Job description

Perceptyne is a Deeptech Robotics and AI startup building Industrial Humanoid Robots for automating dexterous tasks. We are revolutionizing the way products are assembled in -automotive and electronics industries.

At our core, we like to build things, we evangelize great ideas, and we are grounded.

At Perceptyne, we greatly value these dichotomies:

• Having experience while not losing a first principles approach.
• Having a large vision while not losing attention to detail
• Working on disruptive tech while hitting the market ASAP

Work Description

As a Robotics Research Engineer, you will be involved in building the software stack for Perceptyne’s Humanoid / Semi-Humanoid . Your work will span research, design and development of algorithms for motion planning and control. You shall develop scalable software architectures for deploying Humanoid/Semi-humanoid robots in the real world with focus on reliability and speed. You will be joining a fast-paced startup where your contributions will directly shape the product and the future of robotic manipulation —expect challenges, learning, and growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop motion planning and control algorithms for dual arm dexterous robots.
• Develop and maintain scalable software that can be deployed in real world.
• Optimize software for real-time performance.
• Test and verify algorithms and software on physical robots and simulations.
• Diagnose and resolve issues in complex, cross-domain systems.
• Engage in wide range of tasks across the robotics-system ranging from conducting research, testing & benchmarking algorithms, developing software, hardware system
• Stay up-to-date with the recent advancements in the fields of Robotics and be able to translate them to software for testing and prototyping.

setup and software deployment.

Requirements

• Bachelor's / Master’s degree in Computer science/ Electrical/Electronics/Communications/Instrumentation Engineering.
• 3+ years of experience in developing software for robots (Experience working on manipulators is a plus).
• Excellent C++ and Python programming skills. Real world experience writing multi-threaded applications is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with ROS/ROS 2 and frameworks such as Moveit, Nav2 etc.
• Hands-on experience with planning frameworks like OMPL.
• Hands-on experience with sensors like Depth Cameras, Lidars etc.
• Strong fundamentals in Robotic Manipulation (Kinematics, Jacobians, Dynamics, Trajectory Generation etc.), AMR (Mapping, Localization, Navigation etc.) and Strong foundational understanding of mathematical concepts including matrix operations, transforms, coordinate frames etc.
• Strong fundamentals in physics, with a well-developed intuitive understanding of core principles.

Qualities we value

• Passion for Robotics and AI, with a deep curiosity for solving real-world problems.
• Strong bias for action — you don’t wait for perfect conditions to execute.
• A proactive, go-getter attitude with a willingness to take initiative and drive projects forward.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams.
• Relentless problem-solving drive, with the grit and attitude to break down and overcome challenges that initially seem insurmountable.
