Robotics Software Engineer (Motion Planning & Localization)

Chore Robotics is looking for a passionate Robotics Software Engineer to join our team and help advance the autonomy stack for our next generation of outdoor autonomous robots. This full-time position involves designing, developing, and deploying software that powers real-world autonomous systems. The role requires close collaboration with both hardware and software teams to translate complex algorithms into reliable, functional capabilities on physical robotic platforms.

Key Responsibilities
- Develop algorithms for motion planning, navigation, path planning, and obstacle avoidance.
- Build localization and sensor-fusion systems using LiDAR, IMU, GNSS/RTK, encoders, cameras, and other sensors.
- Implement trajectory generation and path tracking methods.
- Develop, test, and deploy software directly on robotic platforms in real-world environments.
- Utilize ROS 2, C++, and Python extensively to create robust autonomy solutions.
- Debug and optimize autonomy systems through simulation and field testing.

Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline.
- Strong proficiency in ROS 2, C++, and Python programming languages.
- Solid understanding of core robotics concepts such as localization, motion planning, and sensor fusion.
- Experience working in Linux-based robotics development environments.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits
- Experience with Nav2, SLAM, LiDAR localization, Extended/Unscented Kalman Filters (EKF/UKF), Model Predictive Control (MPC), Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRT), and A* algorithms.
- Familiarity with simulation tools like Isaac Sim or Gazebo.
- Hands-on experience with NVIDIA Jetson platforms or outdoor Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) / Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR).
- Competitive salary starting at Rs 90,000 per month.
- Hybrid remote work setup based in Islamabad.

This position offers an exciting chance to contribute to cutting-edge outdoor autonomous robotics technology within a collaborative and innovative environment.
