• Strong Python for automation and C++ for ROS2 validation
• Hands-on experience with ROS2, Nav2, colcon, and simulation tools (Gazebo/Ignition, Isaac Sim)
• Expertise in LiDAR, depth cameras, IMU, odometry, and sensor calibration
• Familiarity with fleet management systems, traffic control, and VDA5050 protocol
• CI/CD experience with Docker-based test environments and major CI tools
• Knowledge of functional safety standards for mobile robots (ISO 3691-4, ISO 13849)

Responsibilities

• Define and execute risk-based validation plans for robotics software stacks and hardware subsystems
• Develop automated test suites for ROS2 nodes and navigation stacks
• Build simulation environments for warehouse scenarios and author obstacle avoidance/dynamic traffic scenarios
• Set up SIL/HIL rigs for AMR controllers, LiDAR emulators, and safety sensors
• Validate LiDAR, sensors, and odometry under varying conditions
• Test SLAM, localization, path planning, and fleet orchestration
• Ensure safety protocols and ISO standards compliance
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and monitor KPIs
• Mentor robotics validation teams and collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders

Job description

Position : Robotics Validation Engineer Embedded systems

Key Responsibilities:

• Validation Strategy: Define and execute risk-based validation plans for robotics software stacks (perception, planning, control) and hardware subsystems.
• Automation & Frameworks: Develop automated test suites for ROS2 nodes, navigation stack (Nav2), and fleet APIs using Python/C++, pytest, gtest/gmock.
• Simulation & Scenario Testing: Build simulation environments (Gazebo/Ignition, Isaac Sim) for warehouse layouts; author scenarios for obstacle avoidance, dynamic traffic, and multi-robot coordination.
• SIL/HIL Validation: Set up Software-in-the-Loop and Hardware-in-the-Loop rigs for AMR controllers, LiDAR emulators, and safety sensors; automate provisioning and logging.
• Sensor QA: Validate LiDAR, depth cameras, IMU, wheel encoders, and odometry accuracy under varying conditions.
• Navigation & Fleet QA: Test SLAM, localization robustness, path planning, and fleet orchestration (traffic management, task allocation, VDA5050 compliance).
• Safety & Compliance: Execute safety protocols for AMRs (emergency stop, zone monitoring, speed limits) aligned with ISO 3691-4, ISO 13849, ANSI/RIA R15.06.
• Performance & Reliability: Measure latency, throughput, and stability under high-load scenarios; validate battery management and docking behaviors.
• CI/CD Integration: Embed automated tests into pipelines for continuous validation; monitor KPIs like defect escape rate and scenario coverage.
• Working exp with sensors
• Leadership: Act as a strong individual contributor and mentor for robotics validation teams; collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure customer experience is prioritized.

Required Qualifications:

• 5 to 8 years in robotics or AMR systems.
• Strong Python for automation and C++ for ROS2 integration validation.
• Hands-on experience with ROS2, Nav2 stack, colcon, and simulation tools (Gazebo/Ignition, Isaac Sim).
• Expertise in LiDAR, Sensors depth cameras, IMU, odometry, and sensor calibration.
• Familiarity with fleet management systems, traffic control, and VDA5050 protocol.
• CI/CD experience with GitHub Actions/GitLab CI/Jenkins; Docker-based test environments.
• Knowledge of functional safety standards for mobile robots (ISO 3691-4, ISO 13849).

Preferred Skills:

• Multi-robot coordination, dynamic obstacle handling, and SLAM algorithms.
• Robotics AMR safety PLCs, zone scanners, and emergency stop circuits.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Electronics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or a related field.
