Robotics Application Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Canada.

📋 Description

• Engage with actual robots rather than mere prototypes.

• Take charge of customer deployments from the integration phase to final sign-off.

• Tackle engineering challenges related to robotics software, system integration, and field performance.

• Participate throughout the complete lifecycle - from grasping customer needs to delivering reliable, production-ready systems on-site.

• Contribute to the enhancement and scaling of deployments over time.

• Create and tailor robotic behaviors for customer implementations by expanding existing platform components (e.g., behavior trees).

• Implement necessary functionalities and address complex software and system integration challenges vital for successful deployments.

• Conduct advanced troubleshooting, debugging, and root-cause analysis across robotics software, hardware, networking, and system integrations in live production settings.

• Identify and resolve deployment-critical issues across manipulation, motion planning, perception, and execution pipelines.

• Execute hands-on integration, validation, and stress testing on actual robotic hardware.

• Integrate systems utilizing ROS2 across the entire execution pipeline, from perception and motion to PLC interfaces.

• Assume responsibility for deployment readiness, which includes technical sign-off, delivery planning, and effort estimation.

• Collaborate with Field Deployment, AI, and Simulation teams to ensure seamless execution.

• Contribute to documentation, deployment processes, and engineering best practices.

⛳️ Requirements

• Proven experience in developing robotics software using ROS2 and simulation frameworks (e.g., Isaac Sim or similar).

• Strong programming proficiency in Python.

• Experience with robotic manipulators, end-effectors, and practical robotic manipulation systems.

• Familiarity with designing robot behaviors utilizing behavior trees or comparable frameworks.

• Excellent troubleshooting and debugging capabilities across distributed robotic systems, inclusive of software, hardware, and integration challenges.

• Experience in diagnosing and resolving intricate deployment issues in production robotic settings.

• Background in supporting or delivering production-grade robotic systems in the field.

• Ability to collaborate across teams and convey information clearly in technical environments.

• Capacity to work within practical constraints, timelines, and cross-team dependencies.

• Experience in documenting systems and managing issues to resolution.

🏝️ Benefits

• High exposure: Collaborate directly with founders and leadership on decisions that influence the company’s direction.

• Career acceleration: Cultivate deep, end-to-end expertise across robotics software, system integration, and real-world deployments - with clear pathways into technical leadership, deployment strategy, or broader ownership across the robotics stack.

• Real impact: Take ownership of and execute customer deployments from start to finish, with your contributions directly influencing system performance, reliability, and successful go-live in production environments.
