Your mission & challenges
We're looking for a Navigation Software Engineer to integrate, validate, and improve third-party and internal navigation solutions on our mobile robot platforms. You'll join our software department and work with third-party navigation, ROS 2, robot middleware, and fleet interfaces to make mobile robots navigate reliably in real customer environments.
-
You integrate and debug third-party navigation solutions into mobile robot and mobile manipulator platforms.
-
You develop and maintain a deep understanding of navigation software capabilities, configuration options, release updates, and known limitations; you collaborate with vendors by reporting issues, sharing feedback, and following up on bug fixes or feature improvements.
-
You develop software adapters between navigation systems, hardware interfaces, and fleet interfaces based on existing navigation systems.
-
You support navigation commissioning on real robots, including map creation, localization tuning, trajectory validation, and recovery behavior.
-
You analyze navigation failures using Docker logs, rosbag, RViz/Foxglove, and customer feedback.
-
You define standard commissioning and acceptance criteria for navigation performance, robustness, safety-related behavior, and navigation integration.
What we can look forward to
-
A degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
-
2+ years of relevant work experience in robotics, software engineering, or a related technical field is a plus.
-
Solid knowledge of navigation and localization (SLAM) techniques and ROS 2.
-
Experience with C++, Python, RESTful APIs, and Docker.
-
The ability to debug and isolate issues in complex software architectures, independently analyze root causes, and resolve problems with the right tools and methods.
-
Understanding of VDA5050, fleet management, or multi-robot traffic concepts is a plus.
-
Willingness to work with real robots, customer environments, and cross-functional teams.
-
Good English communication skills.
