Orchestration Engine Development

• Build and optimize the multi-robot orchestration engine to enable intelligent task distribution and coordination across a fleet of robots.

Robotic Interface & Interoperability Development

• Design and implement interfaces for integrating diverse robotic platforms into a unified system.
• Ensure interoperability across different robot types and vendors using standardized or custom robotics middleware frameworks.

System Testing & Production Rollout

• Conduct comprehensive system-level and integration testing.
• Deploy and validate the system in real-world environments with focus on reliability and stability.

User Engagement & Requirements Engineering

• Participate in user workshops and discussions to understand operational challenges.
• Translate user needs into detailed user stories and technical requirements.

Documentation & Knowledge Management

• Create and maintain clear, structured technical documents including system design specs, operation manuals, and deployment guides.

Team Collaboration & Mentorship

• Mentor junior engineers and interns, providing technical guidance and support.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including robotics, AI, and product teams to ensure successful solution rollouts.

The ideal profile should have:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related engineering field.
• 3+ years of experience in software/system development, preferably involving robotics or distributed systems.
• Strong programming proficiency in Java, Python, or similar languages.
• Hands-on experience with ROS/ROS2 and real-time robotic systems.
• Solid understanding of system integration, message-passing architectures, and robotic communication protocols.
• Familiarity with advanced path-planning algorithms and optimization techniques (e.g., A*, Dijkstra, RRT).
• Experience with unit/integration testing and CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with production system roll-out and system upgrade.
• Strong documentation and technical communication skills
