Job description

Overview

Founding / Lead Robotics Engineer to take ownership of the software architecture behind a multi-agent coordination engine for autonomous robotic systems. You’ll be designing the core orchestrator—essentially the system’s brain—that connects symbolic planning, behaviour logic, and real-world execution. This is a senior role with real technical impact, reporting directly into leadership.

Why this role matters

  • You’ll architect the control layer behind a high-performance, field-ready robotics platform
  • Define system-wide APIs, state machines, and communication protocols across planning and perception
  • Join a team solving real-world problems in multi-agent autonomy with a mission-first mindset

What you’ll be doing

  • Own the full software architecture for multi-robot decision-making and coordination
  • Build the system that connects symbolic planning to low-level task execution
  • Lead integration across modules—perception, planning, and control
  • Design robust state machines and communication flows using ROS 2 and DDS
  • Define gRPC and ROS 2 interfaces between all core subsystems
  • Drive simulation-based testing (HITL / SITL) and ensure code is deployment-ready
  • Seniority level

  • Mid-Senior level
  • Employment type

  • Full-time
  • Job function

  • Engineering, Research, and Information Technology
  • Industries : Robotics Engineering, Engineering Services, and Software Development
