Job description:

Project Title: AMR Software Development and Validation

Objective: Ensure the reliability, safety, and performance of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) through hands-on physical testing and field validation of robotics software and hardware.

Scope of Work:

1. Development:
2. Develop tools and processes for robot system bring-up, testing, deployment, and monitoring.

Integration:

• Integrate and validate robot software modules (perception, planning, control) with robotic hardware components into a cohesive robotic system.
• Collaborate closely with hardware, perception, and controls teams to ensure system-wide reliability, robustness, and safety.
• Debug integration issues involving sensors, compute hardware, real-time systems, and robotics middleware.

Testing and Validation:

• Design and execute test plans in real-world and simulated environments.
• Evaluate system behavior under diverse conditions.
• Ensure the robot performs reliably in practice, not just in theory.
• Conduct structured field trials and analyze performance data.
• Diagnose issues that arise in physical deployments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform in-depth system-level testing, identify performance bottlenecks, and develop solutions for real-time robotics operation.
• Set up and run on-robot tests.
• Analyze performance data and diagnose issues.
• Develop tools and processes for testing and deployment.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure system reliability and safety.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Strong experience in system-level robotics integration, particularly with AMRs or similar real-world robot deployments.
• Proficiency in ROS/ROS 2, Linux, C++, and Python.
• Hands-on experience with sensor integration (e.g., LiDAR, cameras, IMUs), and embedded computing platforms.
• Strong system debugging skills: experience with networking, profiling, performance tracing, and log-based issue analysis.
• Familiarity with real-time operating constraints, safety, and reliability considerations in robotics.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with simulation tools and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.
• Background in deploying robotic systems in production or operational environments.
• Exposure to SLAM, localization, or multi-robot coordination.
• AV/ADAS integration or industrial automation experience.
