Senior Robotics Engineer (AMK)

About the role:

We are seeking a senior Robotics Engineer with 3-4 years of hands-on experience to design, program, and deploy humanoid robots and robotic arms for maintenance task automation. You will work with humanoids (Unitree, UBTech, NAO/Pepper) and robotic manipulators (UR, Kinova, Dobot) to enable robots to perform inspection, equipment replacement, tool handling, and repair tasks in real-world environments.

Key responsibilities:

. Develop and optimize motion planning and control algorithms for robotic arms using ROS 2 and MoveIt!

. Program grasping, pick-and-place, tool usage (e.g., screwing/unscrewing), and inspection sequences.

. Integrate perception (RGB-D, LiDAR, AI-based detection) with arm and humanoid motion for visual servoing and adaptive manipulation.

. Work on humanoid locomotion + manipulation integration (whole-body control).

. Contribute to simulation and testing in Gazebo, Isaac Sim, or Webots perform hardware validation.

. Maintain and debug robotic hardware: bring-up, calibration, controller tuning, and sensor integration.

. Collaborate with senior engineers and contribute to field deployment and customer-facing demos.

Minimum qualifications:

. Bachelor's/Master's in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or related field.

. 3-4 years of hands-on robotics experience (post-graduation).

. Proficiency in Python and C++ strong grasp of ROS 2 frameworks.

. Solid understanding of robotic arm kinematics (FK/IK), trajectory planning, and control.

. Practical experience with robotic arms (UR, Kinova, Dobot, or equivalent).

. Familiarity with computer vision and perception for robotic manipulation.

Good to have:

. Experience with Unitree or UBTech humanoids (SDK integration, locomotion + manipulation).

. Familiarity with grasp planning libraries (MoveIt! Grasp, GraspIt!, Dex-Net).

. Hands-on deployment of robotic arms in maintenance, assembly, or inspection tasks.

. Exposure to simulation-to-real transfer and safety standards for robot deployment.
