What is the difference between Senior Robotics Engineer Localization vs Robotics Software Engineer?

AspectSenior Robotics Engineer LocalizationRobotics Software Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Robotics, Computer Science, or related; experience in localization algorithmsBachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related; programming skills
Work EnvironmentRobotics development labs, field testing, autonomous vehicle companiesSoftware development teams, robotics companies, research labs
Industry UsageAutonomous vehicles, mobile robots, dronesRobotics applications across industries, including manufacturing and service robots

While both roles involve robotics software development, Senior Robotics Engineer Localization specializes in developing algorithms for determining a robot's position within its environment, often requiring expertise in sensor fusion and mapping. Robotics Software Engineers focus broadly on creating software for robot control, perception, and navigation. The localization role is more specialized, whereas the software engineer role covers a wider range of robotics software development tasks.

Job description

Join Contoro Robotics - Revolutionizing Warehouse Automation with Cutting-Edge Robotics
At Contoro Robotics, we're on a mission to solve labor challenges through advanced robotic solutions. Headquartered in Austin, TX, our fast-growing startup is transforming the supply chain industry with our flagship warehouse automation technology. Our team is made up of top-tier experts in robotics, AI, and logistics, working together to push the boundaries of automation.
We're looking for talented and ambitious individuals to join us on this journey-helping shape the future of robotics while growing alongside a world-class team. If you're passionate about innovation, problem-solving, and making a real-world impact, we want to hear from you!
Intro
Contoro Robotics is an Austin-based startup revolutionizing warehouse automation with a cutting-edge autonomous truck unloading solution capable of handling payloads over 60 lbs. Our mission is to deploy reliable, high-throughput robotic systems that solve real logistics challenges daily-beyond proof-of-concept demos. We're seeking a seasoned Senior Robotics Engineer specializing in perception and sensor fusion to drive our next generation of autonomous capabilities from prototype to production.
Job Responsibility
  • Perception & Computer Vision
    • Detect and estimate 6-DoF poses and 3D dimensions of rigid objects under occlusion and challenging lighting.
  • Sensor Fusion & Calibration
    • Integrate and synchronize multi-modal sensors (cameras, LiDAR, IMU, radar/ultrasonic).
    • Perform extrinsic/intrinsic calibration techniques (hand-eye, LiDAR-camera alignment).
  • Localization & Environment Awareness
    • Implement lightweight localization methods (e.g., point-cloud registration, marker-based or feature-map alignment) within constrained, repetitive environments like shipping containers.

Qualification/Requirements
  • Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in robotics perception and sensor fusion, with at least 2 years in a senior or lead role.
  • Education: Min. bachelor's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field/equivalent industry experience).
  • Technical Expertise:
    • Proficient in C++ (modern standards), Python, and ROS 1/ROS 2.
    • Hands-on with industrial 3D cameras, LiDARs, IMUs, radar sensors, and synchronized data acquisition.
    • Deep understanding of multi-sensor calibration techniques (e.g., hand-eye, LiDAR-camera extrinsics).
    • Strong background in both deep-learning (e.g. YOLO, Mask R-CNN) and classical vision (feature matching, PnP, RANSAC) toolchains.
    • Proficiency with OpenCV, PCL, Open3D for real-time image and point-cloud processing.
  • Soft Skills:
    • Strong problem-solving skills and data-driven decision-making.
    • Excellent communication-capable of presenting complex technical concepts clearly to cross-functional teams.

Preferred/Plus
  • Exposure to SLAM-lite or marker-based mapping approaches (AprilTags, ArUco).
  • Prior work with cloud-based monitoring/logging (AWS RoboMaker, Azure IoT).

What We Offer
  • Competitive salary and equity options in a rapidly growing startup.
  • Comprehensive benefits:
    • health, vision, dental
    • 401k match
    • health & wellness program
    • continuous education
  • Free Office Snacks
  • Flexible Work hours
  • Entertainment Area (ping pong)
  • Pet friendly office
  • Employee Recognition Program (nectarHR)
  • A high-impact role with the chance to directly shape the future of robotics.
  • Opportunities for career growth in an exciting, fast-paced, and innovation-driven environment.
  • A collaborative and dynamic team, where your contributions are valued, and you'll have the support needed to excel.
