Robotic Software Engineer- Perception and Autonomy

Framatome North America•Lynchburg, VA
•Onsite

About The Position

As the need for nuclear energy grows, the future couldn’t be brighter. Join our vital mission to create lasting solutions for our planet’s greatest challenges. In this role, you are ready to shape the future of clean energy and make a long-lasting global impact. With us, anticipate engaging and challenging projects that deliver innovative solutions and value-added technologies helping power more than 38 million North American homes. In this role you will build and test autonomy and perception features to enhance teleoperated mobile robots for non-destructive inspection. The role blends hands‑on software development with system integration while working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams. You’ll own meaningful subsystems early on and gradually influence how future robots are designed, tested, and deployed.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field. Equivalent work experience may be considered in lieu of degree.
  • Minimum of 2 years of related experience.
  • Hands-on experience developing and deploying robotics software on Windows and Linux, using Git, package management, logging, profiling, and containerized deployment.
  • Direct experience in mobile robotics and one or more of: robotic vision, state estimation and localization, sensor fusion.
  • Excellent communication skills with ability to work effectively with all levels of staff and management.
  • Ability to develop and maintain good interpersonal relationships; work collaboratively in a team environment.
  • Aptitude to change priorities quickly, confront issues directly and work well as part of a team.

Nice To Haves

  • Experience with ROS2 is strongly preferred, although not required.
  • Other mechanical and electrical engineering experience, as relevant for robotics, is welcome, but not required.

Responsibilities

  • Independently design, debug, test, and review robotics systems, including hardware-in-the-loop and sim-to-real environments.
  • Build, configure, and integrate subsystems responsible for sensor fusion, perception, and remote autonomous deployment.
  • Prototype and mature robot localization and state estimation, including visual-inertial odometry and SLAM.
  • Develop and tune trajectory planning solutions for mobile robots, leveraging cost maps, planners, and behavior trees.
  • Diagnose and resolve issues related to sensor integration, timing, frame inconsistencies, and system failures.
  • As you grow in the role, assume ownership of a specific application, including operational and strategic leadership, creating and defending system design, and technical leadership at the interface with internal and external partners.
  • As you grow in your role, teach and provide guidance to less experienced software engineers.
