Key Responsibility #1:
Own the architecture and technical direction of core MAG AMR software systems - navigation, SLAM, or state machine - from design through production deployment.
Key Responsibility #2:
Provide technical leadership across teams - mentoring engineers, driving design reviews, and being the escalation point for the hardest runtime and field issues.
- Set Technical direction and architecture for the MAG AMR software stack - navigation, SLAM, and state machine design.
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of robotics software engineers, including hiring and performance conversations
- Break down roadmap priorities into workable technical plans and assign ownership across the team
- Stay hands-on with the hardest problems - algorithm design, tricky bugs, and system-level tradeoffs
- Coordinate with cross-country teams - hardware, product, and other regional engineering pods - to keep releases moving
- Keep security and code quality standards enforced through regular reviews and vulnerability assessments
- Optimize navigation algorithms - improved planning, path tracking, and motion control
- Run a high bar on code review and engineering practice across the team, not just your own commits
- Represent the software team in planning and roadmap discussions with leadership
- Write and maintain clear, thorough documentation of the codebase and development activities
- Support on-site robot deployments and field testing when required
- Partner with the product team to keep user documentation accurate and current
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent
- 5+ years building production robotics software, with strong C++ and Python
- Deep, hands-on experience with ROS / ROS2, and real ownership of navigation or SLAM systems in the past
- Comfortable on Ubuntu / Linux development environments
- Experience leading or informally mentoring other engineers - technical leads count, not just people managers
- Sharp problem-solving instincts: you identify root causes, not just symptoms
- Self-starter who runs independently and learns fast on the job
- Bonus: end-to-end system knowledge spanning mechanical, electrical, and software
Benefits:
- Competitive salary
- Comprehensive health benefits package
- Hustle of a young startup - always something to do and something to improve Work with robots in real-life use cases running 24/7 with 99% up time
- Opportunities for professional development and growth into leadership roles
- Collaborative and inclusive work environment
What Does Success Look Like for This Role
Make sure the impact of the role on the team and the company is very visible here
3 months:
. You know the MAG AMR codebase, tooling, and CI/CD pipeline well enough to review anyone's work in it
. You've built working relationships with your team and understand each person's strengths
. Actively contributing to code reviews with useful, constructive feedback
. You've shipped or unblocked at least one meaningful fix or feature yourself
6 months:
. Your team is shipping navigation, SLAM, or state-machine work you've planned and structured
. There's a measurable improvement to navigation or localisation on a live deployment under your direction
. You're the first call when something breaks on a deployment, and you resolve it without escalating further
. Cross-team collaborator - hardware, software, and product teams rely on your input
12 months:
. You're driving architectural decisions for core AMR software components, not just reviewing them
. Your team has shipped algorithms that are running reliably in production at scale
. Engineers on your team are growing - you've mentored at least one into a more senior role
. You're trusted to represent the software team's priorities and tradeoffs in roadmap conversations
