Robotics Engineer

Robotics Engineer (Remote, Full-Time)

Design, build, and validate robotics capabilities for real-world deployments. This role spans autonomy engineering (perception, localization, mapping, planning, control), simulation and test automation, production debugging, and reliability improvements. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to define measurable requirements (safety, latency, accuracy, uptime) and deliver iterative improvements. You will also support data-driven feedback loops that improve model performance through dataset curation, labeling coordination, QA evaluation, and regression testing.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain robotics software components using ROS2, C++, and Python
• Implement perception pipelines using computer vision, sensor fusion, and state estimation
• Develop SLAM and localization modules with robust failure handling and recovery behaviors
• Implement motion planning and control loops with constraints, obstacle avoidance, and trajectory tracking
• Create simulation scenarios and simulation-to-real validation strategies to reduce on-robot risk
• Design telemetry, logging, and debugging workflows for field incidents and performance regressions
• Establish test coverage with unit, integration, and hardware-in-the-loop testing
• Partner with data operations to improve training data quality, annotation guidelines compliance, and QA evaluation
• Document designs, runbooks, and incident postmortems to improve reliability over time
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Mid-Senior experience shipping robotics or autonomous systems in production
• Strong C++ and Python engineering skills with code review and CI/CD habits
• Hands-on experience with ROS2, message design, and real-time constraints
• Practical knowledge of motion planning and control systems
• Experience with SLAM, sensor fusion, or state estimation (e.g., EKF/UKF)
• Ability to define metrics, design experiments, and drive model performance improvements
• Clear communication and collaboration in remote teams
