Jobs at Contoro Robotics

Develop production robotics software for trajectory execution, task sequencing, hardware coordination, autonomy behaviors, fault recovery, and system integration. Diagnose deployed robot issues using telemetry, logs, simulation, and physical testing. Improve cycle time and reliability while integrating motion planning with controllers, sensors, end effectors, conveyors, and safety systems. Collaborate across perception, controls, hardware, testing, and deployment teams.

Build and qualify relationships with warehouse and distribution operators across Southern California. Visit customer sites, assess operational fit, manage follow-ups and CRM data, prepare proposals and performance reports, and support trade shows, networking, outbound campaigns, inbound leads, and sales content. The role requires frequent regional travel, warehouse-floor work, and close collaboration with the business development team to develop robotics automation opportunities.

Coordinate office operations, facilities, vendors, supplies, visitors, and events while supporting the employee lifecycle. Manage onboarding, offboarding, HR records, system access, eligibility verification, recruiting scheduling, candidate communication, benefits support, policies, correspondence, and administrative projects. Provide confidential HR assistance to employees and executive support in a fully onsite Monday-through-Friday role.

Develop and improve motion planning and autonomy modules (grasp planning, trajectory generation, collision avoidance, behavior trees) for deployed warehouse unloading robots. Debug production systems, write automated tests, and integrate with perception, hardware, and operations to increase pick success and reduce cycle time.

Design and implement geometric path planners and time-optimal, jerk-limited trajectory optimizers for high-DOF manipulators. Integrate perception into collision-aware planning, validate on hardware, and optimize cycle-time in constrained container environments using MoveIt/ros_control and motion-planning frameworks.

Build and maintain end-to-end event-driven analytics pipelines for telemetry from robots and cloud systems. Own metrics catalog, schema evolution, data quality validation, and performant analytical models and queries to enable reporting and self-service analytics.

Lead motion planning and trajectory optimization for a high-DOF manipulator, turning planned paths into time-optimal, dynamically feasible, safe trajectories. Own path planning architecture, integrate perception, validate performance in simulation and hardware, define metrics, benchmark approaches, and mentor engineers to improve cycle time and reliability.

The Senior Robotics Engineer will lead perception and sensor fusion projects, implement localization methods, and integrate multi-modal sensors for autonomous robotics in warehouse automation.
