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 distributedsystems.
• 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.

Good to Have

• Experience with robotics middleware frameworks (e.g. Open-RMF, VDA5050, or proprietary vendor SDKs).
• Familiarity with robot interoperability design and implementation, including multi-vendor system integration.
• Experience working with Docker, Kubernetes, or other containerization technologies.
• Understanding of MQTT, DDS, or other messaging protocols used in robotics.
