Robotics Software Engineer - L3

We are seeking a Robotics Software Engineer who is passionate about building intelligent autonomous systems and solving complex real-world engineering challenges. You thrive in fast-paced environments, take ownership of technical problems from diagnosis to deployment, and enjoy working across software, hardware, and product teams to deliver reliable solutions.

If you enjoy seeing your code operate on real robots in live industrial environments and want to contribute to the future of autonomous mobile robotics and industrial automation, this role offers an opportunity to build technology with tangible, large-scale impact.

What Success Looks Like

3 months:

• Onboarded onto the MAG AMR stack — codebase, tooling, and CI/CD pipelines understood
• First bug fixes and minor features shipped independently
• Actively contributing to code reviews with useful, constructive feedback
• Comfortable running field tests and interpreting robot behaviour in real environments

6 months:

• Owns and ships at least one significant module — navigation, SLAM, or state machine
• Measurable improvement to navigation or localization performance on live deployments
• Trusted to debug complex runtime issues end-to-end with minimal escalation
• Cross-team collaborator — hardware, software, and product teams rely on your input

12 months:

• Driving architectural decisions on core AMR software components
• Algorithms you've built are running reliably in production deployments at scale
• Recognised as a go-to expert in at least one robotics domain (nav, SLAM, or controls)
• Mentoring junior engineers and raising the quality bar across the team

The key responsibilities includes:

• 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

• 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

• Competitive salary

• Comprehensive health benefits package

• Hustle of a young startup, always something to do and something to improve

• Opportunities for professional development and growth into management roles

• Collaborative and inclusive work environment
