Overview: Octobotics is seeking a Senior Robotics Engineer – ROS2 (C++) to join our innovative team in Noida. You will play a crucial role in designing, developing, and deploying advanced robotics solutions, contributing to the next generation of autonomous systems. This is an exciting opportunity to leverage your expertise in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and implementation of complex ROS2-based robotic systems using C++.
• Develop and optimize algorithms for SLAM (e.g., Cartographer, SLAM Toolbox), navigation (Nav2), and motion control (e.g., Ackermann, Differential Drive).
• Implement real-time safe C++ code, leveraging smart pointers, RAII, and multi-threaded executors.
• Design and integrate custom .msg/.srv types for efficient inter-node communication.
• Optimize ROS2 QoS settings and DDS tuning for high-performance applications.
• Develop and integrate Behavior Tree plugins for robust robot autonomy.
• Work with kinematic models, transformations (TF tree, SE(3), Quaternions), and probabilistic robotics (Bayesian Estimation, EKF/UKF via robot_localization).
• Transition existing ROS1 systems to ROS2, utilizing Node Composition and Lifecycle nodes.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, or related field.
• 4-10 years of experience in robotics software development.
• Strong proficiency in C++ and Python.
• Extensive experience with ROS2 and ROS1.
• Deep understanding of linear algebra, transformations, and kinematics.
• Hands-on experience with SLAM algorithms (Cartographer, SLAM Toolbox) and navigation stacks (Nav2).
• Familiarity with Protobuf/Protocol Buffers.
• Demonstrated ability to write real-time safe, robust, and efficient C++ code.
