Job description

Our client is developing an AI-powered robotics platform that integrates AMR and drone systems for retail, warehouse, and logistics applications.

We are looking for a Senior Robotics System Engineer to take ownership of robotic system development, integration, testing, and deployment. You will work across robotics software, hardware, sensors, and autonomous systems to build reliable robotic solutions for real-world environments.

Candidates from Robotics, AMR/AGV, Autonomous Systems, Embedded Systems, or Robot Integration backgrounds are welcome.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development and integration of AMR robotic platforms, from prototype/POC through production deployment.
• Develop and optimise robotic control and system-level software for mobile robots and their interaction with other robotic systems.
• Integrate and configure sensors including LiDAR, cameras, depth cameras, and IMU.
• Work with ROS/ROS2 and relevant navigation frameworks to integrate robotic software and hardware components.
• Conduct robot commissioning, system testing, troubleshooting, and performance optimisation in real-world environments.
• Collaborate with software, hardware, mechanical, electrical, and external engineering teams to deliver fully integrated robotic systems.
• Support the transition from prototype to production, including hardware/component selection, vendor coordination, technical documentation, and deployment.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or above in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• Professional experience in Robotics, AMR/AGV, Autonomous Systems, Embedded Systems, or related areas.
• Strong programming skills in C++ and/or Python.
• Hands-on experience with robotic system integration and real-time systems.
• Familiarity with ROS/ROS2 and robotic software frameworks.
• Experience working with sensors such as LiDAR, IMU, cameras, or depth sensors.
• Solid understanding of robotics systems, hardware/software integration, and system-level troubleshooting.
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to work across multiple engineering disciplines.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with AMR, AGV, mobile robots, drones, or autonomous vehicles.
• Experience with SLAM, localisation, path planning, or navigation.
• Familiarity with ROS2 Navigation Stack (Nav2).
• Experience with motor control, actuators, chassis systems, or robotic hardware.
• Experience with robot commissioning and field deployment.
• Knowledge of electrical systems, power distribution, or hardware integration.
• Proven experience taking robotic products from prototype/POC to commercial deployment.
• Experience in warehouse automation, logistics, retail robotics, or industrial robotics.
