• Develop robotics software using Python, C++ and ROS2.
• Build and test robotic systems in simulation environments.
• Integrate sensors, actuators, robotic arms and autonomous mobile systems.
• Develop perception, navigation, motion planning and control capabilities.
• Transfer robotics applications from simulation to physical hardware.
• Test, troubleshoot and optimise robotic performance, safety and reliability.

What We're Looking For

• Proficiency in Python and/or C++ for robotics applications.
• Experience with robot kinematics, motion control and perception.
• Practical experience with robotics simulation and physical hardware integration.
• Background in robotics software engineering, autonomous systems or industrial automation.

Highly Desirable

Experience with NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, Omniverse, Gazebo, MoveIt, Nav2, Jetson, reinforcement learning or autonomous vehicles.

If you've developed robotics software, worked with real robotic hardware and enjoy turning simulation into real-world performance, we'd love to hear from you.
