Robotics Engineer, Autonomous Systems

ABOUT THE ROLE Join an engineering and R&D team as a Robotics Engineer focused on autonomous systems. You will design, integrate, and validate drone-based robotic systems, helping enable safe and reliable delivery operations from early prototypes through field testing. WHAT YOU'LL DO • Design and integrate robotic mechanisms, sensors, actuators, controllers, and drone payload systems. • Develop control, navigation, path-planning, and obstacle-avoidance solutions. • Program and test robotics software with ROS or ROS 2 and C++ or Python, including simulation-based validation. • Integrate flight controllers, companion computers, communications links, and telemetry with drone systems. • Build, troubleshoot, and independently validate robotic systems in the field. • Collaborate with mechanical, electronics, and software teams on prototype development and deployment. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR • At least 2 years of hands-on experience in robotics, UAV systems, or autonomous systems. • Strong foundations in robotics, including kinematics, dynamics, control theory, PID, and system integration. • Proficiency in C++ or Python, ROS or ROS 2, and Linux; familiarity with MATLAB. • Knowledge of PX4 or ArduPilot, MAVLink, motors, ESCs, batteries, and flight controllers. • Experience with IMU, GPS or RTK, LiDAR, sensor fusion, or GPS-denied navigation. • Embedded systems experience with microcontrollers, Raspberry Pi or Jetson, actuators, and debugging. • Practical experience in prototyping, simulation, flight-log analysis, and field validation; familiarity with CAN, UART, or I2C. • A relevant degree or equivalent foundation, plus evidence of hands-on projects or other practical building experience. Computer vision, machine learning, SLAM, Gazebo or Webots, CAD, BVLOS, and UTM experience are helpful. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Visa sponsorship is not available.
