Autonomy Integration Engineer - Robotics

Contoro Robotics; Austin (TX); Sur place; USD 120 000 - 160 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Contoro Robotics, an Austin-based startup, seeks a robotics software engineer to enhance motion, planning, and coordination across planning, robot control, end effectors, sensors, and material-handling equipment.

You will develop production software linking high-level autonomy decisions to reliable physical execution, focusing on reducing cycle time and improving recovery from real-world failures.

Qualifications

• BS or MS in robotics, CS, EE, ME, or equivalent industry experience.
• 3+ years of professional experience developing software for deployed robotic or automation systems.
• Proficiency in modern C++ and Python in a production environment.
• Experience developing with ROS or ROS 2 on Linux.
• Hands-on experience integrating software with physical robots, actuators, sensors, or industrial automation equipment.
• Working knowledge of robot kinematics, motion planning, trajectory execution, and controller interfaces.
• Experience with behavior trees, state machines, or similar task-orchestration frameworks.
• Strong debugging skills across software, communications, controls, and hardware interfaces.

Responsabilités

• Develop and improve software for robot trajectory execution, task sequencing, and hardware coordination
• Profile robot cycles and reduce delays across motion planning, trajectory execution, end-effector operation, sensing, and conveyor interaction
• Build and maintain reusable, validated robot motions for common operating scenarios and integrate them with online planning
• Extend behavior trees or state machines for autonomous task execution, event-driven coordination, fault handling, and recovery
• Integrate motion-planning outputs with industrial robot controllers, hardware interfaces, and safety constraints
• Diagnose production issues using logs, telemetry, simulation, and testing on physical robots
• Add instrumentation, automated tests, regression tests, and hardware validation for execution and autonomy software
• Collaborate with perception, motion planning, controls, hardware, test, and deployment engineers on cross-system improvements
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to system architecture and technical planning
