Co-founder Robotics Engineer

About Us We’re building next-generation autonomous robotic systems engineered to operate intelligently across complex real-world environments. Our mission is to create adaptive, interoperable robotics ecosystems that unify sensing, motion, and control through precision software engineering. If you challenge conventions and see every limitation as a design problem waiting to be solved, this role is for you. Your Role As the Co-founder – ROS2 Robotic Engineering, you’ll lead the architecture, sensor integration, simulation, and deployment of robotic systems built on ROS2, ensuring seamless ROS1–ROS2 interoperability for hybrid platforms. You’ll architect, test, and optimize systems running on embedded edge computing hardware (comparable to NVIDIA Orin-class platforms), driving high-performance robotics from simulation to real-world execution. You’ll define not just how the robots move — but how they think and interact with their environment. Key Responsibilities Lead the design and development of robotic software using ROS2 (Foxy/Humble/Jazzy) with DDS middleware (FastRTPS, CycloneDDS). Architect ROS1–ROS2 bridge layers and migration pipelines. Build and refine sensor pipelines for LiDAR, IMU, stereo/depth cameras, GPS, radar, and ultrasonic systems. Lead sensor calibration, tuning, and synchronization for consistent and reliable data fusion. Deploy, monitor, and optimize ROS2 stacks on GPU-accelerated embedded edge hardware. Develop and maintain simulation workflows using Gazebo, Ignition, Isaac Sim, or Webots. Implement Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) validation frameworks. Collaborate with embedded firmware and system integration teams for SLAM, navigation, motion control and perception interfacing. Define and own the technical roadmap, architecture reviews, and pilot deployments. What We’re Looking For 8–10 years of robotics software engineering experience with a focus on ROS2 systems. Proven expertise in ROS1–ROS2 interoperability and node migration. Proficient in C++ / Python, URDF/Xacro modeling, TF trees, and parameter management. Experience working on GPU-enabled embedded edge devices (e.g., Jetson-class or Orin-level systems). Hands-on knowledge of sensor fusion frameworks (Kalman / Extended Kalman Filters). Strong background in digital-twin simulation and real-world validation. Understanding of real-time communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, RS485). Familiarity with Docker, colcon build system, and CI/CD-based robotic software delivery. A creative and adaptive problem-solver who builds beyond conventional limits. Who You Are A system thinker who thrives at the intersection of software, sensors, and embedded systems. You’re hands-on, pragmatic, and inventive — with an instinct for clean architectures. You value precision, experimentation, and continuous iteration. Why Join Us Join as a core founding member defining the robotics intelligence stack. Build scalable systems that evolve from simulation labs to real-world deployment. Freedom to innovate + leadership ownership + long-term career growth.
