We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Robotics Software Engineer to lead the development of a next-generation dual-arm, ROS 2-based manipulation system capable of operating with multiple grippers in a flexible automation environment.
In this role, you will be responsible for architecting and implementing a robust, scalable ROS 2 software stack that coordinates two robotic arms and enables advanced motion planning and 3D perception for complex manipulation tasks. You will own the end-to-end software lifecycle: from high-level architecture and simulation, down to real-time integration with industrial robot controllers, and 3D vision sensors.
Key ResponsibilitiesSystem Architecture (ROS 2 Dual-Arm)- Lead the design and implementation of a ROS 2-based dual-arm control architecture (nodes, topics, services, actions, lifecycle) that supports coordinated and independent arm motions.
- Define interfaces and APIs for motion planning, perception, and gripper/tool management.
Motion Planning & Coordination- Develop, tune, and deploy advanced motion planning and manipulation algorithms using MoveIt 2 for dual-arm coordination (bimanual tasks, handovers, collision-aware trajectories).
- Configure and maintain the kinematic models, planning scenes, and controllers for multiple robot arms and end-effectors.
- Ensure safe, efficient trajectory generation in cluttered and dynamic environments.
Perception Pipeline Integration- Design and integrate 3D perception pipelines (point clouds, depth maps, 3D sensors such as Photoneo PhoXi, RealSense, ZED) for robust object detection, pose estimation, and scene understanding.
- Fuse perception outputs with the planning scene to enable dual-arm, multi-gripper manipulation strategies (e.g., grasp selection, re-grasping, handover).
Software Development & DevOps- Write clean, efficient, production-quality C++ and Python code within the ROS 2 ecosystem (ament, colcon, ros2_control, MoveIt 2 plugins).
- Establish and maintain CI/CD pipelines, code reviews, unit/integration tests, and documentation for the dual-arm system.
Required Qualification:Master's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
ROS 2 Expertise: Proven, hands-on experience developing complex robotics applications using ROS 2 and its core concepts (Nodes, Topics, Services, Actions, lifecycle management).
Motion Planning: Deep understanding of kinematics, dynamics, and motion planning frameworks, with extensive hands-on experience using MoveIt 2.
Perception: Solid background in 3D computer vision and point cloud processing (PCL, OpenCV) for robotic manipulation tasks.
Programming Skills: Strong proficiency in modern C++ and Python.
System Integration: Experience interfacing with industrial robots and 3D vision hardware (e.g., RealSense, ZED).
