About the job
Robotics Software Engineer – Localization
We are seeking an experienced Robotics Software Engineer to develop and advance localization capabilities for autonomous mobile robots operating in real-world indoor environments. This role is focused specifically on 3D LiDAR-based, non-visual localization, including localization algorithm development, LiDAR/IMU sensor fusion, SLAM, state estimation, and navigation.
The ideal candidate has hands-on experience developing and deploying localization software on production robotic platforms—not simply integrating or consuming localization outputs from an existing system.
Key Qualifications
Professional robotics software engineering experience with autonomous mobile robots or comparable autonomous systems
Hands-on development of 3D LiDAR-based localization and/or SLAM
Experience with LiDAR/IMU sensor fusion and state estimation
Strong C++ development skills
Experience with ROS/ROS2
Experience deploying and troubleshooting algorithms on physical robotic platforms
Background with AMRs, AGVs, autonomous forklifts, warehouse robotics, or other indoor mobile robotics strongly preferred
Pittsburgh-based or willing to relocate and work in a hybrid environment
