| Aspect | Full Time Moveit | Part Time Moveit |
|---|---|---|
| Work Hours | Typically 35-40 hours per week | Fewer hours, usually under 20 hours per week |
| Certifications | Often requires standard moving certifications or training | May not require full certifications, flexible training |
| Work Environment | Consistent schedule, full-time employment setting | Flexible hours, part-time or seasonal work |
| Employer Usage | Full-time positions with benefits in moving companies | Part-time roles, often seasonal or supplemental |
Full Time Moveit roles involve regular hours, full benefits, and consistent employment, while Part Time Moveit positions offer flexible scheduling with fewer hours. Both roles require similar skills and certifications but differ mainly in hours and employment benefits.

This job post has expired today. Applications are no longer accepted.
A rapidly growing robotics and automation company in the Greater Boston area is hiring a full-time Senior Robotics Engineer to lead motion planning and control development for advanced multi-axis robotic systems. This role focuses on ROS 2, MoveIt 2, motion planning algorithms, collision avoidance, robotic simulation, and real-time robotic control across highly complex electromechanical platforms. The position offers the opportunity to work directly with cutting-edge robotic hardware in a hands-on environment where software is tightly integrated with real-world automation systems and deployed directly into production environments.
This is an exciting opportunity for a robotics engineer who wants direct ownership over core motion planning systems and the ability to influence technical direction in a fast-moving startup environment. The company is looking for someone with deep expertise in robotic kinematics, trajectory planning, and hardware/software integration who enjoys solving difficult real-world robotics problems. You’ll work closely with perception, systems, hardware, and controls teams to build reliable collision-aware robotic systems operating in constrained industrial environments. This role offers immediate impact, close access to physical hardware, and the opportunity to help define next-generation robotic automation technology from the ground up.
Required Skills & Experience
· Deep expertise with motion planning algorithms including RRT, RRT*, PRM, CHOMP, STOMP, or TrajOpt
· 2+ years of hands-on experience with MoveIt or MoveIt 2 in production or near-production environments
· Strong experience within the ROS 2 ecosystem
· Strong proficiency in C++ and/or Python for robotics software development
· Experience with robotic kinematics, inverse kinematics, and motion constraints
· Experience with collision avoidance systems and occupancy mapping technologies such as OctoMap or voxel grids
· Experience with kinematic solvers such as KDL, TRAC-IK, or similar frameworks
· Experience building real-time robotic control and trajectory execution systems
· Strong debugging and hardware/software integration skills
· Experience with robotic simulation environments for development and validation
· Strong understanding of real-time software performance and system reliability
Desired Skills & Experience
· BS, MS, or PhD in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
· Experience with industrial automation or mechatronic systems beyond traditional robotic arms
· Experience with safety-rated motion control systems
· Familiarity with hardware abstraction layers and low-level firmware integration
· Experience with LiDAR, depth cameras, IMUs, or robotic perception systems
· Familiarity with point cloud processing tools such as PCL or Open3D
· Exposure to SLAM, object detection, or reactive motion planning systems
· Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing and field robotics deployments
What You Will Be Doing
