The posting

We are seeking a full-time Senior Robotics Software Engineer to enhance the performance and efficiency of our robot control stack—integrating advanced perception systems and adaptive decision-making algorithms—to empower industrial robotic arms with the autonomy required for diverse, high-precision pick-and-place applications. You will lead the motion planning and control systems development at OSARO, optimizing our software architecture and code to deliver deterministic, real-time performance. In this role, you will collaborate closely with teams across Hardware, Infrastructure, and Machine Learning to integrate robust, production-grade solutions into our customers’ complex software environments.

This role is ideal for candidates who are passionate about engineering solutions that bridge advanced robotics and real-time control, take full ownership of their work, and thrive in a challenging, collaborative environment.

This role involves travel to customer sites, travel time can range from 35% (10.5 weeks on average a year).

What You'll Be Doing

  • Direct the development of motion planning and control systems for industrial robotic arms, with a focus on high-precision, pick-and-place operations.
  • Design and implement robust software interfaces with industrial robotic arms to achieve deterministic, real-time performance.
  • Lead technical design discussions and code reviews with an emphasis on real-time performance, and system robustness.
  • Collaborate with robotics and controls engineers to design, implement, and validate advanced control algorithms.
  • Create reliable, production-grade code aimed at near-term deployment, with a focus on performance, robustness, and scalability.
  • Research and develop cutting-edge control strategies to continually improve the performance, robustness, and versatility of our robotic systems.
  • Traveling to customer sites to manage software deployments.

Experience and Skills You'll Need

  • BS in Computer Science, Robotics, or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in robotic control development, including experience with:
  • Developing and tuning control frameworks for robotic applications.
  • Trajectory optimization, kinematics, and motion planning for multi-axis robots.
  • Expertise in Rust or C++ with a proven ability in software design, architecture, and developing complex, real-time, multi-process systems.
  • Hands-on experience with industrial robotic arms, including direct development with low-level hardware controllers.
  • In-depth knowledge of robotic system design, integration, debugging, verification, and testing, particularly for industrial robotic manipulators operating in demanding, real-time environments.
  • Background working with robotic sensors (e.g., cameras, force sensors, grippers) involving sensor integration, calibration, or real-time data processing.

Bonus if you have

  • MS or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Robotics, or related field.
  • Experience implementing algorithms for generating collision-free, time-optimal trajectories for robotic manipulators.
  • Experience working in an Agile development environment.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
