We are looking for a Senior Robotics Software Engineer to improve the robustness reliability and industrial readiness of an advanced Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) software platform.
This is a highly hands-on engineering role focused on ROS1/ROS2 navigation localization system reliability and real-world robot deployments.
- Support the migration of the robotics stack from ROS1 to ROS2
- Improve robustness and stability of deployed AMR systems
- Troubleshoot navigation localization sensor and system-level issues
- Debug across ROS1 ROS2 Docker and Linux
- Improve recovery strategies fault handling testing and software quality
- Investigate difficult real-world edge cases and recurring field issues
- Support customer deployments and production incidents
- Collaborate with Robotics QA Backend DevOps and Product teams
- Strong ROS1 and ROS2 experience
- Proven experience deploying robots in real-world/production environments
- Strong C and Python
- Experience with navigation localization sensors and robot lifecycle management
- Strong Linux/Ubuntu troubleshooting skills
- Experience with Docker Git CI/CD and distributed systems
- Production debugging and root-cause analysis experience
- Automated testing and software quality practices
- Ability to work hands-on across the robotics software stack
