Software Engineer (Fleet Management)
Summary
The Fleet Management Software Engineer develops backend systems for coordinating autonomous mobile robots in industrial environments, focusing on task scheduling, traffic management, and VDA 5050 integration. The role requires proficiency in backend languages like Python, C++, or Go and experience with distributed systems and robotics communication protocols.
About the role
We are seeking a skilled and hands-on Fleet Management Software Engineer to develop software systems for coordinating AGVs, AMRs, autonomous forklifts, and other mobile robots within warehouse and industrial environments. This role focuses on fleet-level software, including robot assignment, task scheduling, traffic management, mission execution, charging coordination, VDA 5050 compliance, and integration with Warehouse Control Systems and third-party robot fleets. The successful candidate should have a strong software engineering background with good knowledge of mobile robotics, ROS, AMR architecture, and distributed systems. This position does not focus on developing onboard localization, SLAM, perception, navigation, or low-level vehicle-control software. Beyond technical execution, the successful candidate will demonstrate strong engineering discipline and cross-functional collaboration to support standardized, scalable, and maintainable product delivery.
Key responsibilities
Design, implement, and maintain software services for robot assignments, task dispatching, mission execution, multi-vendor fleet integration, fleet monitoring, robot-state management, WCS integration
Develop algorithms for task allocation, robot selection, scheduling, traffic coordination, deadlock prevention, congestion management, and charging allocation
Develop and maintain VDA 5050-compliant interfaces, including order, state, instant action, connection, factsheet, and visualization messages
Participate in system testing, simulation, commissioning, customer deployment, troubleshooting, and performance optimization
About you
Professional proficiency in Python, C++, Java, Go, or another suitable backend programming language
Strong understanding of algorithms, data structures, concurrency, networking, and object-oriented software design
Experience with REST APIs, WebSockets, MQTT, TCP/IP, or other software and industrial communication protocols
Understanding of asynchronous communication, timeouts, retries, acknowledgements, message ordering, duplicate messages, and state synchronization
Understanding of task allocation, scheduling, robot dispatching, traffic management, resource locking, charging coordination, and mission execution
Proven experience contributing to fleet-management, robotics, warehouse automation, or distributed software projects
Ability to explain technical concepts clearly to Engineering, Product, Operations, Management, customers, and external vendors
Proactive team member who identifies blockers, manages dependencies, and works effectively across software, robotics, hardware, and deployment teams
