: We are seeking a hands-on Robotics Software Engineer to develop and improve the mobility stack of a differential-drive service robot operating in dynamic indoor environments. The role requires solid coding skills and practical experience solving real-world localization, navigation,

motion-control, and obstacle-avoidance challenges.

Experience Range: 1 - 3 years

Educational Qualifications: Any graduation

Job Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities

● Develop reliable robotics software using ROS 2, C++, and Python.

● Implement and tune SLAM, localization, Nav2, path planning, motion control, costmaps,

obstacle avoidance, and recovery behaviours.

● Integrate LiDAR, depth cameras, IMUs, wheel encoders, and motor controllers.

● Resolve odometry drift, TF errors, localization loss, oscillation, blocked paths, and planner or controller failures.

● Ensure safe and smooth navigation around people, tables, chairs, narrow passages, and moving obstacles.

● Test and validate navigation performance on a physical robot.

● Collaborate with embedded, electronics, mechanical, and product teams.

Skills Required: Robotics , Python , SLAM , Localization , LiDAR

Candidate Attributes:

Required Qualifications

● Practical experience with ROS 2, Linux, Nav2, C++, and Python.

● Strong understanding of differential-drive kinematics, odometry, TF2, URDF, SLAM,

localization, sensor fusion, and feedback control.

● Ability to debug robot behaviour using RViz, rosbag, logs, and real sensor data.

● Degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Electronics, Electrical

Engineering, or a related field; equivalent practical experience is acceptable.





Mandatory Project Experience

● Minimum one completed real-world project involving the mobility or autonomous navigation of a physical differential-drive robot, AMR, AGV, or service robot.

● The candidate must have personally developed, integrated, tuned, or debugged major mobility functions.

● Simulation-only experience is not sufficient.

Preferred Experience

● ROS 2 Jazzy or Humble, SLAM Toolbox, AMCL, robot_localization, and Nav2

behaviour trees.

● NVIDIA Jetson, RPLIDAR, Intel RealSense, CAN communication, and embedded motor controllers.

● Navigation experience in crowded or changing indoor environments.

Job Code: KL-79XHVDL9 About Us When Petpooja’s first avatar came into being in 2011, it was a simple B2B food delivery model that took bulk food orders from the corporates & passed them forward to the restaurants. But soon, our founders realised that the restaurants they worked with were not living up to their potential and were shutting down forever. Primarily it was due to a lack of coherent technology that could support their daily operations.

Their billing machines were as bulky, tedious and old as time. Due to this, the restaurants never had an actual estimate of their profit margins & expenses. Back then, restaurants were suffering more than growing.





This was when our founders decided to build a robust, user-friendly & cost-effective billing software for SMB restaurants that will automate everyday operations and push businesses towards sustainability.

And now, a decade into the industry, we have realized our dream of becoming the ideal restaurant billing solution provider to all & every kind of food service business in India. Why Us? Join the Petpooja Family!
