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 solid 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
