About this role
About the Role
Join an engineering and R&D team as a Robotics Engineer focused on autonomous systems. You will design, build, integrate, and test drone-based robotic systems from prototype through field validation, supporting safe and reliable delivery operations.
What You'll Do
-
Design and integrate robotic mechanisms, sensors, actuators, controllers, and drone payload systems.
-
Develop control, navigation, path-planning, and obstacle-avoidance solutions.
-
Build robotics software with ROS or ROS 2 and C++ or Python, and validate systems in simulation.
-
Integrate flight controllers, companion computers, communication links, and telemetry with drone systems.
-
Build, troubleshoot, and independently validate robotic systems in the field.
-
Collaborate with mechanical, electronics, and software teams on prototypes and deployments.
What We're Looking For
-
At least 2 years of hands-on experience building or delivering robotics, UAV, or autonomous systems.
-
Strong fundamentals in kinematics, dynamics, control theory, PID, and system integration.
-
Proficiency in C++ or Python, ROS or ROS 2, and Linux; MATLAB familiarity is useful.
-
Experience with PX4 or ArduPilot, MAVLink, flight controllers, motors, ESCs, and batteries.
-
Knowledge of IMU, GPS/RTK, LiDAR, sensor fusion, and GPS-denied navigation.
-
Embedded systems experience with microcontrollers, Raspberry Pi or Jetson, actuators, and hardware debugging.
-
Familiarity with CAN, UART, I2C, drone telemetry, simulation, flight-log analysis, and field testing.
-
A degree in robotics, mechatronics, electrical engineering, aerospace, computer science, or a related field.
-
Computer vision, machine learning, SLAM, Gazebo or Webots, CAD, or BVLOS experience is a plus.
