Job description

The Vibe:

Build the \"AI Soul\" for Malaysia’s Humanoid Fleet and you get to play with Unitree Robots!

The Mission:

Are you a ROS2 Wizard? You won't just be maintaining code; you’ll be the architect of how our robots think, move, and talk. You’ll take world-class hardware and build the custom applications and AI behaviors that turn \"cool gadgets\" into essential industrial solutions. Starting this September, you will shape our engineering culture from the ground up.

What You’ll Do:

Own the Software Stack: Lead our ROS2, Python/C++, and NVIDIA Jetson deployment environment.

Hardware-to-AI Bridge: Use the Unitree SDK (and future brand SDKs) to create custom behaviors, autonomous navigation, and LLM-powered interactions.

Edge AI Deployment: Optimize AI models (Vision, Voice, SLAM) to run flawlessly on edge devices.

Field hero: Lead technical deployments on-site. When a high-profile client needs a custom solution in a factory or a mall, you’re the one who makes it happen.

Scaling: As we expand and add new humanoid brands to our fleet, you will lead the integration of their \"brains\" into our ecosystem.

Who You Are:

A ROS2 Wizard who is comfortable living in the Linux terminal.

Proficient in Python and C++ with experience in hardware/software integration.

Someone who loves to experiment—if a new AI paper drops today, you’re testing it on a robot tomorrow.

Ready for occasional interstate travel to support our nationwide solutions.

Ready to build the future of robotics in ASEAN?

WIRAbot is not your typical tech company. We are a scrappy, fast-moving, and highly ambitious robotics solutions house based in Phileo Damansara. We don’t do corporate politics, \"innovation theater\", or pointless meetings. We value speed, clean code, and hardware that survives the real world.

The Perks:

MRT Access: Our office is a 3-minute walk from the Phileo Damansara MRT. Skip the KL traffic jam.

Agnostic Future: You will learn multiple humanoid platforms (Unitree & beyond), not just one.

Adventure: Occasional interstate travel (covered) to deploy bots across Malaysia.

Zero BS: We value impact over seniority and results over clock-in times.

Starting September 2026. If you are a builder who wants to work on the world's most advanced humanoid robots, we want to see your work. No long corporate cycles—just real robots and raw impact.

Your application will include the following questions:

• Which of the following statements best describes your right to work in Malaysia?
