Job description

Your Impact at LILA

Lila's Autonomous Science Platform is building a closed-loop, AI-driven scientific facility, and inter- and intra-cell transport in the AISF is a critical bottleneck on that path. We're bringing on a Robotics Engineer on a temporary basis to help unblock it.

Sitting on the Next Gen Robotics team and based at Alewife, you'll work hands-on across the robotics stack - physical hardware and simulation - to integrate, tune, and debug systems that have to run reliably in production. The work spans ROS2 development, motion planning, and real-world hardware integration, with upstream science projects (including 1023-009-GRIDv1) gated on what you ship. This is a 3-month contract with potential to extend and potential to convert to full-time based on performance and ongoing need.

What You'll Be Building

  • Develop ROS2 nodes, launch files, and message/service/action interfaces to support inter- and intra-cell transport workflows
  • Bring up and integrate physical robotic systems - including arms, AMRs, or mobile manipulators - into the AISF environment
  • Build and maintain simulation environments in Isaac Sim and/or Gazebo to de-risk hardware deployments before they hit the floor
  • Debug hardware and software integration failures end-to-end: kinematics, calibration, timing, and sensor issues
  • Contribute domain depth in motion planning, navigation, localization, perception, or sensor fusion as the team's needs evolve
  • Document configurations, failure modes, and operating procedures so the team can scale and maintain what you deploy

What You'll Need to Succeed

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field, or equivalent hands-on industry experience
  • Strong experience with ROS2: node development, launch files, message/service/action interfaces
  • Solid understanding of robot kinematics - forward/inverse kinematics, Jacobians, transforms
  • Proficiency in at least one robotic simulation platform: NVIDIA Isaac Sim and/or Gazebo
  • Demonstrated experience working with physical robots - robotic arms, AMRs, and/or mobile manipulators
  • Depth in at least one of: motion planning (MoveIt2, trajectory generation), autonomous navigation (Nav2), localization (SLAM, AMCL), perception (object detection, depth sensing), or sensor fusion (IMU, LiDAR, camera integration)

Bonus Points For

  • Experience deploying robotic systems to production or field environments
  • Strong Python and/or C++ in a ROS2 context
  • Ability to debug hardware/software integration issues independently
  • Experience in lab automation or scientific environments
