Mid-Level Robotics Engineer, Autonomous Systems

About the Role

Join an engineering and R&D team as a Robotics Engineer focused on autonomous systems. You will build and integrate drone-based robotic systems from prototype through field validation, supporting safe and reliable delivery operations.

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 robotics software with ROS or ROS 2 and C++ or Python, and validate solutions in simulation.

• Integrate flight controllers, companion computers, communication links, and telemetry with drone systems.

• Build, troubleshoot, and field-test prototypes, analyzing flight logs and sensor data.

• 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 kinematics, dynamics, control theory, PID, and system integration.

• Proficiency in C++ or Python, ROS or ROS 2, and Linux; familiarity with MATLAB.

• Practical experience with PX4 or ArduPilot, MAVLink, motors, ESCs, batteries, and flight controllers.

• Knowledge of IMU, GPS or RTK, LiDAR, sensor fusion, and GPS-denied navigation.

• Experience with embedded systems, microcontrollers, Raspberry Pi or Jetson, actuators, and hardware debugging.

• Familiarity with CAN, UART, I2C, drone telemetry, simulation, field testing, and flight-log analysis.

• Background in robotics, mechatronics, electrical engineering, aerospace, computer science, or a related field. Computer vision, machine learning, SLAM, Gazebo, Webots, CAD, or BVLOS experience is a plus.
