• Strong learning mindsetcurious, adaptable, and able to figure things out
• We value skills + ownership over degrees or scores

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain ROS/ROS2 nodes for manipulator control
• Work with robotic arms (6-DOF or similar) for pick, place, and manipulation tasks
• Implement motion planning using MoveIt / MoveIt2
• Integrate sensors (cameras, encoders, force/torque sensors) with ROS
• Perform simulation and testing using Gazebo / RViz / MuJoCo
• Debug kinematics, dynamics, and control issues
• Support hardware integration and on-robot testing
• Document system design, workflows, and test results

Required Skills

• Strong understanding of ROS / ROS2 architecture
• Experience with robotic manipulators and kinematics
• Programming skills in C++ and/or Python
• Familiarity with MoveIt, TF, URDF/XACRO
• Understanding of control systems
• Comfortable working with Linux

Preferred Skills

• Experience with industrial robots (UR, FANUC, ABB, etc.)
• Knowledge of inverse kinematics and trajectory planning
• Exposure to real hardware integration
• Understanding of safety concepts in robotics
