Mid/Senior Robotics Engineer

iKnowHow SA is a leading Software & Robotics Solutions company operating internationally. Within just a couple of years, our team grew up more than 80%, we moved into a new spacious and modern office, and we kicked off 2025 with several new and exciting projects in digital transformation, custom software, and robotics.

We are now looking for an experienced Robotics Engineer to join the core development team. The role includes outdoor localization (GNSS, IMU, LiDAR), Nav2 integration, behavior‑tree navigation, sensor fusion, simulation development and deployment on both autonomous ground vehicles and magnetic ship‑hull crawlers.

Responsibilities

• Develop robotics modules in ROS1 & ROS2 (nodes, lifecycle, launch systems)

• Design outdoor and marine localization pipelines (GNSS RTK, IMU fusion, LiDAR odometry)

• Integrate & tune Nav2, planners, controllers and Behavior Trees

• Develop C++14/17 and Python modules for production robots

• Build URDF/Xacro models & simulation plugins for Gazebo/Ignition

• Integrate sensors/drivers: LiDAR, IMU, cameras, motor controllers, magnetic crawler actuators

• Docker‑based development & CI/CD pipelines

• Field testing on outdoor rovers and ship‑hull climbing robots

• Debugging, logging analysis & performance tuning

• Degree in Robotics, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science or related scientific field

• 3–6+ years of experience in mobile robotics or marine robotics

• Strong experience with ROS1 and ROS2

• Excellent C++ (modern) and Python skills

• Experience with Nav2, BT‑based navigation, planners/controllers

• Understanding of localization, EKF fusion, odometry, IMU INS, LiDAR processing

• Hands‑on experience with mobile or marine robots

• Proficiency with Linux, Git, Docker

Nice to have:

• Experience with outdoor wheeled robots or marine robotics

• ROS2 DDS/QoS tuning experience

• SLAM experience (FAST‑LIO, LOAM, etc.)

• Hardware integration (RoboteQ, Livox, IMUs and custom drivers)

• Open‑source robotics contributions

• An attractive salary package

• Private health insurance plan

• Work on real autonomous robots deployed internationally

• A collaborative engineering culture with strong hands‑on focus

• Growth opportunities towards senior/lead roles
