Robotics Engineer Job#: 3051795

Job Description:

Robotics Engineer

Location:

Bentonville, AR 72712
* All interested and qualified candidates can please contact Schuyler Moose at [email protected]

About the Role:

We are seeking an experienced, highly technical Robotics Engineer capable of developing and integrating complete robotic systems. This is an end-to-end robotics role with a strong emphasis on ROS 2. The ideal candidate can work across the robotics stack—from sensors and perception through localization, motion planning, control, and hardware integration—and is comfortable taking a system from initial architecture through deployment on physical robots.

Responsibilities: ROS 2 & Robotics Software
· Design and develop robotic systems using ROS 2
· Build ROS 2 nodes, packages, interfaces, launch systems, and configurations
· Develop production-quality robotics software in C++ and Python
· Architect and integrate distributed robotic systems
· Debug system-level issues involving timing, communication, performance, and hardware

Perception & Localization
· Develop and integrate perception systems using cameras, LiDAR, RGB-D, IMUs, and other sensors
· Implement perception, sensor fusion, localization, mapping, and state estimation
· Integrate perception and localization into planning and control systems

Motion Planning & Control
· Develop and integrate navigation, motion planning, trajectory generation, and obstacle avoidance
· Work with robot kinematics, controllers, actuators, and hardware interfaces
· Tune and validate robot motion and control on physical platforms

System Integration & Deployment
· Own and integrate the perception localization planning control actuation pipeline
· Bring up, test, debug, and deploy robotic systems in lab and production environments
· Develop simulation, testing, diagnostics, and deployment tools
· Transition robotics capabilities from prototype to reliable production systems Collaboration
· Work closely with mechanical, electrical, controls, software, and operations teams
· Partner with robotics vendors and technology providers
· Drive technical decisions and help define robotic system architecture

Requirements:
· Deep hands-on experience with ROS 2
· Proven experience developing and deploying physical robotic systems
· Experience across multiple areas of the robotics stack: perception, localization, planning, and/or control
· Strong C++ and Python programming skills
· Experience integrating sensors, actuators, and robotic hardware
· Ability to independently debug complex robotics systems
· Strong understanding of real-time and distributed robotic software
· Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
· 5+ years of professional robotics experience
· Strong proficiency in ROS 2 and C++
· Strong Python skills
· Experience with Linux-based robotic systems
· Experience deploying and debugging robotics software on physical robots

Preferred Qualifications (not required):
· Experience with autonomous mobile robots, manipulators, or industrial robotics
· Experience with LiDAR, cameras, RGB-D, IMUs, and sensor fusion
· Experience with SLAM, navigation, motion planning, or robot control
· Experience with simulation, automated testing, Docker, and CI/CD
· Experience deploying robotics systems in warehouse, supply chain, manufacturing, or industrial environments
· Experience taking robotic systems from R&D through production

What Success Looks Like:

The successful candidate is an end-to-end robotics engineer who can understand and contribute across the complete robotic system: sensing perception localization planning control actuation.

You should be comfortable writing ROS 2 software, integrating hardware, developing robotics…
