Robotics Software Engineer - Navigation

**About the company:** Rapyuta Robotics Koto-ku, Tokyo Building low­ cost, lightweight autonomous mobile robots with high-level intelligence distributed in the cloud, and enabling such robots to offload some of their heavy computation and seamlessly learn and share experiences with one another. **Responsibilities:** Develop and maintain navigation stacks using ROS (Robot Operating System), including ROS Navigation Stack and custom solutions. Implement and optimize path planning algorithms such as Hybrid A* for dynamic environments. Containerize and manage development environments using Docker for scalable deployment. Collaborate with perception, localization and control teams to ensure seamless integration of navigation modules. Conduct simulation and real-world testing of navigation systems. Stay up-to-date with the latest research, tools, and trends in robotic navigation and actively propose new technologies and approaches. Document system architecture, design decisions, and performance evaluations. Requirements Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field. 5+ years of professional software development experience Solid experience with ROS and navigation stack development. Proficiency in path planning algorithms. Hands-on experience with ROS (Robot Operating System), Docker and CI/CD tools. Strong programming skills in C++ and Python. Hands-on with Linux-based development environments. Demonstrated ability to work independently and proactively explore new technologies. Nice to haves While not specifically required, tell us if you have any of the following. Experience with ROS2 and transitioning systems from ROS1 to ROS2. Knowledge in Perception and Computer Vision, including sensor fusion, object detection, SLAM, and AI. Familiarity with simulation and visualization tools. Experience working in agile development environments and using version control systems like Git. Experience with Behavior Tree APPLY FOR THIS POSITION DO YOU NEED MORE INFO? ASK A QUESTION Meet Rapyuta Robotics's Developers Moving the Needle with Commercial Robotics at Rapyuta with Jaiyam Sharma Jaiyam joined Rapyuta Robotics as a perception engineer, hoping to impact the future through developing products.
