Careers
— Senior Robotics Software Engineer

We are seeking a talented Senior Robotics Software Engineer to join our Navigation Team at our headquarters in Carate Brianza. In this critical role, you will be the driving force behind our robots' ability to perceive and navigate the world. You will design, implement, and maintain the core autonomous navigation stack, enabling our robots to move safely and robustly through complex, dynamic environments.

Key responsibilities

• Design and maintain state-of-the-art software solutions for our robots' navigation stack, ensuring robust and safe movement.
• Develop and optimize SLAM and localization algorithms using data from a diverse sensor suite (2D/3D LiDAR, RGB-D cameras, IMU, etc.).
• Implement and customize global and local path-planning algorithms and obstacle avoidance strategies, integrating machine learning models to enhance performance in unstructured scenarios.
• Apply advanced AI techniques, such as Reinforcement Learning or anomaly detection, to optimize trajectories and real-time decision-making.
• Implement sensor fusion techniques to create a unified and reliable perception of the environment.
• Integrate, test, and validate navigation solutions within the complete robot software architecture, both in simulation and on physical hardware.
• Collaborate closely with hardware and software teams to define system requirements and ensure seamless integration.

Qualifications required

• Master's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Automation Engineering, or a related field.
• Solid professional experience in software development with a strong focus on autonomous robot navigation.
• Excellent proficiency in C++ and Python, with a firm grasp of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles.
• Deep knowledge of ROS and preferably ROS2, including its navigation stack (Nav2).
• Hands-on experience with algorithms for SLAM, localization, path planning, and sensor fusion.
• Practical familiarity with sensors such as 2D/3D LiDAR, RGB-D cameras, and IMUs.
• Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and code optimization skills.
• Strong communication and collaboration abilities.
• Full professional proficiency in English (written and spoken).

Preferred

• Experience applying Deep Learning or Reinforcement Learning techniques to robotics.
• Familiarity with machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch.

Additional information
