About the role

Junior robotics software engineer role at Yondu, building and deploying software for real robots in customer warehouses across the ROS2 stack, with mentorship and on-site deployments.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and improve features across the ROS2 stack in C++ and Python - navigation, mapping and localization, perception, and motion behaviors and ship them to robots running on NVIDIA Jetson and Custom Platforms.
  • Tune and debug autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance so Robots move safely and efficiently through dynamic, human-occupied warehouse aisles.
  • Build and improve teleoperation and human-in-the-loop tooling that lets operators monitor, assist, and recover robots remotely.
  • Contribute to integrations between our robots and warehouse management systems so tasks flow correctly between the WMS and the fleet.
  • Containerize and deploy software with Docker across our fleet, and help commission and troubleshoot robots on-site at warehouse deployments.
  • Own features end-to-end; from prototype, through testing, to reliable behavior on real hardware and feed what you learn in the field back into the product.

Qualifications

  • 0–2 years of experience (internships, research, and robotics competition teams count) building software, ideally in robotics, autonomous systems, or another physical/hardware domain.
  • BS in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, or a related field or equivalent hands-on project experience.
  • Working proficiency in C++ and Python.
  • Comfort in a Linux/Ubuntu command-line environment and with Git in a team setting.
  • Genuine interest in how software meets hardware (sensors, motors, embedded compute like Jetson/Raspberry Pi), demonstrated through projects, internships, or competition teams in areas like computer vision, autonomous navigation, or motion planning.
  • Hands-on experience with ROS2 (or a similar pub/sub middleware).
  • Exposure to real robot hardware deployment, or to WMS/logistics/warehouse systems.

Skills

Required:C++PythonROS2Linux
Nice to have:Docker

Benefits

  • Real robots, real production: code runs on robots doing real work in real warehouses.
  • Ownership: meaningful features early and end-to-end delivery.
  • Mentorship: learn directly from senior roboticists.
  • Hardware access: hands-on time with AMRs, humanoid robots, manipulators, and sensors.
