Job Description

As a Senior Development Engineer, you will be a key senior resource in a team, actively contributing to and leading the development of robotics software solutions for industrial applications (manufacturing/logistics). You will focus on developing multi-system management and orchestration capabilities for multi-robot and multi-device systems, particularly using the Robotics Middleware Framework (RMF). This role involves leading aspects of project execution, proactive contribution to new capability development, and continuous learning.



Roles and Responsibilities

Actively contribute to and lead specific areas of research and development for robotic software packages and tools for industrial applications using the ROS framework, including capabilities in Robotics Middleware Framework (RMF) multi-agent path planning, simulator design, perception, and motion planning. Drive application-oriented robotic research towards industrial automation using ROS 2. Contribute significantly to the architecture and lead the development of complex software solutions and core algorithms for interoperable multi-agent and multi-robot systems, focusing on coordination, scheduling optimisation, task assignment, and traffic deconfliction. Contribute to and lead the implementation of robust systems engineering approaches by translating business requirements into system requirements and validation methodologies, and develop comprehensive software testing and validation strategies in accordance with industry standards. Lead specific aspects of project scoping, planning, and execution for technical projects, and actively contribute to overall project delivery, including overseeing technical documentation, write-ups, and presentations.
