Job description

Danish Award-winning Team and Technology

Reblade is a Danish tech startup founded in 2020, developing automated wind turbine blade repairs. We design and build drone-based and robotic systems that utilize computer vision, sensors, and cloud software to deliver accurate and efficient operations and reporting workflows for some of the world's largest wind energy operators.

Our team consists of highly skilled engineers within robotics, mechanical engineering, control systems, embedded systems, computer vision, and other software specialists. We have several PhDs, post‑docs and a professor on the team. The majority of our employees have relocated from all over the world to Denmark, creating a strong international culture of autonomy, technical excellence, and collaborative innovation.

Our team is proud of Eurostars, Eureka, and EIC Accelerator award winners through Horizon Europe and the European Innovation Council. We are also proud to be listed as the #1 Startup in AI 2023, #1 Robotic Startup 2024 in Odense Robotics and #1 Startup in Energy Transition 2024 in the EU.

About the Role

We are seeking a skilled Senior Robotics Software Engineer with strong experience in ROS2-based control, system integration, and simulation. The ideal candidate will design, implement, and maintain ROS2 nodes, data communication pipelines, and simulation environments for robotic and autonomous systems. This role emphasizes Python-based development with potential expansion into C++, focusing on real‑time performance, reliability, and safety in distributed robotics architectures.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain ROS2 nodes, topics, and services using Python (and C++ where applicable)
• Implement communication interfaces between sensors, actuators, and control modules via DDS or middleware

• Document system architecture, interface definitions, and deployment procedures

Requirements

• Proven experience (min. 5+ years) in ROS2-based development using Python (and optionally C++)
• Solid understanding of robotic communication frameworks, data exchange, and DDS concepts
• Hands‑on experience with simulation tools (Gazebo, Webots) and HIL/SIL testing environments
• Familiarity with robotic sensors, actuators, and system integration workflows
• Strong skills in Ubuntu/Linux, Docker, and software deployment automation
• Strong written and verbal English (due to asynchronous communication with a global, English‑speaking team)
• Ability to work from a home office with a fast and stable internet connection (15 Mb/s), a modern laptop/PC, noise‑cancelling headset, and access to a quiet workspace

Position Details

• Location: Remote (Pakistan)
• Hours: 11:00 – 20:00 PKT (aligned with CET business hours)
• Contract: Full‑time freelance contract
