Advanced Robotics Group, LLC is seeking highly skilled Autonomous Robotics Software Engineers to join a small, high-performing team building autonomous robotics systems, computer vision solutions, and large-scale data platforms.

We are a deep-tech robotics company building industrial, fully autonomous systems designed to operate in harsh, real-world environments. Alongside our robotics platforms, we are developing a proprietary big data and analytics system that processes hundreds of terabytes of data to generate actionable insights.

Over the past decade, we have solved complex robotics and analytics challenges considered out of reach by much of the industry. We are now scaling our technology and preparing for global deployment.

If you’re interested in solving technically complex problems at the intersection of robotics, AI, and large-scale data systems—you’ll fit right in.

 

Why Join Us

· Work on cutting-edge robotics and autonomous systems
· Solve real-world, high-impact engineering problems
· Generous compensation, including stock options, plus full medical, vision, and disability coverage
· Collaborative, high-performance engineering culture
· Modern R&D facility (14,000+ sq ft) in Houston
· Daily team lunches and a stocked kitchen

 

Key Responsibilities

· Work on systems that directly impact real-world operations and safety
· Design and implement autonomous capabilities for high-performance robotic platforms
· Develop algorithms for localization, mapping, path planning, and navigation
· Integrate perception, sensing, and control systems into cohesive solutions
· Design and execute simulation and real-world testing to validate system robustness and reliability
· Build production-grade autonomy software from prototype to deployment
· Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to deliver integrated solutions
· Extend and integrate open-source robotics frameworks with proprietary systems

 

Required Qualifications

· BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, or related field
· Proven experience in robotics software development with successful project delivery
· Strong software engineering fundamentals (architecture, testing, debugging, code quality)
· Experience with localization, mapping, and state estimation techniques
· Experience with path planning and navigation algorithms
· Experience with system integration and system-level design
· Experience with ROS or similar robotics frameworks, with the ability to extend beyond them
· Fluency in modern C++ and performance optimization techniques
· Ability to work independently on open-ended engineering problems
· Strong problem-solving skills and systems-level thinking
· Demonstrated ability to learn and apply new technologies quickly
· High level of professional integrity and confidentiality

 

Preferred Qualifications

· 5+ years of related experience
· Experience building robotics systems deployed in real-world environments
· Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing
· Experience with embedded or real-time systems
· Experience with robotics simulation environments
· Hands-on experience with robotic platforms and field testing

 

Location

Main development center, Houston, Texas (on-site)
