The Role
The Senior Robotics Engineer will design, optimize localization and SLAM algorithms, create perception modules, and mentor junior engineers while ensuring production-quality software deployment.
Summary Generated by Built In

We are looking for a Senior Robotics Engineer who excels in localization, SLAM, and perception-driven robotics. You will design, build, and optimize algorithms that let our robots understand where they are and what surrounds them—then deliver those capabilities in production-grade ROS/Docker environments. If you thrive on turning cutting-edge research into reliable, real-world performance, we’d love to meet you.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, implement, and refine localization & SLAM pipelines for mobile and stationary robots.
  • Build perception modules for 3-D point-cloud processing, object detection, tracking, and sensor fusion.
  • Integrate, test, and release software in ROS with Docker-based CI/CD.
  • Profile, debug, and tune performance on CPU / GPU hardware for real-time operation.
  • Work with mechanical, firmware, and product teams to ship robust, scalable solutions.
  • Own features end-to-end—from architecture through field validation—and mentor junior engineers.
  • Track emerging research; propose and prototype improvements to keep us at the state of the art.

Requirements

Minimum skills:

  • 5 + years delivering localization and SLAM in production robots.
  • Deep knowledge of perception libraries (PCL or equivalent), classical & ML-based detection/tracking, and multi-sensor data fusion.
  • Expert C++ and solid Python; strong grasp of software design patterns, testing, and code review.
  • Hands-on ROS 1 / 2, Docker, and automated build / deploy pipelines.
  • Demonstrated success bringing robots from lab to field.

Preferred skills:

  • M.S. or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, or related discipline.
  • GPU programming (CUDA, TensorRT) and real-time optimization.
  • Embedded or hardware-level integration experience.

Benefits
  • Competitive salary
  • Working with exceptionally talented and diverse team
  • Visa and relocation support
