Role

We are seeking a hands-on Senior Robotics Engineer to support our robotics platform development. This role involves bringing up off-the-shelf sensors, validating data pipelines, and ensuring seamless integration into perception, control, and data fusion systems. You will work closely with hardware, firmware, and software teams to enable robust, real-time robotic behaviors.

Responsibilities

• Lead the initialization and functional bring-up of diverse off-the-shelf sensors (e.g., IMUs, depth cameras, tactile sensors, motion capture systems) across various robotic platforms.
• Investigate and integrate manufacturer-provided SDKs and APIs to unlock advanced sensor features and custom configurations.
• Capture and validate sample sensor data in real-world and simulated environments to assess signal quality, accuracy, and noise characteristics.
• Design and implement calibration and data synchronization routines to align sensor outputs with robotic system timebases and coordinate frames.
• Ensure sensor data formats (e.g., timestamps, units, message schemas) are compatible with downstream software modules including SLAM, perception, control, and sensor fusion frameworks.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with firmware, controls, and software teams to define sensor integration requirements and testing criteria.
• Build and maintain tools or scripts (primarily in Python) for automated data recording, visualization, and performance benchmarking.
• Document integration steps, known issues, and performance characteristics for each sensor platform to support reuse and scaling across multiple robotic platforms.
