Senior ROS 2 Robotics Engineer in Hamilton

Hamilton, ON · Canada Full Time $65,000–75,000 / year Autonomy team

You will lead development of ROZOR's ROS 2 robotics platform, the core software that lets our robots perceive, navigate, coordinate, and operate autonomously in real-world clinical and public environments.

Responsibilities

• Architect, develop, and maintain ROS 2-based software for autonomous robots.
• Lead integration of LiDAR, camera, and IMU sensors into ROS 2 frameworks.
• Build and optimize navigation, mapping, and robot behavior nodes.
• Enhance reliability, performance, and real-time responsiveness of ROS 2 components.
• Lead code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and set best practices for robotic software development.
• Deploy and test systems on real robots in hospitals, buildings, and industrial environments.
• Collaborate with hardware, autonomy, and cloud teams to deliver end-to-end robotics capabilities.
• Implement robust communication, lifecycle management, and modular, scalable ROS 2 packages.
• Contribute to robot fleet orchestration and multi-robot coordination features.

What you bring

• Bachelor's/Master's in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechatronics, or related field.
• 4+ years experience building robotics software (preferably AMRs or service robots).
• Deep expertise with ROS 2 (rclcpp, lifecycle nodes, DDS, middleware performance tuning).
• Strong skills in C++ (preferred) and Python.
• Experience integrating and calibrating sensors (LiDAR, depth cameras, IMUs).
• Hands-on development with navigation, SLAM, or sensor fusion.
• Solid understanding of kinematics, motion control, and real-time systems.
• Strong debugging and system architecture skills.
