Robotics Software Engineer

About the Role

Our client is seeking a Robotics Software Engineer with strong full-stack Java/React experience and hands-on robotics expertise to help build the next generation of intelligent warehouse automation systems. This engineer will design, develop, and deploy software that connects physical robotic systems with cloud-based control, monitoring, and operational tools. The role spans embedded interfaces, backend services, and front-end applications that support high-throughput robotic fleets.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop backend services (Java, Spring Boot) supporting robotic fleet management, perception pipelines, and operational tooling.

• Build responsive and intuitive front-end dashboards using React for monitoring robot health, task execution, and warehouse workflows.

• Integrate with robotic hardware, sensors, PLCs, APIs, and warehouse automation systems to enable reliable control and data exchange.

• Collaborate with robotics, controls, and mechanical engineering teams to translate system requirements into robust, production-ready software.

• Develop features enabling autonomy, navigation, task assignment, mission orchestration, and system optimization.

• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, code reviews, and engineering best practices across cloud, on-prem, and edge deployments.

• Troubleshoot and optimize performance issues across the full stack, including software, networking, and hardware interfaces.

• Utilize real-world data to improve robot behavior, operational efficiency, and system reliability in warehouse environments.

Qualifications

• 3–8+ years of professional software engineering experience.

• Strong proficiency in Java, Spring Boot, and backend API development.

• Solid experience building modern front-end applications with React, TypeScript, and component-based design.

• Hands-on robotics or automation experience (e.g., ROS/ROS2, navigation, perception, controls, SLAM, or hardware integration).

• Experience with distributed systems, microservices, or real-time communication patterns.

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and DevOps tools (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD).

• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across software, networking, and hardware layers.

• Bonus experience: warehouse automation systems, AMRs/AGVs, robotic arms, or simulation tools (Gazebo, Ignition, Webots).

Why This Role

• Opportunity to work on high-impact products shaping the future of automated warehousing.

• Collaboration with a world-class, cross-functional robotics team.

• Hands-on work with systems that merge software, hardware, and autonomy.

• Competitive compensation, strong benefits, and long-term career growth potential.
