Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Robotics Engineer with deep expertise in SLAM, sensor fusion (EKF\-based localization), navigation, and control. In this role, you will design and implement core autonomy software for our robotic platforms using ROS 2\.
Key Responsibilities
Design, implement, and optimize SLAM and localization pipelines
* Develop sensor fusion systems using Extended Kalman Filters (EKF) or similar estimators
* Fuse data from LiDAR, IMU, wheel odometry, GPS, and cameras
* Build and maintain navigation and motion planning stacks
* Develop and tune control algorithms for mobile robots
* Implement robotics software using ROS 2 in C\+\+ and Python
* Integrate and validate autonomy software on real robotic hardware
* Debug, profile, and improve system performance in real\-world deployments
* Collaborate closely with perception, hardware, and systems teams
Required Qualifications
Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
* 4\+ years of hands\-on robotics experience
* Strong practical experience with:
* SLAM and localization
* Sensor fusion and state estimation
* EKF\-based systems (e.g., robot\_localization or custom EKFs)
* Navigation and motion planning
* Control systems (PID, kinematics, dynamics)
* Strong ROS 2 experience (nodes, TF, lifecycle, Nav2 integration)
* Excellent programming skills in C\+\+ and Python
* Experience working with real robots and physical sensors
* Solid understanding of coordinate frames, transforms, and probabilistic estimation
Nice to Have
PhD\-level research experience in localization, SLAM, or state estimation
* Familiarity with UKF, factor graphs, VIO, or optimization\-based methods
* Experience with Nav2, Behavior Trees, or custom planners
* Publications, open\-source contributions, or robotics demos
What We Offer
Work on cutting\-edge autonomous robotic systems
* A collaborative engineering\-driven environment
* High ownership and real\-world impact
