Responsibilities

  • Define and own end-to-end technical architecture for robotics intelligence platforms, autonomous systems, robotic fleets, and robotics services.
  • Architect robotics intelligence capabilities including perception, localization, SLAM, sensor fusion, motion planning, task planning, autonomous decision logic, robot learning, and runtime execution.
  • Design multi-robot orchestration and fleet-management architectures covering task allocation, traffic management, monitoring, exception handling, human intervention, and fleet optimization.
  • Define integration patterns across robot OEM systems, fleet managers, ROS/ROS 2, PLC/SCADA, MES, WMS, ERP, IoT platforms, industrial data platforms, and operational workflows.
  • Design cloud, edge, and GPU deployment architectures and establish observability, telemetry, diagnostics, software distribution, upgrade, rollback, and lifecycle-management patterns.
  • Partner with digital-twin and simulation teams on simulation, virtual commissioning, synthetic data, robot training, and deployment validation.
  • Establish production-readiness and service-management standards for testing, safety, cybersecurity, commissioning, supportability, and operational continuity.
  • Lead architecture reviews, design authority, architecture decision records, technical risk management, engineering governance, and technical mentorship.
  • Support pre-sales and solutioning through discovery, scoping, architecture proposals, estimates, demonstrations, partner selection, risk assessment, and delivery transition.
  • Build reusable reference architectures, adapters, integration patterns, test assets, and accelerators for robotics intelligence and fleet operations.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of professional experience in robotics engineering, robotics software, autonomous systems, industrial automation, or related fields.
  • Demonstrated experience architecting and deploying industrial or commercial robotics systems in production environments.
  • Strong proficiency in ROS/ROS 2, Python, and C++ for robotics applications and platform integration.
  • Hands-on experience with perception, localization, SLAM, motion planning, task planning, sensor fusion, controls, or autonomous navigation.
  • Experience with fleet management, multi-robot coordination, orchestration platforms, or distributed robotic systems.
  • Experience integrating robotics with PLC/SCADA, OPC UA, MQTT, EtherNet/IP, MES, WMS, or ERP systems.
  • Understanding of cloud, edge, and GPU-enabled deployment patterns, containers, APIs, event-driven integration, observability, and production operations.
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent minimum 12 years of work experience; an associate degree requires a minimum of 6 years of work experience.
  • Preferred experience includes NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Isaac ROS, Omniverse, Jetson, IGX, CUDA-enabled robotics, Kubernetes, Docker, MLOps/DevOps, edge orchestration, telemetry, remote support, and robotics software lifecycle management.
  • Preferred qualifications include robotics foundation models, robot learning, reinforcement or imitation learning, synthetic data, simulation-to-real workflows, Unified Operations Platforms, robotics control towers, multi-vendor fleet orchestration, industrial robots, cobots, AMRs/AGVs, mobile manipulation, machine vision, autonomous inspection, functional-safety standards, OT cybersecurity, and multi-site production rollouts.
  • Preferred background includes consulting, systems integration, product engineering, client-facing delivery, solutioning, pursuit support, or experience in manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, engineering, laboratories, data centers, or other asset-intensive operations.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, vision, life, and long-term disability coverage.
  • 401(k) plan, bonus opportunities, paid holidays, and paid time off.
  • Travel is required and may vary up to 75%.
  • The posting is anticipated to remain open until 10/19/2026.
