About the role: Robotics Integration Engineer for Robot, Vision, and Edge Connectivity

Are you a robotics software engineer who enjoys connecting real-world systems to scalable software platforms?

Do you like working with robots, cameras, sensors, edge systems, APIs, and data flows that bridge physical systems and software intelligence?

We are seeking a Robotics Integration Engineer to connect robot systems, camera systems, sensors, edge devices, and teleoperation or runtime-adjacent data sources into the Canada Physical AI platform. This role is critical for enabling practical data collection, connector strategies, and the foundations for future workflow execution and Level 3 skill support.

You will help ensure that real industrial robotics and sensing systems can be integrated into a coherent, reliable, and reusable platform architecture!

What will you do?

• Build and maintain integrations with robot controllers, camera systems, sensors, PLC/edge systems, and other physical data sources.
• Develop connector patterns for robot state, action, telemetry, timing, event, and perception data.
• Support practical approaches for high-frequency data capture and synchronization where needed.
• Integrate robotics-related software components such as ROS/ROS2, device SDKs, vendor APIs, and edge adapters where appropriate.
