Description du poste

Location: Tagus Park, Portugal
Work Model: Hybrid – 3 days on-site
Contract: Full-time
Salary: €55,000–€65,000 gross/year × 14 salaries
Relocation: No relocation support provided

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Robotics Software Engineer to improve the robustness, reliability, and industrial readiness of an advanced Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) software platform.

This is a highly hands-on engineering role focused on ROS1/ROS2, navigation, localization, system reliability, and real-world robot deployments.

What You'll Do

• Support the migration of the robotics stack from ROS1 to ROS2
• Improve robustness and stability of deployed AMR systems
• Troubleshoot navigation, localization, sensor, and system-level issues
• Debug across ROS1, ROS2, Docker, and Linux
• Improve recovery strategies, fault handling, testing, and software quality
• Investigate difficult real-world edge cases and recurring field issues
• Support customer deployments and production incidents
• Collaborate with Robotics, QA, Backend, DevOps, and Product teams

Requirements

• Strong ROS1 and ROS2 experience
• Proven experience deploying robots in real-world/production environments
• Strong C++ and Python
• Experience with navigation, localization, sensors, and robot lifecycle management
• Strong Linux/Ubuntu troubleshooting skills
• Experience with Docker, Git, CI/CD, and distributed systems
• Production debugging and root-cause analysis experience
• Automated testing and software quality practices
• Ability to work hands-on across the robotics software stack

Nice to Have

• AMR, industrial robotics, or fleet management experience
• VDA 5050, traffic management, or multi-robot systems
• DDS, Kubernetes, Rust
• Gazebo/Ignition and simulation validation
• Safety-related development / IEC 62443
• Performance profiling
• Mapping and localization expertise

Important

This is not a research, simulation-only, or pure robotics algorithm role.

We need an engineer with real-world robot deployment experience who can diagnose production problems, improve system robustness, and understand why robots behave the way they do.

The role is approximately 70–80% hands-on engineering.
