About the job Senior Robotics Software Engineer – ROS1 / ROS2 & AMR
Location: Tagus Park, Portugal
Work Model: Hybrid – 3 days on-site
Contract: Full-time
Salary: €55,000–€65,000 gross/year × 14 salaries
Relocation: No relocation support provided
About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Robotics Software Engineer to improve the robustness, reliability, and industrial readiness of an advanced Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) software platform.
This is a highly hands-on engineering role focused on ROS1/ROS2, navigation, localization, system reliability, and real-world robot deployments.
What You'll Do
- Support the migration of the robotics stack from ROS1 to ROS2
- Improve robustness and stability of deployed AMR systems
- Troubleshoot navigation, localization, sensor, and system-level issues
- Debug across ROS1, ROS2, Docker, and Linux
- Improve recovery strategies, fault handling, testing, and software quality
- Investigate difficult real-world edge cases and recurring field issues
- Support customer deployments and production incidents
- Collaborate with Robotics, QA, Backend, DevOps, and Product teams
Requirements
- Strong ROS1 and ROS2 experience
- Proven experience deploying robots in real-world/production environments
- Strong C++ and Python
- Experience with navigation, localization, sensors, and robot lifecycle management
- Strong Linux/Ubuntu troubleshooting skills
- Experience with Docker, Git, CI/CD, and distributed systems
- Production debugging and root-cause analysis experience
- Automated testing and software quality practices
- Ability to work hands-on across the robotics software stack
Nice to Have
- AMR, industrial robotics, or fleet management experience
- VDA 5050, traffic management, or multi-robot systems
- DDS, Kubernetes, Rust
- Gazebo/Ignition and simulation validation
- Safety-related development / IEC 62443
- Performance profiling
- Mapping and localization expertise
Important
This is not a research, simulation-only, or pure robotics algorithm role.
We need an engineer with real-world robot deployment experience who can diagnose production problems, improve system robustness, and understand why robots behave the way they do.
The role is approximately 70–80% hands-on engineering.
