Sr. IT Software Engineer, AMR

Senior IT Software Engineer – AMR & Robotics

Location: Guntersville, AL | Full-Time | Senior Level

About the Role

Ready to drive the next generation of autonomous systems in smart manufacturing? We are seeking a highly skilled Senior IT Software Engineer to lead the design, development, and deployment of software solutions for our fleet of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) in Guntersville, AL. Serving as a key technical leader, you will split your time between driving strategic software initiatives in the office and troubleshooting complex systems hands-on on the factory floor. This role is critical for scaling our robotics operations, ensuring fleet reliability, and mentoring junior engineers.

What You’ll Do

As the subject matter expert for AMR software and system integration, you will lead the architecture and implementation of scalable software for our AMR fleet, making key design decisions across navigation, perception, and control systems. You will write core software components in C++ and Python—including algorithms for path planning, localization (SLAM), motion planning, and computer vision—while managing complex software projects from concept to completion.

A significant portion of your role will involve direct factory floor engagement: working alongside operations, maintenance, and automation teams to troubleshoot complex real-time issues and resolve systemic interactions between AMRs and industrial equipment. Additionally, you will lead the integration of AMR software with enterprise platforms (MES, WMS, ERP), build data tools for fleet health monitoring, and mentor junior team members.
