AMR Robotics Software Engineer - Leading AI solutions firm (AMR/Smart retail/ROS/AGV)

About the Role

Our client is a tech startup developing innovative AI driven solutions for retail industry, with an established drone division and an exciting new ground robotics initiative. This is a founding technical role on a greenfield project — you will have full end-to-end ownership of an

Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR)

mobile base platform, from initial proof-of-concept through to commercial-scale deployment in complex indoor logistics environments. As the product scales, this role carries a natural growth path into building and leading a dedicated robotics engineering team. If you thrive in a 0-to-1 environment and want to shape the technical foundation of a category-defining product, this is a rare opportunity.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the full development lifecycle of the AMR mobile base system — from early prototyping and POC through to large-scale commercial deployment in demanding indoor warehouse settings
• Develop and optimise control software to manage communication and coordination between the ground mobile base and an onboard aerial payload, ensuring reliable command execution and seamless multi-platform collaboration
• Define drive system requirements (differential or omnidirectional) and lead the integration and tuning of navigation sensors (LiDAR, depth cameras, IMU) with the ROS2 Navigation Stack (Nav2)
• Lead hardware integration of the mobile base, including the design of power distribution architectures, electrical wiring schematics, and appropriate safety systems
• Drive the transition from prototype to commercial mass production; manage the supply chain for off-the-shelf and open-source chassis components, qualify vendors, and produce manufacturing and integration documentation
• Conduct rigorous stress testing and performance optimisation across both simulated and real-world warehouse environments to ensure high uptime and reliability in commercial operations
• Serve as the technical bridge between navigation software, hardware chassis, electrical design, sensor systems, and the existing drone engineering team

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related discipline
• Minimum 3 years of experience in robotics system development, with at least 3 years specifically focused on AMR or AGV platforms; a proven track record of successfully deploying robotic systems in commercial or industrial environments is essential
• Expert-level proficiency in modern C++ and Python, with deep hands-on experience in the ROS/ROS2 framework and real-time control systems; extensive practical experience with SLAM, path planning, and localisation algorithms is required
• Demonstrated success in hardware and system integration across mechanical assemblies, actuators, sensors, and power systems, including on-site commissioning and hardware/software troubleshooting
• Proven ability to collaborate across multiple technology vendors and cross-functional engineering teams in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary environment
• Experience with OpenCV and industrial vision systems (is a bonus)

If you are passionate about technology and meet the above requirements, please don't hesitate to apply. Please note that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. Appreciate your understanding. Data provided is for recruitment purposes only.
