Job description

Change the future with us.

We are looking for dedicated and talented people who solve ever-changing challenges, customer needs, and questions from colleagues with clever concepts and creativity. We embrace change and work with curious minds re-inventing the future of work. Join us and let us focus together on what’s truly important: making lives better with new ideas and the latest technology around the world.

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.
Collaborate with platform architects and backend engineers to define reusable interface contracts between physical systems and platform services.
Help enable basic VLA data collection patterns by combining robot state and vision/perception streams.
Support data quality, calibration, timestamping, modality alignment, and integration troubleshooting.
Contribute to the design of validation and inspection workflows for robotics episodes and system behavior.
Help shape future support for workflow execution and machine-level orchestration by ensuring connectivity designs are scalable and extensible.
Work closely with customer-facing or pilot-oriented teams when new robotic sources must be onboarded.

What you will bring:

Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
5+ years of experience with robotics software, integration engineering, or edge-connected systems.
Experience with Python and/or C++ in robotics or integration-heavy environments.
Familiarity with ROS/ROS2, robot APIs, camera/sensor systems, and practical integration debugging.
Understanding of robot-state data, telemetry, task execution context, and perception or control-adjacent signals.
Strong systems thinking and comfort working across hardware-software boundaries.
Ability to work hands-on in a fast-moving, cross-disciplinary engineering team.

What sets you apart:

Experience with industrial robots, PLC-connected systems, teleoperation data, or industrial camera systems.
Experience with time synchronization, multimodal sensor fusion, or high-throughput data capture.
Familiarity with UR, RTDE-like interfaces, edge compute setups, or industrial middleware.
Exposure to robotics validation harnesses, simulation environments, or physical AI experimentation.

Why Join Us?

Impact: Build the founding team and platform capability for a strategic Physical AI initiative in Canada.
Innovation: Work at the intersection of robotics, AI, industrial software, workflow orchestration, and platform engineering.
Leadership: Shape the direction, culture, and operating model of a new strategic engineering organization.
Collaboration: Partner with leading global research, product, and engineering teams.
Growth: Help define how Physical AI platform capabilities scale from data foundations to runtime-enabled industrial applications.

Salary:

Salary iscommensuratewith experience, and base salary ranges between $130,000 - $ 155,000 CAD excluding bonus and benefits. In addition to base salary, this role includes eligibility for an annual discretionary bonus of 10 % of base salary, based on Company performance metrics.
