Robotics Platform Architect — Multi-Robot Orchestration

Accenture; Kirkland (WA); On-site; USD 141,000 - 311,000; Full time

Job summary

Accenture is seeking a Robotics Technical Architect to lead end-to-end architecture for robotics intelligence platforms, autonomous systems, and fleet orchestration. You will define patterns for foundation models, synthetic data, and on-robot inference, while guiding cross-functional teams in deployment and lifecycle management.

Travel up to 75% is required; 8+ years in robotics and strong ROS/ROS 2, Python and C++ skills are essential.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional experience in robotics engineering, robotics software, autonomous systems or related fields.
• Demonstrated experience architecting and deploying robotics systems in production environments.
• Strong proficiency in ROS/ROS 2, Python and C++ for robotics applications and platform integration.
• Hands-on experience with robotics intelligence capabilities such as perception, localization, SLAM, motion planning, sensor fusion, controls or autonomous navigation.
• Experience with fleet management, multi-robot coordination, orchestration platforms or distributed robotic systems.
• Experience integrating robotics with industrial systems and protocols (PLC/SCADA, OPC UA, MQTT, etc.).
• Understanding of cloud, edge and GPU-enabled deployment patterns, containers, APIs, observability and production operations.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience.

Responsibilities

• Define and own end-to-end technical architecture for robotics intelligence platforms, autonomous systems, robotic fleets and robotics services.
• Architect robotic intelligence platforms spanning perception, localization, SLAM, sensor fusion, motion planning, and autonomous decision logic.
• Define architecture patterns for robotics foundation models, synthetic-data pipelines, simulation-based training, and on-robot inference.
• Architect multi-robot orchestration and fleet-management platforms, including task allocation, traffic management, and execution monitoring.
• Define orchestration services for task allocation, resource scheduling, traffic management, and fleet optimization.
• Design integration patterns across robot OEM systems, ROS/ROS 2, PLC/SCADA, MES, WMS, ERP, IoT platforms.
• Define robotics runtime and platform architecture across cloud, edge and GPU infrastructure.
• Establish robotics observability, telemetry, diagnostics, remote operations, and lifecycle-management patterns.
• Lead architecture reviews and governance throughout pursuits and delivery.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to robotics and AI teams.
