Senior Robotics System Engineer (AMR)

As the product matures and scales, you will naturally transition into building and leading the future robotics team.

Responsibilities:

• Full-Lifecycle Ownership: Take complete charge of the AMR mobile base system, driving it from Proof of Concept (POC) and prototype development to large-scale deployment in complex indoor retail warehouse environments.
• Air-Ground Coordination & Payload Control: Develop and optimize control software to coordinate communication and dispatch between the AMR base and the onboard drone (payload), ensuring accurate command execution and seamless collaboration.
• Navigation & Sensor Integration: Define requirements for differential or omnidirectional drive systems. Lead the integration and tuning of navigation sensors (LiDAR, depth cameras, IMU) with the ROS2 Navigation Stack (Nav2).
• Hardware & Electrical Design: Lead the overall hardware integration of the mobile base. Design comprehensive power distribution systems, electrical wiring diagrams, and appropriate safety mechanisms.
• Production & Vendor Management: Oversee the transition from prototype to commercial mass production. Manage the supply chain for off-the-shelf/open-source chassis and components, qualify vendors, and generate manufacturing and integration documentation.
• Rigorous Testing & Optimization: Conduct extensive customized development and rigorous stress testing in simulated and real-world warehouse environments to ensure extremely high up time and reliability in demanding commercial applications.

Requirements:

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Core Experience: Minimum of 5 years of experience in robotics system development, with at least 3 years specifically focused on AMR or AGV development. Proven track record of successfully deploying multiple robotic systems in commercial or industrial settings.
• Algorithms & Software: Expert proficiency in modern C++, Python, and real-time control systems development. Deep, hands-on expertise with the ROS/ROS2 framework. Extensive practical experience with SLAM, path planning, and localization algorithms for autonomous navigation.
• Hardware & System Integration: Proven success in mechanical integration, actuators, sensors, and power systems for robotic platforms. Strong hands-on capabilities in robot installation, commissioning, and on-site hardware/software troubleshooting.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Demonstrated track record of successful integration across multiple technology vendors and cross-departmental teams (crucial for aligning with our drone engineering team).
• Bonus Skills: Experience with OpenCV and industrial vision systems. Strong start-up mindset with a clear desire to grow into a leadership/management role in the future.
