Job description

1)Act as the primary technical liaison between business stakeholders, clients, software developers, robotics teams, electrical/electronics teams, UI/UX teams, and external suppliers.

Gather and analyse business, operational, software, hardware, and integration requirements and translate them into clear technical specifications, user stories, system flows, and

2)Own the product backlog and technical priorities across multiple projects, including features,

integrations, maintenance work, bug fixes, dependencies, and delivery milestones.

3)Design end-to-end solution architecture covering frontend applications, backend services, APIs,

databases, cloud infrastructure, edge computers, networking, and hardware interfaces.

4)Conduct system analysis, technical feasibility studies, system comparisons, and technology

evaluations to recommend suitable implementation approaches.

5)Develop or coordinate initial proofs of concept to validate architecture, APIs, communication

flows, hardware integration, and user workflows before full development.

6)Convert validated PoCs and architectures into structured development tasks and guide the

project team through further implementation, integration, testing, and deployment.

7)Contribute hands-on to software development and technical troubleshooting using

technologies such as Python, Flutter/Dart, React, REST APIs, WebSockets, and real-time data

interfaces.

8)Design and support operational dashboards, mobile applications, web interfaces, and HMIs,

including creation of user flows, wireframes, and mockups using Figma.

9)Work with robotics and electrical teams to determine the robot status, telemetry, alarms,

commands, and hardware information that must be monitored or controlled from the frontend.

Integrate robotics data and application-level controls into backend and frontend systems using

ROS topics, APIs, WebSockets, and related communication interfaces; core robotics algorithms

such as SLAM, sensor fusion, navigation, and low-level control remain the responsibility of the

robotics team.

10)Design and maintain data models and application integrations using PostgreSQL and MongoDB

for operational, telemetry, mission, user, and historical data.

11)Deploy, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot Linux/Ubuntu systems used for servers and

edge-computing applications, including local-network and limited-connectivity environments.

12)Deploy and maintain applications on AWS, including EC2-based environments, Docker

containers, Nginx/reverse proxy configuration, domains, SSL certificates, scheduled services,

and production troubleshooting.

13)Identify project hardware and sensor requirements in coordination with robotics, electrical, and

client teams; research, source, compare, and technically evaluate suitable suppliers and

products.

14)Review supplier specifications, communication protocols, APIs, compatibility, cost, availability,

lead time, and technical support, and participate in supplier demonstrations and PoC testing

when required.

15)Lead and coordinate the technical project team, break architecture into work packages, assign

tasks, review implementation, resolve technical blockers, and ensure knowledge transfer and

documentation.

16)Assess project resource needs, review candidate profiles provided by HR, conduct technical

interviews and assessments, recommend suitable candidates, and help build or scale the

technical team.

17)Use Microsoft 365 tools for collaboration, reporting, documentation, and workflow automation,

including Power Automate where applicable.

18)Monitor deployed platforms, coordinate updates and maintenance, support incident

troubleshooting, and ensure technical documentation, configurations, and handover information

remain current.
