Senior Navigation and Localization Engineer for Mobile Robotics (human)

The role

You will develop localization, path planning, and autonomy logic for mobile robots. You will integrate navigation with manipulation workflows and validate systems in Isaac Sim.

What you will do

• Choose, tune, integrate, and adapt robust localization and SLAM pipelines using multi-sensor fusion within the ROS2 framework
• Choose, tune, integrate and adapt path planning and obstacle avoidance algorithms
• Develop behavior- and decision logic for navigation in complex and dynamic environments
• Integrate navigation with manipulation workflows for coordinated mobile manipulation tasks
• Test and validate the navigation and localization in Isaac Sim
• Work in a multi-disciplinary and agile team and contribute to the roadmap

Required qualifications

• Master’s or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent
• 5+ years of professional experience in mobile robot navigation, localization, or autonomous systems
• Strong proficiency in Python and C++
• Solid understanding of SLAM algorithms, state estimation, sensor fusion techniques and path planning
• Experience with extending and customizing the Nav2 stack
• Experience with LiDAR, depth cameras, IMUs, and odometry integration
• Familiarity with behavior trees and robot state machines
• Experience writing tests for robotics systems and working with CI/CD pipelines and Git
• Excellent communication skills in English

Nice to have

• German is optional but welcome
