About the role

Production-grade ROS2-based robotics software engineer role focused on designing, implementing, and deploying high-performance ROS2 architectures and control software for autonomous robots, including sensor integration, real-time communication, and deployment on custom hardware.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and rigorously test ROS2 architecture and C++ modules for autonomous platforms in complex environments
  • Integrate sensors and actuators with hardware to align software and hardware requirements
  • Develop diagnostic tooling and failure-analysis pipelines to detect actuator and system anomalies
  • Validate control logic using simulation environments (MuJoCo, Isaac Sim) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing
  • Package and ship production-grade software via containerised environments to edge compute hardware on physical robots, with robust CI/CD and testing
