Robotics Software Engineer

Position - Robotic Software Engineer

Asylon’s Robotic Software Engineer is responsible for software development on the for autonomous ground robots. In this role, you will design, implement, and deploy software solutions for autonomous navigation, motion planning, localization, state estimation, and sensor fusion across our fleet of Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs).

In addition to core development, you will play a key role in supporting our deployment teams and customers by troubleshooting real-world issues, performing root-cause analysis on field failures, and translating customer feedback into software improvements.

Primary duties include:

· Software development: Write clean, modular, and well-documented code for ground robots including DroneDog, our Spot-based quadruped, to create new features for our users and enhance reliability.

· Algorithm & Feature Development: Software development for autonomous ground robot navigation, motion planning (global and local), SLAM, dynamic obstacle avoidance, and sensor fusion

· Sensor Integration: Integrate, calibrate, and filter data from various sensors including LiDAR, cameras, IMUs, wheel encoders, and GPS/RTK.

· Field Testing & Field Deployment: Coordinate, develop, and test product updates, including Software in the Loop (SIL) and Hardware in the Loop (HIL) testing.

· Troubleshooting and Customer Support: Directly analyze, diagnose, and resolve technical software issues experienced during development and in the field.

· Root-Cause Analysis & Diagnostics: Review telemetry, logs, and system performance metrics from deployments to perform root-cause analysis on unexpected robot behaviors or software failures.

· Continuous Improvement: Work closely with customer success teams to translate customer pain points into bug fixes, diagnostic tools, and new features.

Required Skills and Experience:

· Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.

· 2+ years of professional experience with software development on robotic systems.

· Strong proficiency in Python and other high level programming languages.

· Experience with Linux.

· Experience with continuous integration (CI/CD), Docker containers, and Git workflows.

· Able to work in the Asylon headquarters

Physical Requirements:

This role requires regular, in-person work at an outdoor test facility, collaborating directly with the test team during active testing, including but not limited to:

· Ability to traverse approximately 600 ft each way to the test cell, including uphill and uneven terrain

· Ability to stand and remain on-site outdoors for extended periods (up to 3 hours at a time) during test sessions

· Ability to work in varying weather conditions (heat, cold, wind, precipitation) as dictated by test schedules

· Occasionally required to lift/carry test equipment, laptops, or field gear (up to 20 lbs)

Preferred Qualifications:

· Experience deploying software on resource-constrained embedded systems

· Experience with remote diagnostic tools, telemetry platforms, and remote OTA (over-the-air) update systems.

· Experience with physics simulators

· Familiarity with computer vision frameworks and deep learning models
