Job Summary: We are seeking a highly skilled Robotics Software Engineer with deep expertise in robotic middleware and C++/Python development. This is an exciting opportunity to work hands-on with physical robotic platforms and integrate cutting-edge AI algorithms into real-world applications.
Key Responsibilities:
Design, develop, and maintain robotics software frameworks interfacing with robotic hardware and perception systems.
Integrate and calibrate perception sensors such as LiDAR, cameras, and tactile sensors.
Build abstraction layers to support modular AI algorithm deployment for robotic manipulation and control.
Translate advanced AI research into robust, scalable production-ready implementations.
Optimize software for real-time performance in simulation (e.g., IsaacSim) and live environments.
Troubleshoot issues across software, hardware, and system integration.
Contribute to documentation, code reviews, and enforce software engineering best practices.
Stay current with robotics software trends and emerging technologies.
Required Qualifications:
5+ years of professional experience in software engineering.
Strong proficiency in C++ and Python.
Hands-on expertise in robotic middleware platforms, especially ROS/ROS2.
Familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and embedded systems (a plus).
Strong understanding of AI/ML algorithms and their application in robotic systems.
Experience with version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and unit/integration testing.
Working knowledge of simulation platforms, especially IsaacSim.
Strong problem-solving skills and a collaborative mindset.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
