ABOUT THE ROLE
You will join a long-term initiative in collaboration with a globally recognized industry leader.
The project focuses on advancing
physical AI and multi-fleet management systems
, aimed at significantly enhancing the performance and efficiency of outdoor vehicles.
This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of
robotics, AI, and real-world hardware
, where solutions go beyond simulation into practical application.
The team is involved not only in building new capabilities but also in
retrofitting existing systems with intelligent components
, bringing innovation to already deployed equipment.
RESPONSIBILITIE
Define and own the technical architecture for complex robotics solutions across domains (mobile robots, robotic arms, drones, AMRs)
Design scalable, reusable integration frameworks connecting robotics systems with cloud platforms and enterprise ecosystem
Lead end-to-end delivery: from prototyping and PoCs to production-ready systems
Establish architectural standards, design patterns, and best practices across the robotics team
Evaluate, select, and evolve technologies, tools, and platforms within the robotics stack
Drive research in emerging robotics trends and translate insights into practical architectural decisions
Architect perception, SLAM, planning, control, and multi-robot coordination systems
Ensure integration of hardware and software, including sensors, actuators, real-time systems, and electromechanical components
Oversee simulation and validation using tools such as Isaac Sim, Gazebo, or similar
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (AI, cloud, embedded, product) to align technical solutions with business goals
Engage with clients through workshops, technical discussions,



and architecture presentations (pre-sales and delivery)
