Senior Robotics Software Engineer I

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize high-performance C++ software for controlling and coordinating large-scale robotic arms.
• Develop robust motion planning and trajectory generation algorithms to safely navigate industrial arms through complex workspaces.
• Implement real-time sensor fusion and state estimation algorithms (using sensors like IMUs, LiDAR, etc.) to improve arm localization and end-effector precision.
• Program robotic arm motions in coordination with other systems.
• Develop and maintain simulated environments and automated test frameworks to support continuous integration and system verification.
• Lead system integration and validation efforts across hardware and software.
• Participate in architecture decisions for controls and electrical systems, including component selection and standardization.
• Participate in design & code reviews to maintain consistency and high-quality output.

Job requirements

• Masters Degree or higher in Software Engineering, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of professional experience in robotics software development.
• Expert-level proficiency in modern C++ (17 or newer) and Python within a professional robotics software development environment.
• Deep foundational understanding of robotic arm kinematics (forward and inverse), multi-body dynamics, and motion planning.
• Hands-on experience with robotic platforms, sensors, actuators, localization, perception, and control systems.
• Practical experience designing and optimizing sensor fusion and state estimation algorithms (e.g., Kalman Filters).
• Strong knowledge of autonomy algorithms, robotics frameworks (such as ROS), and simulation environments.
• Experience programming industrial robots in high-level languages.
