Overview
We are seeking Robotics Application Engineers to join our team in building and delivering advanced robotic systems.
This role offers a unique blend of hands-on deployment and support with a clear growth path into robotics software development.
You'll play a critical role in setting up, testing, and maintaining robots in real environments, while gradually taking on software responsibilities in system development, automation, and integration.
This position is ideal for engineers who enjoy working at the intersection of real-world hardware and software and want to evolve into a core member of our software engineering team.
Responsibilities
Deploy and configure mobile robotic systems, including initial setup, calibration, and functional validation
Support customers and internal users during early-stage deployments and pilots
Debug software and system-level issues in ROS-based environments
Develop tools and scripts to automate deployment, calibration, and monitoring tasks
Write and maintain client-facing documentation and internal technical notes
Train customers and internal team members on robot usage and troubleshooting
Contribute to the software development of core robotics components, including perception, navigation, behavior orchestration, and diagnostics
Collaborate closely with hardware and systems engineers to ensure seamless integration
Relay insights and feedback from real-world deployments back to the development team
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or related field
Strong proficiency in C++, preferably in the context of robotics or embedded systems
Familiarity with Linux systems and command-line tools
Working experience with ROS2 and the ability to navigate its launch / configuration systems
Exposure to real-time sensor data and robotic hardware (e.g., LiDARs, cameras, IMUs)
Comfortable working in live environments, including labs, customer sites, or field settings
Excellent debugging and problem-solving skills
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Willingness to travel occasionally for robot deployments and customer support
Nice to Have
Experience with CI / CD tools for robotics software
Knowledge of Docker, Git, and build systems like CMake or colcon
Familiarity with robotic simulation environments (Gazebo, Webots, or Isaac Sim)
Background in motion planning, SLAM, or control systems
Experience working in startup or fast-paced development environments
Application Materials
Resume / CV
Link(s) to code sample(s), ideally in a publicly accessible repository
