Responsibilities
Develop and maintain robotics software in C++ and Python using ROS/ROS2
Integrate and operate point cloud–producing sensors (lidar, radar, sonar) on physical systems
Implement and debug robotics communication interfaces (CAN, serial, Ethernet, etc.)
Build and maintain control logic including state machines, PID loops, and feedback control
Work hands-on with motors, actuators, and low-level hardware interfaces
Support system integration, bench testing, and field testing on real vehicles
Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, and test engineers to close integration gaps
Qualification
Required
Degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or related field
1–2 years of industry or research experience post-graduation (or equivalent hands-on work)
