Job Summary
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 Responsibilities System 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.
- Develop, tune, and deploy advanced motion planning and manipulation algorithms using Move It 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.
- Design and integrate 3D perception pipelines (point clouds, depth maps, 3D sensors such as Photoneo Pho Xi, Real Sense, 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).
- Write clean, efficient, production-quality C++ and Python code within the ROS 2 ecosystem (ament, colcon, , Move It 2 plugins).
- Establish and maintain CI/CD pipelines, code reviews, unit/integration tests, and documentation for the dual‑arm system.
- 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 Move It 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., Real Sense, ZED).
