Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Software Engineer – Autonomous Mobile Robotics to support the design, development, integration, and lifecycle management of software systems used in Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) operating in data center environments.

This role focuses on developing and maintaining software architectures that enable reliable navigation, perception, and fleet coordination of robotic vehicles operating in complex facilities such as manufacturing plants, logistics centers, and data center infrastructure environments.

The successful candidate will contribute to the development and deployment of robot control software, sensor integration, navigation algorithms, and fleet management systems that support safe, scalable, and high-performance robotic operations.

Job Description:

• Develop, maintain, and optimize software for AGV and AMR control systems.
• Implement and support navigation, localization, and motion control algorithms used in autonomous vehicles.
• Develop software modules for real-time robot control and industrial automation systems.
•  Implement and maintain SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) navigation algorithms.
• Develop and maintain software using CODESYS for industrial robotic systems.
• Integrate robot control systems with industrial PLC architecture and automation infrastructure.
• Support communication protocols used in industrial robotics environments (EtherCAT, CAN, TCP/IP, Modbus, etc.).
• Design and support robot SLAM navigation and fleet management systems responsible for task scheduling, traffic control, and system coordination.
• Implement communication frameworks enabling multi-robot coordination and centralized fleet supervision.
•  Integrate robotics systems with WMS, MES, and facility control systems.
• Develop simulation and test environments for validating navigation algorithms and robot behaviors.
• Support system testing, commissioning, and Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) for robotic platforms.
• Debug field issues related to navigation, perception, and fleet coordination.
• Optimize system performance for high uptime and reliability in industrial operations.
• Support diagnostics, telemetry, and monitoring systems for robot fleets.
• Collaborate with hardware, controls, and mechanical teams to improve overall robot system performance.
