Senior Robotics Navigation Architect (C++/ROS)

Aeolus Robotics, Inc.; Wien; Hybrid; EUR 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Aeolus Robotics, Inc. is seeking a Senior Robotics Navigation Software Engineer in Vienna to own core navigation capabilities for autonomous service robots deployed in real-world spaces.

You will advance graph-based localization, SLAM interfaces, human tracking, and dynamic obstacle-aware trajectory planning across multi-floor environments, with a focus on robust, production-grade C++ code and cross-team collaboration.

Qualifications

• Motion/path planning concepts including graph search, trajectory generation, obstacle avoidance, optimization.
• Integrating planning with localization, perception, costmaps, control and behavior layers.
• Debugging complex robot behaviors via logs, visualization, simulation and physical testing.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, integrate, and improve autonomous navigation software for mobile robots in real indoor environments.
• Develop and optimize 2D navigation algorithms: global/local planning, constrained motion planning, obstacle avoidance, and recovery.
• Integrate sensor inputs (LiDAR, depth, infrared, ultrasonic) into costmaps and navigation stack.
• Analyze real robot navigation failures using logs, telemetry, simulation, replay tooling and controlled experiments.
• Collaborate with perception, control, embedded, QA and product teams to deploy navigation features to production.
• Write clean, tested C++ software for long-term deployment.
