmake)

• Nav2 stack and SLAM frameworks (Cartographer, RTAB-Map, ORB-SLAM)

• ros2_control, MoveIt 2, robot_localization

• Computer Vision (OpenCV, YOLO, TensorRT, DeepStream)

• Sensor integration (LiDAR, IMU, cameras, depth sensors, GPS/RTK)

• PID tuning, motion control, and multi-robot systems

• Proficient in

  C++17/20 and Python 3

  for robotics development.
• Hands-on experience with

  simulation frameworks (Gazebo, RViz2, Ignition, Webots, Unity Robotics)

  .
• Strong analytical, debugging, and system optimization skills.
• Excellent communication and leadership capabilities.

Preferred Skills (Good to Have)
