Job summary

Syncere is seeking a Robotics Engineer to build core robotics systems for LUME to move, perceive, and operate reliably in real environments. You will work across controls, navigation, localization, mapping, sensor fusion, and low-level software, collaborating with researchers to deploy cutting-edge algorithms on physical robots.

You’ll develop sensor fusion, state estimation, and interfaces between learned policies and robot hardware.

Qualifications

• Strong C++ and Python skills.
• Experience with ROS/ROS 2 and robotics frameworks.
• Experience deploying software on real robotic systems.
• Experience integrating sensors, actuators, motor controllers, and embedded systems.
• Strong debugging skills across software and hardware.
• Able to lead work with minimal guidance in a fast-moving environment.
• Clear and concise communication.

Responsibilities

• Develop controls, navigation, localization, mapping, and motion planning systems.
• Build sensor fusion and state estimation across cameras, depth sensors, IMUs, encoders, and other sensors.
• Integrate motors, actuators, sensors, embedded controllers, and onboard compute.
• Collaborate with researchers to deploy new manipulation, perception, and robot-learning algorithms on real robots.
• Build interfaces between learned policies and low-level robot systems.
• Test, debug, and improve robot performance on physical hardware.
• Develop tools for calibration, logging, testing, and system debugging.
• Help take LUME from prototypes to reliable systems deployed in real homes.
• Work flexible shifts including nights/weekends as needed.
