Job Description
Job Description / Role:
- Develop, improve, and maintain ROS2-based modules for localization, navigation, and behavior execution.
- Develop real-time capable C++ ROS2 nodes for localization (e.g., EKF, SLAM), obstacle detection, and motion planning.
- Integrate sensors (LiDAR, cameras, IMU, GPS) for perception and localization pipelines.
- Work with the Navigation2 (Nav2) stack for path planning, costmaps, and control.
- Tune and extend ROS2 packages for specific robotic platforms and use cases.
- Perform system testing in simulation and real-world environments, collecting data and debugging runtime performance.
- Collaborate with hardware, software, and testing teams to ensure system-level integration and stability.
- Participate in code reviews, documentation, and continuous improvement of the autonomy software stack.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelors or Masters degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline.
- 4+ years of professional experience in robotics software development.
- Proficient in modern C++ (C++17/20 or newer), with strong debugging and optimization skills.
- Strong hands-on experience with ROS2, including Nav2, tf2, rclcpp, and colcon-based build systems.
- Solid understanding of robotic localization, mapping (SLAM), and motion planning.
- Experience working with Linux development environments and real-time robotic systems.
- Ability to analyze sensor data and improve system performance through field testing and tuning.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with real-world deployments of autonomous ground vehicles (AGVs, AMRs, or robotic trucks).
- Familiarity with behavior trees (e.g., BT.CPP) for robot behavior orchestration.
- Exposure to embedded or edge computing platforms.
- Python scripting for data analysis, prototyping, or ROS2 tooling.
- Contributions to open-source robotics packages or ROS2 community projects.
- Strong mathematical knowledge. i.e., optimization, polynomial.
