JOB DESCRIPTION
Globotix is a market-leading robotics company with a passion for all things high-tech. Our line-up of innovations and advanced technologies is widely deployed in many diverse industries across Singapore, attesting to our effectiveness and quality standards. Currently, our highly motivated R&D team of engineers, technicians and specialists is looking to welcome an additional talent into our close-knit family --- an enthusiastic, experienced and results-driven Robotics Software Engineer.
As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer, you will be an integral member of our design and development team working on the cutting edge of robotics, witnessing for yourself your very own contributions to robotic integration all over Singapore. Your main job is to develop, extend, support, and deploy robotics software, including the ROS programming framework and the Gazebo simulator. Join our team as we build the tools that drive the cleaning robots, from education and research to testing and robot deployment.
Furthermore, you will get to prove the robustness of your solutions both in simulation and in hardware, across hundreds of unique real-life environments of our customers. Ideally, you will possess most, if not all, of the requirements we have listed out, but honestly, we would welcome you just as warmly --- yes, even if you do not meet all our requisites --- as long as you have a hearty appetite for learning, is quick on the uptake and works well as a team player. So, if that sounds like a good description of who you are, hit us up pronto!
Topics of interest include perception, path planning, sensor fusion, physics simulation performance and accuracy, distributed systems, communications middleware, developer and debugging tools, web user interfaces, machine learning, and software packaging and distribution. The ideal candidate is proficient in some of these topics and capable of expanding into others.
We are seeking candidates at all levels with experience of at least 5 years. Responsibilities and compensation are commensurate with education and experience.
