Job summary

Botsync Pte Ltd is seeking a senior robotics software leader to own the architecture and technical direction of core AMR software, including navigation, SLAM, and state machines. You will mentor engineers, drive design reviews, and coordinate with hardware, product, and regional teams to keep releases moving.

You will own roadmap decomposition, tackle hard runtime problems, and push for clean code, security, and scalable solutions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent.
• 5+ years building production robotics software, with strong C++ and Python.
• Deep, hands-on experience with ROS / ROS2, and ownership of navigation or SLAM systems.
• Comfortable on Ubuntu / Linux development environments.
• Experience leading or mentoring other engineers — technical leads count.
• Sharp problem-solving instincts: identify root causes, not just symptoms.
• Self-starter who runs independently and learns fast on the job.
• Bonus: end-to-end system knowledge spanning mechanical, electrical, and software.

Responsibilities

• Own the architecture and technical direction of core MAG AMR software systems — navigation, SLAM, or state machine — from design through production deployment.
• Provide technical leadership across teams — mentoring engineers, driving design reviews, and escalation for hard runtime issues.
• Set Technical direction and architecture for the MAG AMR software stack — navigation, SLAM, and state machine design.
• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of robotics software engineers, including hiring and performance conversations.
• Break down roadmap priorities into workable technical plans and assign ownership across the team.
• Stay hands-on with the hardest problems — algorithm design, tricky bugs, and system-level tradeoffs.
• Coordinate with cross-country teams — hardware, product, and other regional engineering pods — to keep releases moving.
• Keep security and code quality standards enforced through regular reviews and vulnerability assessments.
• Optimize navigation algorithms — improved planning, path tracking, and motion control.
• Run a high bar on code review and engineering practice across the team, not just your own commits.
• Represent the software team in planning and roadmap discussions with leadership.
• Write and maintain clear, thorough documentation of the codebase and development activities.
• Support on-site robot deployments and field testing when required.
• Partner with the product team to keep user documentation accurate and current.
