Robotics Engineer

Robotics Engineer

Location: Bentonville, AR 72712

*All interested and qualified candidates can please contact Schuyler Moose at [email protected]


About the Role : We are seeking an experienced, highly technical Robotics Engineer capable of developing and integrating complete robotic systems. This is an end-to-end robotics role with a strong emphasis on ROS 2. The ideal candidate can work across the robotics stack-from sensors and perception through localization, motion planning, control, and hardware integration-and is comfortable taking a system from initial architecture through deployment on physical robots.


Responsibilities:

ROS 2 & Robotics Software

• Design and develop robotic systems using ROS 2

• Build ROS 2 nodes, packages, interfaces, launch systems, and configurations

• Develop production-quality robotics software in C++ and Python

• Architect and integrate distributed robotic systems

• Debug system-level issues involving timing, communication, performance, and hardware


Perception & Localization

• Develop and integrate perception systems using cameras, LiDAR, RGB-D, IMUs, and other sensors

• Implement perception, sensor fusion, localization, mapping, and state estimation

• Integrate perception and localization into planning and control systems


Motion Planning & Control

• Develop and integrate navigation, motion planning, trajectory generation, and obstacle avoidance

• Work with robot kinematics, controllers, actuators, and hardware interfaces

• Tune and validate robot motion and control on physical platforms


System Integration & Deployment

• Own and integrate the perception localization planning control actuation pipeline

• Bring up, test, debug, and deploy robotic systems in lab and production environments

• Develop simulation, testing, diagnostics, and deployment tools

• Transition robotics capabilities from prototype to reliable production systems


Collaboration

• Work closely with mechanical, electrical, controls, software, and operations teams

• Partner with robotics vendors and technology providers

• Drive technical decisions and help define robotic system architecture


Requirements:

• Deep hands-on experience with ROS 2

• Proven experience developing and deploying physical robotic systems

• Experience across multiple areas of the robotics stack: perception, localization, planning, and/or control

• Strong C++ and Python programming skills

• Experience integrating sensors, actuators, and robotic hardware

• Ability to independently debug complex robotics systems

• Strong understanding of real-time and distributed robotic software

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field

• 5+ years of professional robotics experience

• Strong proficiency in ROS 2 and C++

• Strong Python skills

• Experience with Linux-based robotic systems

• Experience deploying and debugging robotics software on physical robots


Preferred Qualifications (not required):

• Experience with autonomous mobile robots, manipulators, or industrial robotics

• Experience with LiDAR, cameras, RGB-D, IMUs, and sensor fusion

• Experience with SLAM, navigation, motion planning, or robot control

• Experience with simulation, automated testing, Docker, and CI/CD

• Experience deploying robotics systems in warehouse, supply chain, manufacturing, or industrial environments

• Experience taking robotic systems from R&D through production


What Success Looks Like:

The successful candidate is an end-to-end robotics engineer who can understand and contribute across the complete robotic system: sensing perception localization planning control actuation.

You should be comfortable writing ROS 2 software, integrating hardware, developing robotics algorithms, debugging complex system behavior, and deploying a complete robotic solution to a physical robot
