Robotics Engineer – Remote (Full‑Time)

About the role

We are looking for a Robotics Engineer to design, implement, and validate autonomous capabilities across perception, localization, planning, and control. You will work in a remote‑first environment, integrating sensors and delivering reliable autonomy for mobile robots or manipulators.

Key responsibilities

• Develop robotics software modules using ROS 2, Python, and C++ for perception, mapping, planning, and control.
• Design, tune, and maintain SLAM, sensor‑fusion, and state‑estimation pipelines.
• Implement motion‑planning and trajectory‑generation with safety constraints and real‑time considerations.
• Create simulation workflows to test autonomy and improve simulation‑to‑real transfer.
• Collaborate with ML/perception teams to validate computer‑vision models and define evaluation metrics.
• Establish test plans, logging, and QA protocols to detect regressions and ensure reliable deployments.

Required profile

• Mid‑senior experience delivering robotics systems in production or advanced prototypes.
• Strong programming skills in Python and C++ with robotics‑oriented design patterns.
• Hands‑on experience with ROS 2, message pipelines, and debugging distributed robotic stacks.
• Solid fundamentals in kinematics, controls, estimation, and motion planning.
• Experience with perception and computer‑vision concepts, including calibration and sensor synchronization.
