About The Position

We’re looking for a Senior Application Software Engineer to lead the design and development of operator-facing UI/UX and fleet management applications for Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) deployed in production manufacturing environments. The Robotics Software team is pioneering the next generation of autonomous robotic systems, focusing on autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and intelligent robotic platforms. We develop full-stack robotics capabilities—from perception and planning to control and system integration—bringing innovative, real-world autonomous solutions to the future of the work.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related field
5+ years software engineering with 2+ years UI/HRI for industrial/robotics UI/Frontend Technologies
Mastery of JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frameworks like React or Angular to build responsive, data-heavy web interfaces.
Hands on Linux, Docker (for containerized deployments), and Git for version control
Ability to represent factory operations in engineering reviews, translating complex technical KPIs into actionable insights for both leadership and floor technicians.

Nice To Haves

6–10+ years of hands-on experience in high-performance web/mobile applications, with at least 5 years specifically in robotics or complex autonomous systems
Experience delivering production software in manufacturing/logistics.
Mastery of modern web frameworks (React/Angular) combined with deep knowledge of industrial SCADA platforms like Ignition, Siemens WinCC, or Rockwell FactoryTalk.
Familiarity with 3D visualization libraries (e.g., Three.js, WebGL) and simulation environments like NVIDIA Isaac Sim

Responsibilities

Lead UI/UX design & implementation for AMR operator consoles and fleet tools.
Build interactive map visualizations, mission planning UIs, and diagnostics dashboards.
Design tele‑operation and recovery workflows with safety interlocks.
Develop health monitoring & observability UIs.
Ship production-grade software: versioning, change control, incident response.
Integrate with robot middleware (ROS 2/DDS) and factory systems.
Provide hands-on support for live production systems, including debugging distributed software and resolving critical incidents to minimize factory downtime.
Champion performance, reliability, and accessibility.
Collaborate cross-functionally and mentor others.
