Robotics Engineer

Overview:

As a Robotics Engineer at Social Hardware, youll build and integrate advanced robotic platformsspanning tele-operation, industrial, and defence systems. Bring your deep ROS/ROS2 experience and actuator expertise to develop robust, modular robots for real-world deployment.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain ROS/ROS2 software stacks for robotic arms, mobile bases, and tele-operation systems.
• Integrate and program actuators, sensors, and communication protocols (CAN, EtherCAT, Modbus, etc.).
• Work with AI/ML and hardware teams to enable advanced perception, control, and autonomy.
• Troubleshoot and optimise motion control, safety, and system reliability.
• Customise and modularise robot software for rapid adaptation to customer requirements.

Requirements:

• 2+ years of experience in robotics engineering with hands-on ROS and/or ROS2 experience.
• Proficiency in C++ (and Python); strong experience with actuator integration and low-level communication protocols.
• Experience with industrial and collaborative robotic arms, mobile robots, or UGVs.
• Knowledge of kinematics, motion planning, and real-time control.
• Hardware bring-up, sensor integration, and field deployment experience are a strong plus.
• Experience with tele-operation, vision systems, and multi-robot setups is desirable.
