Robotics Engineer

At Delian, we design and build critical infrastructure for high-impact missions. As we expand our high-performance teams across Athens and London, we’re seeking a Robotics Engineer to join us in Athens.

In this role you will

• Design and develop robotic software systems for perception, localization, planning, and control.

• Build and maintain ROS 2-based architectures, including nodes, lifecycle management, and distributed communication across robotic subsystems.

• Develop and integrate multi-sensor pipelines (cameras, LiDAR, IMU, GPS, radar) for real-world autonomy.

• Implement state estimation, sensor fusion, and motion planning algorithms.

• Design system-level architectures for modular, scalable robotic platforms.

• Work with simulation environments (e.g., Gazebo, Isaac Sim) for development, testing, and validation.

• Conduct hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and field testing to validate robotic behaviors in real environments.

• Collaborate with embedded, hardware, and backend teams to deliver end-to-end robotic capabilities.

Must have experience

• Degree in robotics, computer science, engineering, or related field.

• Experience in robotics and autonomous systems development.

• Practical experience deploying robotic systems in real-world environments, iterating and improving them.

• Strong understanding of robotics frameworks like ROS 2, including node architecture, DDS configuration, and system integration

• Proficiency in C++ and Python for robotics software development.

• Experience with robotics simulation tools (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, or similar).

• Hands-on experience with robotics platforms (e.g., Industrial or AMRs).

• Strong understanding of robot kinematics, dynamics, and control systems.

• Experience with build systems and CI/CD pipelines for validating robotics software.

• Experience integrating and validating hardware peripherals and sensors at driver level.

• Experience with perception and sensor fusion pipelines.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with AI/ML for perception (e.g., object detection, tracking).

• Background in multi-robot systems or distributed autonomy.

• Contributions to ROS packages or open-source robotics frameworks.

About Delian

We live under a new world order. To protect Europe and its allies we're building a new defense prime. One tailored for the era of autonomous warfare.

While building for the future, our culture emulates the defense industry's roots: mass scale; operational excellence; execution speed; rapid technology adoption.

To strive for this we combine expertise in autonomy, electronic warfare and rapid manufacturing. Paired with young, passionate and mission driven engineering and technical talent.

We have offices in Athens & London.
