Forward Deployed Engineer; ROS

Remote – United States (Candidates must currently be based in the USA)

Full-Time

H1B Sponsorship Available

Fireloop is building the critical infrastructure that bridges advanced robotics research with real-world production environments.

We are hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) who will work at the intersection of robotics software, deployment, and client integration. This role focuses on executing and integrating robotics systems in real-world environments rather than pure research and algorithm development.

The ideal candidate understands how robotics systems work, can debug them when they fail, and ensures reliable production performance.

• Define, simulate, and train pre-go-live scenarios using Isaac SIM and Isaac Lab
• Deploy robotics software stacks in client environments (cloud and edge)
• Write, debug, and configure ROS/ROS2 nodes
• Manage message passing, coordinate transforms (TF2), and launch configurations
• Troubleshoot real-world system issues using logs and network analysis
• Work closely with senior engineers to learn best practices in robotics infrastructure
• Provide field feedback to improve product reliability

• BS/MS in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or related field
• Strong conceptual understanding of ROS / ROS2 (Nodes, Topics, Services, Actions)
• Proficiency in Python (required)
• Ability to read and debug C++
• Strong Computer Science fundamentals (Data Structures & Algorithms)
• Solid understanding of Linear Algebra and robotics math
• Comfortable working in Linux (Ubuntu, SSH, shell scripting)
• Familiarity with Git and basic Docker usage

• Experience with robotics simulators (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, Mu Jo Co )
• Exposure to AWS, Azure, or GCP
• Experience working with sensor data (Lidar, Cameras, IMUs)

• Exposure to real-world robotics deployment challenges
• High-impact role with strong learning opportunities
• Fully remote role within the United States
• H1B sponsorship available for high-potential candidates
