Senior Robotics Integration Engineer (Carmel)

Senior Robotics Integration Engineer

Robotics & Autonomous Systems

Carmel, Indiana (Relocation support for suitable, US based, out of area candidates)

Airbotics Talent are partnered with a global technology company developing robots, drones and advanced autonomous platforms.

We are looking for a Senior Robotics Integration Engineer to take hands on ownership of integrating advanced sensing, compute, communications and software technologies into robotic platforms.

This is not a management position. You will work directly with hardware and software, bringing systems together, debugging integration issues, validating performance and ensuring complete robotic platforms operate reliably in real world environments.

The ideal person will likely sit at the intersection of electrical/electronics engineering and software, someone who understands power, communications, sensors and embedded hardware, while being comfortable working with software engineers and debugging integrated robotic systems.

This is an opportunity to join a newly established robotics business within a major global technology organisation and work directly with advanced technology being integrated into real world autonomous systems.

The Role

You will take hands-on responsibility for the integration, bring up and validation of technologies across AMRs, ground robotics, drones and other autonomous platforms.

This includes:

• Integrating sensors, compute, communications hardware and payloads into robotic and autonomous platforms
• Bringing together electrical/electronic hardware, embedded systems and software into complete working systems
• Integrating cameras, radar, LiDAR, GNSS, IMUs and other sensing technologies
• Supporting electrical integration including power systems, interfaces, connectivity and digital communications
• Performing system bring-up, checkout, debugging and root-cause analysis across hardware and software
• Working with embedded systems, networking, telemetry and real-time software environments
• Developing and executing system level testing and validation
• Supporting prototypes, proof-of-concepts, customer demonstrations and field testing
• Working closely with AI/ML, perception, software, electrical, systems and validation engineers
• Interfacing with customers, technology partners and robotics OEM engineering teams

You will act as the technical bridge between individual technologies and the complete robotic system, ensuring sensors, compute, communications and software work together reliably on the physical platform.

The Person

This role is suited to a practical engineer who enjoys being close to the hardware, solving difficult system level problems and making complex robotic technologies work together.

You are likely to have:

• 8+ years of engineering experience within robotics, autonomous systems, drones, embedded systems or another complex hardware/software environment
• A background in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science or a related discipline
• Strong hands-on experience integrating hardware and software into physical products
• Good understanding of electrical/electronic systems, power, sensing, compute and digital communications
• Experience integrating sensors or payloads such as cameras, radar, LiDAR, GNSS or IMUs
• Strong system bring-up, debugging, troubleshooting and root-cause analysis capability
• Understanding of embedded systems, networking and real-time software constraints
• Experience working with Linux based and/or embedded software environments
• The ability to work effectively across electrical, software, systems and perception engineering
• Experience taking integrated systems into demonstrations, field testing or customer environments

Experience with AMRs, UGVs, warehouse/logistics robotics, drones or autonomous vehicles would be particularly valuable.

ROS/ROS 2, wireless communications, telemetry, heterogeneous compute platforms, SIL/HIL testing or AI/ML-enabled perception experience would also be advantageous.

This role is unlikely to be a fit if:

• You are looking for a people management or primarily strategic leadership position
• Your recent experience has moved away from hands on engineering and system integration
• Your background is primarily mechanical engineering
• Your experience is predominantly software without meaningful exposure to physical hardware and electronics

The position is based in Carmel, Indiana and requires regular hands-on access to the company's engineering facilities. Relocation support is available for the right candidate , with occasional travel for customer demonstrations and field testing.

Candidates must be US citizens and able to work in the United States without current or future visa sponsorship.
