The Role

We're looking for a robotics engineer to join our core development team and drive the integration of robotic systems with our teleoperation platform. You'll work at the intersection of robotics, real-time control systems, and remote operation technology.

Primary focus areas:

  • ROS2-based robotic system integration and development
  • Real-time control algorithms and motion planning
  • Sensor fusion and perception systems
  • Hardware-software integration for robotic platforms
  • Safety-critical system design and validation
  • Multi-robot coordination and fleet management

What You'll Do

  • Design and implement robotic control systems using ROS2 framework
  • Develop motion planning and navigation algorithms for autonomous and teleoperated robots
  • Integrate sensors (LiDAR, cameras, IMU, encoders) with perception and control pipelines
  • Build and optimize real-time control loops with sub-millisecond latency requirements
  • Collaborate with hardware teams on robot platform design and testing
  • Implement safety systems and fail-safe mechanisms for remote operation
  • Debug and troubleshoot robotic systems in lab and field environments
  • Support customer integration of robotic platforms
  • Participate in system architecture decisions and technical reviews

Requirements

Must have:

  • 3+ years of hands-on robotics engineering experience
  • Strong proficiency in ROS2 and robotics middleware
  • Experience with motion planning, kinematics, and control theory
  • Solid understanding of sensor integration and perception systems
  • Programming skills in C++ and Python for robotics applications
  • Experience with real-time systems and embedded Linux
  • Knowledge of robotics simulation tools
  • Strong mathematical background in linear algebra, calculus, and statistics

Preferred:

  • Experience with autonomous navigation and SLAM algorithms
  • Knowledge of computer vision and machine learning for robotics
  • Familiarity with robotic hardware platforms (manipulators, mobile robots, drones)
  • Experience with safety-critical systems and functional safety standards
  • Background in teleoperation, haptic feedback, or human-robot interaction
  • Knowledge of communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, wireless systems)
  • Experience with Docker, Git, CI/CD tools, and automated testing for robotics

What We're Looking For

  • Strong systems thinking and ability to work across hardware-software boundaries
  • Passion for solving complex robotics challenges in real-world environments
  • Experience with rapid prototyping and iterative development
  • Collaborative mindset for working with cross-functional teams
  • Comfortable with hands-on debugging and field testing
  • Excited about pushing the boundaries of remote robotics technology
