Robotics AI/ML Engineer

Job Description

We are looking for a passionate and skilled Robotics AI/ML Engineer to join our team in developing intelligent and autonomous robotics systems. You will lead the development of drone software stacks, integrating onboard intelligence (AI/ML) with robotic middleware (ROS/ROS2) and backend systems. The ideal candidate has at least 1 year of hands-on experience in building real-world robotics software, with strong command over ROS/ROS2, computer vision, and machine learning applied to autonomous navigation, perception, or decision-making.

Key Responsibilities

• Robotics Software Development
• Build and maintain core ROS/ROS2-based software for autonomous SLAM navigation, and perception
• Develop real-time systems to handle sensor fusion, path planning, obstacle avoidance, and mission execution
• Implement algorithms for localization (GPS, SLAM, visual odometry) and mapping
• AI/ML Integration
• Develop and train AI/ML models for perception (e.g., object detection, tracking, segmentation)
• Deploy and optimize AI models on edge hardware (Jetson, Raspberry Pi, Odroid, etc.)
• Work on multi-camera vision, lidar fusion, and real-time inference pipelines
• System Integration & Backend Communication
• Integrate system software with backend/cloud systems using ROSBridge, WebSockets, MQTT, or custom APIs
• Build data pipelines for telemetry, health monitoring, and AI inference output
• Work with DevOps/Backend teams to ensure smooth interface with mission control and analytics dashboards
• Testing & Simulation
• Set up and manage simulated environments (e.g., Gazebo, Ignition) for testing flight logic and AI behavior
• Conduct real-world test flights with live data and iterative tuning of software models

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
• Minimum 1 year experience building autonomous systems using ROS/ROS2
• Experience with Drone stacks such as PX4, ArduPilot, MAVROS
• Experience with UGV/AGV, UMV/UMV related tech stacks
• Proficient in Python and C++ with experience writing ROS nodes and launch files
• Experience deploying AI/ML models for perception or control (e.g., YOLO, DeepSORT, CNNs, LSTMs)
• Hands-on experience with drones or mobile robotics platforms (simulation or real-world)
• Comfortable with version control (Git), Linux environments, and debugging complex robotic systems

Preferred Skills

• Experience with edge AI deployment tools (TensorRT, ONNX, OpenVINO)
• Familiarity with CV frameworks like OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorch
• Experience with cloud platforms for robotics (AWS RoboMaker, Azure, etc.)
• Understanding of control systems (PID, MPC), SLAM, or multi-agent systems
• Knowledge of cybersecurity best practices in robotics and IoT
