About the role
About the Role
Join an engineering and R&D team building drone-based robotic systems for autonomous delivery. You will take systems from prototype through integration and field validation, helping support safe and reliable 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 and test robotics software with ROS or ROS 2, C++ or Python, and simulation tools.
Integrate flight controllers, companion computers, communication links, and telemetry with drone systems.
Troubleshoot, validate, and field-test robotic systems, including reviewing flight logs.
Collaborate with mechanical, electronics, and software teams on prototypes and deployment.
What We're Looking For
At least 2 years of hands-on experience building or delivering robotics, UAV, or autonomous systems.
Proficiency in C++ or Python, ROS or ROS 2, and Linux.
Experience with PX4 or ArduPilot, MAVLink, flight controllers, motors, ESCs, and batteries.
Experience integrating sensors such as IMUs, GPS/RTK, and LiDAR, with knowledge of sensor fusion and GPS-denied navigation.
Background in embedded systems, including microcontrollers, Raspberry Pi or Jetson, actuators, and hardware debugging.
Knowledge of robotics fundamentals such as kinematics, dynamics, control theory, and PID, plus communication protocols such as CAN, UART, or I2C.
A degree in robotics, mechatronics, electrical engineering, aerospace, computer science, or a related field.
Experience with computer vision, machine learning, SLAM, MATLAB, CAD, simulation, or BVLOS operations is beneficial.
