Job description:

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Robotics System Engineer to lead the development and integration of Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) systems for our innovative cleaning solution. This role focuses on the mobile base platform that will operate in challenging airport environments, requiring expertise in both hardware integration and software systems for navigation, control, and multi-vendor coordination.

Primary Responsibilities

As the Senior Robotics System Engineer for the AMR platform, you will take complete ownership of the mobile base system from concept through deployment. You will serve as the primary technical interface with navigation software, driver support, hardware base platforms electrical designs and sensor integrations. You will also be responsible for managing the transition from prototype to mass production and overseeing large-scale deployments across airport facilities.

Define requirements for differential drive or omni-directional drive systems that operate with customized requirements
Specify and integrate navigation sensors including LiDAR, cameras, and IMU systems with navigation stack
Design comprehensive power distribution systems, electrical drawings for the mobile base, cleaning tools with appropriate safety systems
Oversee the transition from prototype development to small volume production, working closely with contract manufacturers to establish production lines
Customize navigation software to support cleaning tasks adaptation and ease of use for ground operators
Develop control software to coordinate cleaning payloads
Conduct extensive testing in simulated and real environments to ensure 99% uptime in demanding cleaning applications
Transition systems from prototype to production-ready designs with appropriate manufacturing documentation
Provide technical support during manufacturing ramp-up and quality validation processes

Required Qualifications

Bachelor or Master's degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or related field
Minimum of five years of experience in robotics system development, including at least three years specifically in AMR or AGV development
Demonstrated experience with deploying multiple robotic systems in commercial or industrial settings
Experience in SLAM, path planning, and localization algorithms for autonomous navigation
Proven experience in actuators, sensors, power systems, and mechanical integration for robotic platforms
Proficiency in ROS/ROS2, C++, Python, and real-time control systems development
Hands-on experience with robot installation, commissioning, and on-site troubleshooting
Experience with OpenCV and industrial vision systems for robotic applications
Knowledge of Design for Manufacturing (DfM) and Design for Assembly (DfA) principles
Understanding of manufacturing processes, quality control, and production line optimization
Experience with service robots in commercial or industrial environments with proven reliability requirements
Track record of successful integration across multiple technology vendors and suppliers
Knowledge of ISO 13482 Service Robot Safety standards and relevant safety regulations
Knowledge of supply chain management, component sourcing, and vendor qualification processes
