Robotics Architect (with Clouds)

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will join a long-term initiative in collaboration with a globally recognized industry leader. The project focuses on advancing physical AI and multi-fleet management systems, aimed at significantly enhancing the performance and efficiency of outdoor vehicles.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of robotics, AI, and real-world hardware, where solutions go beyond simulation into practical application. The team is involved not only in building new capabilities but also in retrofitting existing systems with intelligent components, bringing innovation to already deployed equipment.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Define and own the technical architecture for complex robotics solutions across domains (mobile robots, robotic arms, drones, AMRs)
• Design scalable, reusable integration frameworks connecting robotics systems with cloud platforms and enterprise ecosystems
• Lead end-to-end delivery: from prototyping and PoCs to production-ready systems
• Establish architectural standards, design patterns, and best practices across robotics teams
• Evaluate, select, and evolve technologies, tools, and platforms within the robotics stack
• Drive research in emerging robotics trends and translate insights into practical architectural decisions
• Architect perception, SLAM, planning, control, and multi-robot coordination systems
• Ensure integration of hardware and software, including sensors, actuators, real-time systems, and electromechanical components
• Oversee simulation and validation using tools such as Isaac Sim, Gazebo, or similar
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (AI, cloud, embedded, product) to align technical solutions with business goals
• Engage with clients through workshops, technical discussions, and architecture presentations (pre-sales and delivery)

REQUIREMENTS

• Degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
• Proven experience in robotics system architecture and end-to-end solution design
• Expert proficiency in C++ and/or Python, building production-grade robotics software
• Strong experience with ROS2, including defining standards and best practices
• Hands-on experience across robotics domains (mobile robots, arms, drones, autonomous systems)
• Deep knowledge of SLAM, sensor fusion (LiDAR, IMU, vision, radar, GPS), localization, mapping, and motion planning (e.g., MoveIt2)
• Experience with simulation environments (Isaac Sim, Gazebo, or similar)
• Strong background in control systems, real-time computing, and hardware-software co-design
• Familiarity with cloud and IoT ecosystems (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including deployment pipelines
• Knowledge of industrial/embedded ecosystems (ARM, STM32, RTOS, PLC, SCADA)
• Experience in multi-robot and multi-vendor integration environments
• Strong analytical and systems-thinking mindset with solid mathematical foundations
• Excellent communication skills, including presenting to technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Proven experience in technical pre-sales (solution design, workshops, client engagement)
• Leadership experience, mentoring engineers, and guiding technical direction
• Advanced English proficiency for daily communication, documentation, and stakeholder interaction
