The Company

Our client is a well-known scale-up in the Robotics and AI sector with 80 employees, and millions in turnover. The company stands out as an absolute pioneer in the application of artificial intelligence to humanoid robots.

Having recently expanded into the United States, the company anticipates broad-scale growth over the coming years, both in terms of workforce and project scope. Their products are primarily applied within the Manufacturing, Healthcare, and Aerospace industries.

The Role

We are looking for a hands-on Robotics Software Engineer to join our Navigation Team.

This is an operational role, not a research one: our robots are already deployed in factories, and we need someone to solve the complex engineering problems that only appear in production.

You will own the software platform beneath our navigation stack. By collaborating across the Software, Hardware, and Customer Support teams, you will ensure our system becomes increasingly robust—taking end-to-end ownership from debugging code to troubleshooting the physical robot on the factory floor.

Key Responsibilities

- Maintain & Optimize: Debug and refactor existing ROS/ROS 2 C and Python codebases rather than building from scratch.
- Hands-on Hardware: Configure hardware, calibrate sensors (LiDAR, IMU, cameras), and test physical robots.
- Testing & Tuning: Measure the robot's performance against tech specs and tune SLAM, localization, and path-planning for dynamic environments.
- Field Support & Deployment: Troubleshoot production issues, validate bug fixes on hardware, and provide technical assistance for deployed robots.

Requirements

- Degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Automation Engineering, or a related field.




- Real-world experience deploying, testing, and maintaining autonomous robot navigation systems.
- Strong C and Python skills with a knack for debugging existing code.
- Solid practical ROS/ROS 2 experience, especially the navigation stack (Nav2).
- Ability to diagnose complex hardware/software interactions and troubleshoot sensors (LiDAR, RGB-D cameras, IMUs).
- Familiarity with IoT/streaming protocols (MQTT, NATS, WebRTC).
- Proactive team player with transparent approach, willing to help others and continuously improve daily operations.
- Willingness to travel occasionally to customer sites for on-site troubleshooting.
- Full professional proficiency in English.

Nice to Have

- Experience with industrial robots, AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), or AGVs, including the commissioning of automation systems and industrial tools.
- Experience with modern software practices: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines.
- Experience with robotic fleets management systems
- Familiarity with AI/ML and Deep/Reinforcement Learning techniques applied to robotics.

Other details:

- Location: Carate Brianza (MB), Italy.
- Contract: Full-time, permanent.
- Flexibility: A flexible start time (1.5-hour window).
- Hybrid Work: Opportunity to work from home one day per week.
- Mobility: A driver's license (Type B) and personal vehicle are preferred.
- Collective National Agreement CCNL Metalmeccanico, welfare 250€ and budget 30-50.000€
- Car sharing given from the company to get from Milan to the company site in Monza Brianza - pick-up points in Milan (Loreto and Turro)
- Driving licence is preferred and Italy work permit is required
- Knowledge of Italian Language is not mandatory, English It is.
