Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Gather AI is pioneering a new era of warehouse intelligence through their groundbreaking vision-powered platform. They are seeking a Senior Robotics Platform Engineer to own the robotics platform layer across their product lines, ensuring reliable systems in real-world environments and driving the evolution of their platform architecture.
Responsibilities
- Own the ROS2 communications and middleware layer across drone and MHEV platforms, including the Zenoh-based comms layer, behavior trees, and system integration
- Maintain and evolve the Docker containers our robotics software runs in, keeping them lean, reliable, and consistently deployable to the field
- Build diagnostics and observability tooling that surfaces the health of the communications layer and running services, from low-level logging through dashboard visibility
- Define and manage deployment processes for getting software changes out to field hardware reliably and safely
- Develop the roadmap for converging our drone and MHEV architectures into a unified platform over time, and drive the execution of that convergence
- Support both Autonomy team pods across drone and MHEV, flexing between their needs as priorities shift
Skills
- Hands-on experience building and operating a working robotics system, such as drones, autonomous vehicles, or any platform with a meaningful communications layer between nodes
- Deep ROS2 experience including middleware, DDS or Zenoh, logging, and system integration
- Production experience with Docker containers in a robotics or embedded context, including container design, service management, and deployment
- Strong observability and diagnostics experience, knowing what to log, how to structure it, and how to surface failures across a distributed system
- Self-sufficient and proactive, comfortable identifying and driving solutions without waiting to be handed a spec
- Familiarity with Ansible or similar configuration management tooling for managing fleet deployments
- Experience working across multiple robotics platforms or product lines simultaneously
- Background in systems integration, connecting robotics stacks with partner or customer technologies
- Genuine interest in robotics systems and how they work, not just the software layer on top
