Flexible Work Model
Work from home, from the office, or in a hybrid format that supports focus and collaboration.
ABOUT THE ROLE
In this role, you will define and drive the technical direction of advanced robotics solutions across mobile robots, robotic arms, drones, and multi-robot systems. You will take ownership of the full lifecycle—from research and rapid prototyping to production-grade deployment—while shaping engineering standards and scaling high-performing technical teams. You will act as a key technical authority, collaborating across disciplines, mentoring engineers, and representing the organization in both client-facing and executive-level engagements.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Define and govern system architecture across mobile robots, robotic arms, drones, and multi-robot deployments
- Establish and maintain engineering standards, including branching strategies, code reviews, testing frameworks, and documentation practices
- Drive projects from rapid prototyping to production-ready, high-reliability systems
- Coordinate cross-functional delivery across hardware, software, and cloud integration streams
- Mentor senior and mid-level engineers and foster a culture of technical excellence
- Conduct technical interviews and shape hiring profiles and evaluation frameworks
- Own robot–cloud integration strategy, including telemetry, OTA updates, and fleet management
- Lead applied research initiatives and translate outcomes into the product roadmap
- Identify and evaluate emerging technologies, platforms, and frameworks to maintain a competitive edge
- Represent engineering leadership in client engagements and executive-level discussions
- Support pre-sales activities through technical presentations, workshops, and proof-of-concept delivery
REQUIREMENTS
- Advanced knowledge of ROS2 architecture with demonstrated ability to design, deploy, and govern complex multi-node robotic systems in production environments
- Proven experience integrating and operating diverse robotic platforms, including mobile robots, robotic arms, drones, and multi-robot collaborative systems
- Deep expertise in one of the directions: SLAM, localization, mapping, path planning, sensor fusion, or robotic arm motion planning using MoveIt
- Hands-on experience with robotics simulation tools (Isaac Sim, Gazebo) for system validation, testing, and pre-deployment verification
- Strong understanding of real-time systems, motor control, including familiarity with ARM-based hardware (e.g., STM32), RTOS, and PLC/SCADA integration
- Strong programming skills in C++ and Python with a production-level focus on performance, reliability, and scalability in robotics contexts
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) tailored to robotics software deployment and lifecycle management
- Ability to define and enforce robotics-specific engineering standards covering testing, QA processes, code reviews, and operational best practices
