Strong C++ and Python skills
Experience with ROS2 (nodes, topics, transforms, lifecycle) or equivalent middleware
Knowledge of kinematics/dynamics, control systems, motion planning, and SLAM/localization concepts
Ability to design tests, debug from logs, and communicate engineering tradeoffs
Preferred
Computer vision for robotics (calibration, tracking, detection)
Simulation tooling, CI for robotics builds, telemetry/profiling
Safety validation, fault injection, reliability engineering
Evaluation protocols and labeling/guidelines compliance for data workflows
Compensation
Hourly pay range:
$30–$50/hr
(USD), based on scope, impact, and alignment to role requirements.
