Keywords: ROS2 / Mobile Robotics / SLAM / Navigation / Localization / Motion Planning / Sensor Fusion / AMR / AGV / Linux / C++

About Trubot

Trubot Inc. develops intelligent robotic systems for autonomous inspection and physical automation in modern data centers.

Our robots operate in complex real-world environments and require reliable autonomy, navigation, perception, and system integration.

Position Summary

We are looking for a Robotics Software Engineer specializing in Mobile Robotics to join our robotics software team.

This role focuses on developing autonomous mobile robot software using ROS2 , including navigation, localization, perception, motion planning, and system integration.

This is not a robotic manipulation or machine learning research position.

We are looking for an engineer who has built and deployed autonomous mobile robot systems in real-world environments.

This role requires a systems-oriented robotics engineer who can understand, integrate, and troubleshoot interactions across multiple robot subsystems rather than focusing on a single software component.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain ROS2-based software for autonomous mobile robots
• Develop navigation, localization, motion planning, and robot control modules
• Integrate LiDAR, cameras, IMUs, wheel encoders, and other onboard sensors
• Develop and optimize perception and sensor fusion pipelines
• Debug and optimize robot behavior in dynamic real-world environments
• Perform robot system integration, testing, calibration, and field deployment
• Collaborate closely with hardware, electrical, and mechanical engineering teams
• Build reusable software modules and internal development tools

Required Qualifications

• MS or above in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• Strong C++ programming skills (Python is a plus)
• Strong Linux development experience
• Hands-on experience with ROS2
• Experience developing autonomous mobile robot software
• Strong understanding of:
• Navigation
• Localization
• Motion Planning
• Robot Control
• Experience with one or more of the following:
• SLAM
• LiDAR Mapping
• Sensor Fusion
• Obstacle Avoidance
• Experience integrating sensors and robot hardware
• Experience debugging autonomous robots in real deployment environments

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with one or more of the following is preferred:

• ROS2 Navigation Stack (Nav2)
• Behavior Trees
• SLAM Toolbox
• Cartographer
• RTAB-Map
• FAST-LIO / FAST-LIO2
• AMCL
• EKF or multi-sensor fusion
• Gazebo
• Isaac Sim
• Docker
• Git
• AMR / AGV platforms
• Autonomous inspection robots
• Industrial robotics
• Fleet management systems

Experience deploying and debugging robots in real-world environments is highly preferred over simulation-only experience.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an engineer who understands the mobile robotics software stack as a complete system—not just an individual software component.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience across:

• ROS2 architecture
• Navigation
• Localization
• Motion Planning
• Perception
• Sensor Integration
• Robot Control
• System Integration
• Real-world deployment and debugging

Candidates whose experience is primarily focused on robotic manipulation, computer vision research, simulation-only development, or machine learning without substantial mobile robotics software development may not be the best fit for this role.

Location

Fremont, California (On-site)

Relocation is available for qualified candidates.
