• Integrating and optimizing motion planning, localization, and perception algorithms.

• Conducting simulation and real-world testing to validate performance.

• Working with sensors, actuators, and embedded systems to enhance robotic capabilities.

• Collaborating with cross-functional teams including mechanical and electrical engineers for system integration

• Staying current with emerging technologies and best practices in Robotics and AI.

Requirements

This role might be a great fit if you have:

• Proficient English (B2 or C1 level)

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

• 3+ years of experience in robotics software development, particularly ROS2 for motion planning, localization, or perception.

• Proficiency in C++ and Python.

• Systems-level understanding of the various software modules and their interfaces in a robotic application (ROS/ROS2, simulators, etc.).

• Hands-on experience with robotic manipulation.

• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

• Effective communication and documentation skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to diverse stakeholders

Bonus Points For:

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

• Valid US Visa.

• Proficiency with various robot learning techniques (Reinforcement Learning, imitation learning, etc.).

• Experience with robot simulation using tools like isaac sim or gazebo.

• Experience working with modern computer vision algorithms (segmentation, tracking, object detection.), sensors (LiDAR, camera, radar, etc.), 3D (meshes, point clouds, etc.).

What We Offer

We’re not just offering a job — we’re offering a place to grow and thrive. At Kiwibot, you’ll benefit from:

• The opportunity to shape the future of robotics in a fast-growing startup with hundreds of autonomous robots deployed all over the world.
