  • Provide technical support under guidance from senior engineers
  • Troubleshoot basic issues in ROS2, Linux environments, and Docker workflows
  • Help maintain and improve documentation, setup guides, and example projects
  • Support simulation and testing workflows (with mentorship)

  • Participate in robotics workshops, demos, and conferences (ICRA, RSS, CoRL, etc.)
  • Travel ~30–40% with structured support and planning

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (or near completion) in:
    Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field
  • Exposure to ROS or ROS2 through coursework, capstone projects, internships, or research
  • Basic experience working in Linux (Ubuntu) environments
  • Familiarity with Python and/or C++
  • Exposure to Git/GitHub in academic or team projects
  • Basic understanding of robotics concepts:
    • Coordinate frames and transforms
    • Intro kinematics concepts
    • Sensors and actuators (high-level understanding is fine)
  • Willingness and excitement to learn robotics systems in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to document technical work clearly

The role offers a fast learning curve, close mentorship from experienced engineers, and meaningful ownership of real customer-facing technical problems.
