About the role

The AI Research Division of Agile Robots is looking for a dedicated (Senior) Software Engineer with experience in robotics. You are expected to have 2 to 5 years of experience in the field, showing proficiency in developing software for robotic hardware in the context of robotic learning. This position is at the intersection between AI and robotics with a focus on enabling high-quality training data collection for AI-based robot learning. Prior hands-on experience in these areas would be a significant plus.

Your Responsibilities

• System Design: Develop software systems for large-scale robotic data collection, ensuring reliability and scalability;
• Engineering Principles: Apply structured practices to build maintainable, modular, and testable codebases;
• Integration: Connect diverse robotic hardware platforms into unified data collection workflows;
• Sensors: Configure and synchronize input devices (e.g., cameras, force-torque sensors, motion trackers) for data acquisition.

Essential Skills

• Programming: Proficiency in Python; C++ experience is a strong advantage;
• ROS2/DDS: Practical experience enabling communication across distributed robotic systems;
• Deployment: Familiarity with containerization and CI/CD pipelines using Docker;
• Architecture: Solid understanding of object-oriented programming and software architecture;
• Data Handling: Experience with data schemas, visualization pipelines, and serialization formats (e.g., Protobuf, MCAP, lerobot);
• Development Process: Experience working in agile, iterative environments.

Beneficial Skills

• Teleoperation: Hands-on experience operating robots for data collection or demonstrations;
• Systems & Simulation: Knowledge of control architectures, sensor/actuator integration, UI workflows, and simulation tools (e.g., Isaac Sim, MuJoCo);
• AI & Research: Exposure to robotics AI models and serving frameworks, familiarity with VR/AR or Unity, and a track record of publications in Robotics, ML, or Computer Vision.
