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.
