Lead Robotics Engineer – SLAM & Perception

We are looking for a highly skilled Lead Robotics Engineer with deep expertise in 2D/3D SLAM, VSLAM, LiDAR-based mapping, and multi-sensor fusion to drive the perception stack of our humanoid robots. The candidate will play a key role in designing, implementing, and optimizing real-time mapping and localization pipelines across industrial and social humanoid platforms.

• Lead the development and deployment of real-time 2D/3D SLAM solutions for indoor and outdoor navigation.
• Build and optimize multi-sensor fusion using 3D/4D LiDAR, Intel RealSense, IMU, wheel odometry, and RGB-D cameras .
• Implement VSLAM pipelines and integrate them into the organizations perception framework.
• Own and maintain navigation, localization, and mapping modules in ROS2.
• Work closely with motion planning, controls, and AI teams to enable fully autonomous behaviors.
• Develop clean and maintainable code using C++ & Python following best robotics software practices.
• Lead a small team of robotics engineers and ensure timely project delivery.
• Benchmark and improve robustness for complex dynamic environments.
• Support real-world deployments, field testing, tuning, and performance improvements.

• Strong hands-on experience with 2D & 3D SLAM algorithms (Cartographer, ORB-SLAM, LOAM, RTAB-Map, etc.)
• Expertise in LiDAR-based mapping and point cloud processing (PCL, Open3D, etc.)
• Practical experience working with 3D/4D LiDARs and Intel RealSense camera family
• High-performance robotics software development using C++ and Python
• Proficiency with ROS2 (Nav2, TF2, RMW, DDS, middleware)
• Deep understanding of sensor calibration, extrinsics, odometry, and transforms
• Experience with real-time embedded Linux systems and GPU-accelerated pipelines
• Familiarity with Docker, CI/CD pipelines and Git is a plus

• Masters/PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechatronics, or related field
• Experience working with humanoid robots or mobile manipulators
• Publications / open-source contributions in perception / SLAM communities
• Experience with deep learningbased perception frameworks (nice to have)

• Opportunity to shape the future of Indias first humanoid product line
• Work on cutting-edge hardwaresoftware fusion challenges
• High-ownership, innovation-driven culture
• Competitive salary, ESOP options & growth path into leadership roles
