ROS Engineer I

Growth For Impact; India; On-site; INR 600,000 - 900,000; Full time

Job summary

Growth For Impact is seeking a robotics software engineer to develop ROS 2 nodes in Python and C++. You will define interfaces, write launch files, and integrate sensors and actuators across vehicle variants. Experience with DDS, rosbag2, and embedded platforms is beneficial.

You will work with embedded, mechanical, controls, and product teams to bring field-tested software to open-water trials, ensuring robust diagnostics and configuration management.

Qualifications

• B.E/B.Tech in Robotics, Electronics, Computer Science, Electrical, or related fields.
• 0–2 years in robotics or ROS development.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain ROS 2 nodes in Python and/or C++ for sensing, control, telemetry, and mission execution.
• Define, implement, and version message, service, and action interfaces between subsystems.
• Write launch files, parameter sets, and configuration profiles that allow the same codebase to run across different vehicle variants without code changes.
• Bring up and integrate payloads IMU, depth/pressure sensors, DVL, altimeters, imaging and scanning sonar, cameras
• Interface thrusters, motor controllers, and auxiliary actuators over serial, CAN, and Ethernet
• Configure DDS settings and QoS profiles for the topside–vehicle link
• Build and maintain simulation environments and hardware-in-the-loop setups
• Deploy and test software on embedded and edge compute platforms
• Instrument systems with rosbag2 logging, diagnostics topics, and health monitoring
• Reproduce field-reported issues in a controlled environment and drive fixes through to verified closure
• Participate in tank, harbour, and open-water trials
• Document nodes, interfaces, parameters, and system configurations
• Work alongside embedded, mechanical, controls, and product teams during system-level integration
