Robotics Software Engineer

Build the next generation of autonomous construction robotics

At MESH, we develop autonomous robotic systems that automate end-to-end rebar construction. Bridging digital design and physical automation, our multidisciplinary team transforms advanced robotics research into robust, production-ready industrial systems deployed globally.

Role description

We are looking for a Robotics Software Engineer to develop and productize software across the full robotics stack from perception and motion planning to control and system integration. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys working across subsystem boundaries. You will take ownership of the engineering work required to turn promising research and algorithms into robust and mature capabilities that can be deployed and maintained in real-world robotic systems.

What You Will Work On

You will contribute across the full robotics software stack, including:

• Perception: 2D/3D sensing, point-cloud processing, object and feature detection, pose estimation, calibration.
• Motion Planning: collision checking, trajectory generation and optimization, kinematics, robot/world modeling, and integration of planning algorithms.
• Robot Control: integration with industrial robot controllers, HAL layers, trajectory execution, real-time or near-real-time control interfaces, state monitoring, and coordination of multi-robotic systems.
• System Integration: connecting robotics SW, application logic, hardware, and external systems into reliable end-to-end robotic applications.
• Robotics Infrastructure: reusable software components, interfaces, configuration, logging, diagnostics, testing, simulation, and deployment infrastructure.

Your Responsibilities

• Design, implement, test, and maintain robotics software primarily in C++ and Python.
• Develop and integrate components across the full robotics SW stack.
• Take algorithms and prototypes and mature them into reliable software components.
• Build automated tests, simulation-based tests, hardware-in-the-loop tests, and system-level validation where appropriate.
• Work with industrial robots, sensors, cameras, external axes, and other automation hardware.
• Develop clean interfaces between robotics algorithms, hardware drivers, application software, and higher-level systems.
• Diagnose complex problems that span software, algorithms, networking, robot controllers, sensors, and hardware.
• Improve observability through structured logging, diagnostics, error reporting, and system health monitoring.
• Support deployment, commissioning, troubleshooting, and validation of robotic systems.

What We Are Looking For

Required

• Masters degree or higher in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• Strong software engineering skills in C++, with working knowledge of Python.
• Experience developing software for robotic or other complex hardware systems.
• Good understanding of several areas of robotics, such as, motion and trajectory planning, robot control, vision, sensor and robot calibration.
• Experience with robotics middleware such as ROS/ROS2 or similar
• Comfortable working with Linux and modern software development workflows using Git, code reviews, build systems, debugging tools, and automated testing.
• Ability to debug problems across multiple layers of a robotic system rather than treating individual components in isolation.
• Strong understanding of software architecture, modularity, interfaces, and maintainability.

Experience in one or more of the following would be an advantage:

• 3D perception using point clouds, depth cameras, stereo systems.
• Libraries such as Eigen, PCL, OpenCV, or similar.
• Collision detection, robot/world modeling, trajectory optimization, or numerical optimization.
• Real-time or high-performance robot communication and control.
• Profiling, performance optimization, concurrency, and multithreaded C++.
• Deploying and supporting robotic systems outside a controlled R&D environment.
• CI/CD and automated testing for robotics software.
• Experience working with industrial robotic arms such as ABB

We do not expect you to be an expert in every part of the robotics stack. We are looking for strong…
