About the Role

We are looking for a Robotics Developer with hands-on experience in ROS-based software development, system integration, and robot-facing user interfaces.

The candidate will work on migrating and maintaining ROS applications, developing tools and dashboards for robot operation, and supporting general robotics software development and deployment.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain ROS 1 and ROS 2 packages using C++ and Python.
• Support migration between ROS versions, Ubuntu versions, and embedded computing platforms.
• Update launch files, dependencies, build systems, and third-party ROS packages.
• Build web-based or desktop user interfaces for robot monitoring, configuration, diagnostics, and control.
• Integrate sensors, actuators, navigation modules, and hardware drivers.
• Debug ROS topics, services, actions, TF, parameters, and communication issues.
• Deploy and maintain ROS applications using Linux, Docker, and systemd.
• Develop basic robot behaviours, diagnostics, watchdogs, and developer tools.
• Test software on physical robots and support field troubleshooting.
• Maintain technical documentation and follow standard Git-based development workflows.

Required Skills

• Strong programming skills in C++ and Python.
• Practical experience with ROS 1, ROS 2, or both.
• Good understanding of ROS topics, services, actions, TF, launch files, and package development.
• Experience with Linux, Git, CMake, and debugging.
• Experience integrating software with sensors or robot hardware.
• Ability to understand and modify existing robotics codebases.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with ROS migration or ROS 1 to ROS 2 migration.
• Experience with Catkin, Colcon, and Ament.
• Familiarity with Docker and NVIDIA Jetson platforms.
• Experience developing ROS-based web dashboards using React, JavaScript, WebSockets, rosbridge, or REST APIs.
• Familiarity with RViz, RQT, URDF, rosbag, navigation, localization, and sensor drivers.
• Exposure to CI/CD, system monitoring, and remote robot deployment.

What We Value

• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
• A practical approach to working with physical robots.
• Ability to work across software, operating systems, networking, and hardware integration.
• Ownership, clear communication, and good technical documentation.
