Service Robotics Engineer

A fast-growing, research-driven manufacturer committed to socially impactful automation. Multidisciplinary teams iterate quickly, share knowledge openly, and celebrate elegant engineering that improves real lives. Remote collaboration is embedded in our culture; physical labs remain available for integration and validation sprints. 

Responsibilities  

– Craft end-to-end robot architectures using ROS 2, NAV2, and custom drivers for mobile bases.  

– Develop robust perception pipelines in Python / C++ that fuse LiDAR, RGB-D, and IMU data—achieving sub-5 cm localization in dynamic crowds.  

– Implement human-robot interaction behaviors (speech, touch, light cues) that delight users while complying with ADA and ISO 10218 safety standards.  

– Design OTA firmware and cloud APIs on AWS IoT Core (or GCP IoT)—supporting secure updates for fleets exceeding 1 000 units.  

– Run iterative field trials in hospitality, healthcare, and retail sites; analyze telemetry, then roll out performance patches within weekly sprints.  

– Partner with industrial design to balance manufacturability, cost targets, and serviceability; validate concepts through rapid SLA/FFF prototyping.  

– Document every interface, fail-safe, and shutdown routine—because service uptime is not negotiable.  

Requirements  

– Bachelor’s or higher in Robotics, Electrical, Mechanical, or Mechatronics Engineering.  

– 4+ years building autonomous mobile robots or AGVs operating around untrained humans.  

– Proven mastery of ROS (1 or 2), MoveIt, and Navigation Stack—plus strong C++17 and modern Python.  

– Hands-on experience integrating LiDARs (Sick, Ouster) and depth cameras (Intel RealSense, ZED) with real-time sensor fusion.  

– Familiarity with Android / iOS SDKs for companion apps and remote diagnostics.  

– Working knowledge of IEC 61508, ISO 13849, or UL 1740 functional-safety frameworks.  

– Cloud fluency: containerized microservices, MQTT, CI/CD pipelines, fleet metrics dashboards.  

– Comfortable soldering a PCB in the morning and refactoring a Kalman filter in the afternoon—versatility matters.  

– Clear, concise English communication; you translate technical complexity into actionable insights for non-roboticists.
