Job Description

Robotics Engineer (São Paulo) — Remote

Build and validate end-to-end robotic capabilities from perception to actuation. You will work with ROS/ROS2, SLAM/localization, sensor fusion, motion planning, and control, using simulation-to-real testing to improve safety, reliability, and measurable real-world performance.

Key Responsibilities

Design and implement modular robotics software stacks using ROS/ROS2 with C++ and Python
Integrate sensors (LiDAR, cameras, IMU) and build perception pipelines with computer vision and sensor fusion
Develop and tune SLAM, localization, motion planning, trajectory generation, and control loops (e.g., PID/MPC)
Create simulation workflows in Gazebo or Isaac Sim and run reproducible sim-to-real validation
Define and track metrics such as navigation success rate, collision rate, localization drift, latency, and mission completion
Instrument logging/telemetry, debugging tools, and field test protocols for deployments

Required Qualifications

Mid-Senior experience in robotics engineering, autonomy, or related systems engineering
Strong C++/Python skills with attention to real-time constraints
Hands-on ROS/ROS2 development (messages, tf frames, lifecycle management)
Experience with SLAM/localization, calibration, sensor fusion, and robust debugging (logs/bag files/profilers)

Preferred Qualifications

Production robot deployment experience (AMRs, drones, industrial systems)
Familiarity with autonomy stacks (e.g., Nav2, MoveIt), behavior trees, and safety best practices
Experience with digital twins, sim-to-real techniques, and on-robot compute/latency profiling

Compensation

Competitive hourly rate: $30–$50/hr (USD).

Benefits/equity may vary by employer policy.
