About the role
We are seeking a full-time Senior Robotics Software Engineer to enhance the performance and efficiency of our robot control stack—integrating advanced perception systems and adaptive decision-making algorithms—to empower industrial robotic arms with the autonomy required for diverse, high-precision pick-and-place applications. You will lead the motion planning and control systems development at OSARO, optimizing our software architecture and code to deliver deterministic, real-time performance. In this role, you will collaborate closely with teams across Hardware, Infrastructure, and Machine Learning to integrate robust, production-grade solutions into our customers’ complex software environments.
This role is ideal for candidates who are passionate about engineering solutions that bridge advanced robotics and real-time control, take full ownership of their work, and thrive in a challenging, collaborative environment.
This role involves travel to customer sites, travel time can range from 35% (10.5 weeks on average a year).
What You’ll Be Doing
•
Direct the development of motion planning and control systems for industrial robotic arms, with a focus on high-precision, pick-and-place operations.
•
Design and implement robust software interfaces with industrial robotic arms to achieve deterministic, real-time performance.
•
Lead technical design discussions and code reviews with an emphasis on real-time performance, and system robustness.
•
Collaborate with robotics and controls engineers to design, implement, and validate advanced control algorithms.
•
Create reliable, production-grade code aimed at near-term deployment, with a focus on performance, robustness, and scalability.
•
Research and develop cutting-edge control strategies to continually improve the performance, robustness, and versatility of our robotic systems.
•
Traveling to customer sites to manage software deployments.
Experience and Skills You’ll Need
•
BS in Computer Science, Robotics, or related field.
•
5+ years of experience in robotic control development, including experience with:
•
Developing and tuning control frameworks for robotic applications.
•
