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
