AMR Software Engineer (ROS/ ROS2 / SLAM)

Private Advertiser; Batu Kawan; On-site; MYR 120,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

AMR Software Engineer role focusing on ROS/ROS2, SLAM-related tasks, and industrial protocols for AMRs in semiconductor cleanrooms. You will implement application-layer software, state machines, and UI/diagnostic tools for FAE field teams.

Responsibilities include ROS/ROS2 code for work order processing, docking, and motion execution, plus interfaces to RMS/MCS/MES/WMS via VDA5050, RESTful API, WebSocket, and MQTT, with integration of doors, elevators, PLCs, and E84 sensors.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of software development experience in robotics or industrial automation.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Automation, Robotics Engineering, or related fields.
• Proficient in C++ or Python; Linux environments; Git; CMake; Docker; ROS/ROS2 architecture (Topics, Services, Actions, TF frames).
• Familiar with TCP/IP, HTTP, MQTT, Modbus; knowledge of VDA5050, SEMI E84, SECS-GEM, or SLAM/path planning algorithms is a major plus.

Responsibilities

• Write and maintain ROS/ROS2 or proprietary robot framework code for work order processing, station docking, and precise motion execution in semiconductor cleanrooms.
• Develop interfaces between AMRs and upper-level systems (RMS/MCS, MES/WMS) via VDA5050, RESTful API, WebSocket, MQTT; integrate peripherals like doors, elevators, PLCs, and E84 sensors.
• Create UI tools for field mapping, calibration, parameter configuration, and diagnostics; establish structured log outputs and FAE training guides.
• Support FAEs on bug resolution and participate in proof-of-concept site commissioning.

Job description

AMR Software Engineer (ROS/ ROS2 / SLAM)

Responsible for AMR application-layer software development, state machine business logic, industrial communication protocols (E84, Modbus, SECS-GEM), scheduling system interfaces, and creating UI/diagnostic tools for FAE field teams.

Key responsibilities

Write and maintain ROS/ROS2 or proprietary robot framework code for work order processing, station docking, error recovery, safety state machines, and precise motion execution in semiconductor cleanrooms

Develop interfaces between AMRs and upper-level systems (RMS/MCS, MES/WMS) via VDA5050, RESTful API, WebSocket, MQTT, and integrate peripherals like automatic doors, elevators, PLCs, and E84 optical sensors

Create UI tools for field mapping, calibration, parameter configuration, and diagnostics; establish structured log outputs and FAE training guides

Support FAEs on deep-level bug resolution (software crashes, protocol drops, state machine deadlocks) and participate in proof-of-concept (POC) site commissioning
