Python and C++ Developer for Robotics Team

Our robotics team handles everything related to autonomous warehouse robots and other systems: from prototyping and developing initial models to launching mass production. We are looking for a C++ developer for our manipulator robot product team.

We are a team of developers and robotics specialists. We are responsible for product features to speed up and increase the reliability of robots. Join us for a great opportunity to develop products in the rapidly growing field of robotics.

What tasks await you

Developing the high-level control system We are creating flexible solutions that can be easily adapted to any customer site, and you can help us with this. Within this direction, you will need to work with state machines and Behavior Trees.

Developing tools for automating robot commissioning and support We deploy a large number of robots, and we need good tools for quick setup and support of robots on site, be able to promptly track degradations, and create self-repair tools.

Developing and refining key components for the robotic arm For this task, you will need to speed up and improve the reliability of the trajectory planner, collision checker, and the system for integrating the robot with external systems.
