Senior Robotics System Engineer (AMR)

About the Role

Our client is an innovative technology company developing AI-powered solutions for retail and warehouse automation, with a flagship initiative centred on coordinating ground-based robotic platforms with aerial drone payloads. They are building a brand-new

Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR)

platform from the ground up, and this role sits at the very heart of that effort. As the founding technical pillar of a greenfield robotics programme, the successful candidate will own the full product lifecycle — from proof-of-concept through to commercial mass deployment. This is a rare opportunity to shape an entire robotics division and grow naturally into a leadership role as the platform scales.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the full lifecycle of the AMR platform, driving development from initial proof-of-concept and prototyping through to large-scale deployment in complex retail and warehouse environments
  
• Design and optimise control software to manage real-time dispatch and communication between the ground-based AMR unit and its onboard drone payload, as part of an air-ground coordination architecture
  
• Integrate multi-sensor systems — including LiDAR, depth cameras, and IMUs — using ROS2 (Nav2 Stack) for both differential and omnidirectional drive configurations
  
• Develop and validate SLAM, path planning, and localisation pipelines to ensure reliable autonomous navigation in dynamic, real-world environments
  
• Lead hardware and electrical integration efforts, including power distribution design, wiring schematics, chassis vendor engagement, and mass-production readiness
  
• Manage on-site commissioning, system troubleshooting, and performance tuning across deployment environments
  
• Establish engineering standards, documentation, and processes that lay the groundwork for a growing robotics team
  
• Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, software, and operations stakeholders to align technical deliverables with product and business milestones
  

Requirements

• At least 5 years of experience in robotics system engineering, with a minimum of 3 years dedicated to AMR or AGV development, including a proven track record of commercial or industrial deployment
  
• Strong software proficiency in C++ and Python, with hands-on expertise in ROS/ROS2, real-time control systems, SLAM, path planning, and localisation
  
• Practical experience with mechanical and electrical integration, including power systems, sensor fusion, and on-site hardware troubleshooting
  
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership of complex, end-to-end technical projects in a fast-paced or startup environment, with an appetite for growing into a team leadership capacity
  
• Experience with OpenCV and industrial machine vision (is a bonus)
  
• Background in multi-robot or heterogeneous system coordination (e.g. ground-aerial platforms) (is a bonus)
  

If you are passionate about technology and meet the above requirements, please don't hesitate to apply. Please note that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. Appreciate your understanding. Data provided is for recruitment purposes only.
