Job description

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

Tech Breakdown
· 40% Motion Planning & Trajectory Optimization
· 25% ROS 2 / MoveIt 2 Software Development
· 20% Hardware Integration & Real-Time Control
· 15% Simulation, Testing & Optimization

Daily Responsibilities
· 75% Hands On
· 10% System Design & Architecture
· 15% Team Collaboration

The Offer
• Bonus eligible
• Equity eligible

You will receive the following benefits:
· Medical Insurance
· Dental Benefits
· Vision Benefits
· Paid Time Off (PTO)
· 401(k)

Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the US on a full-time basis now and in the future.
