*Integrating perception, sensor and vision systems
*Collaborating with software, electronics and mechanical engineering teams


What We’re Looking For
*Strong modern C++ experience
*Commercial ROS2 experience
*Robotics, automation or autonomous systems background
*Linux development experience
*Strong debugging and problem-solving skills


Nice To Have
*ROS2 Control
*Docker
*Embedded Linux
*Distributed systems
