Senior Robotics System Engineer (AMR)

As the founding technical pillar of this 0-to-1 project, you will take complete ownership of the AMR mobile base system—from concept and prototype to large-scale commercial deployment. You will serve as the core technical hub connecting high-level navigation software, low-level hardware chassis, electrical design, sensor integration, and cross-team coordination with our existing drone division. As the product matures and scales, you will naturally transition into building and leading the future robotics team.

Responsibilities:

Full-Lifecycle Ownership:

Take complete charge of the AMR mobile base system, driving it from Proof of Concept (POC) and prototype development to large-scale deployment in complex indoor retail warehouse environments.

Air-Ground Coordination & Payload Control:

Develop and optimize control software to coordinate communication and dispatch between the AMR base and the onboard drone (payload), ensuring accurate command execution and seamless collaboration.

Navigation & Sensor Integration:

Define requirements for differential or omnidirectional drive systems. Lead the integration and tuning of navigation sensors (LiDAR, depth cameras, IMU) with the ROS2 Navigation Stack (Nav2).

Hardware & Electrical Design:

Lead the overall hardware integration of the mobile base. Design comprehensive power distribution systems, electrical wiring diagrams, and appropriate safety mechanisms.

Production & Vendor Management:

Oversee the transition from prototype to commercial mass production. Manage the supply chain for off-the-shelf/open-source chassis and components, qualify vendors, and generate manufacturing and integration documentation.

Rigorous Testing & Optimization:

Conduct extensive customized development and rigorous stress testing in simulated and real-world warehouse environments to ensure extremely high up time and reliability in demanding commercial applications.

Requirements:

Education:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

Core Experience:

Minimum of

5 years

of experience in robotics system development, with at least

3 years

specifically focused on AMR or AGV development. Proven track record of successfully deploying multiple robotic systems in commercial or industrial settings.

Algorithms & Software:

Expert proficiency in modern

C++ , Python, and real-time control systems development. Deep, hands‑on expertise with the

ROS/ROS2

framework. Extensive practical experience with SLAM, path planning, and localization algorithms for autonomous navigation.

Hardware & System Integration:

Proven success in mechanical integration, actuators, sensors, and power systems for robotic platforms. Strong hands‑on capabilities in robot installation, commissioning, and on‑site hardware/software troubleshooting.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Demonstrated track record of successful integration across multiple technology vendors and cross‑departmental teams (crucial for aligning with our drone engineering team).

Bonus Skills:

Experience with OpenCV and industrial vision systems. Strong start‑up mindset with a clear desire to grow into a leadership/management role in the future.
