You bring 8+ years in robotics engineering, strong ROS/ROS 2, Python and C++, and hands-on experience with industrial automation, cloud/edge deployments and production-readiness.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional experience in robotics engineering, robotics software, autonomous systems, industrial automation or related fields.
• Demonstrated experience architecting and deploying industrial or commercial 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 such as PLC/SCADA, OPC UA, MQTT, EtherNet/IP, MES, WMS or ERP.
• Understanding of cloud, edge and GPU-enabled deployment patterns, containers, APIs, event-driven integration, observability and production operations.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience.

Responsibilities

• Define end-to-end technical architecture for robotics intelligence platforms, autonomous systems, robotic fleets and services.
• Architect Robotic intelligence platforms spanning perception, localization, SLAM, sensor fusion, motion planning, autonomous decision logic and runtime execution.
• Define architecture patterns for robotics foundation models, synthetic-data pipelines, simulation-based training, model evaluation and on-robot inference.
• Architect multi-robot orchestration and fleet-management platforms, including task allocation, traffic management, execution monitoring and cross-system coordination.
• Define orchestration services for task allocation, resource scheduling, traffic management, state and event management, exception handling and fleet optimization.
• Design integration patterns across robot OEM systems, fleet managers, ROS/ROS 2, PLC/SCADA, MES, WMS, ERP, IoT platforms and site workflows.
• Define robotics runtime and platform architecture across cloud, edge and GPU infrastructure, including connectivity, deployment topology, performance, scalability and security.
• Establish robotics observability, telemetry, diagnostics, remote operations, configuration management, software distribution, upgrade and lifecycle-management patterns.
