Your mission & challenges
About the role
We’re looking for a Navigation Software Engineer to integrate, validate, and improve third-party and internal navigation solutions on our mobile robot platforms. You’ll join our software department and work with third-party navigation, ROS 2, robot middleware, and fleet interfaces to make mobile robots navigate reliably in real customer environments.
•
You integrate and debug third-party navigation solutions into mobile robot and mobile manipulator platforms.
•
You develop and maintain a deep understanding of navigation software capabilities, configuration options, release updates, and known limitations; you collaborate with vendors by reporting issues, sharing feedback, and following up on bug fixes or feature improvements.
•
You develop software adapters between navigation systems, hardware interfaces, and fleet interfaces based on existing navigation systems.
•
You support navigation commissioning on real robots, including map creation, localization tuning, trajectory validation, and recovery behavior.
•
You analyze navigation failures using Docker logs, rosbag, RViz/Foxglove, and customer feedback.
•
You define standard commissioning and acceptance criteria for navigation performance, robustness, safety-related behavior, and navigation integration.
