Robotics Software Engineer Jobs Bogotá

About the role

You will design, implement, and maintain robotics software components that run reliably in simulation and on hardware, spanning perception, state estimation, SLAM, planning, and controls.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain ROS/ROS2 nodes for perception, localization, mapping, planning, and control.
• Implement sensor drivers and time-synchronization pipelines for camera, LiDAR, radar, and IMU inputs.
• Develop and tune SLAM and state estimation (EKF/UKF) with sensor fusion and covariance handling.
• Improve motion planning (sampling-based and optimization-based) and trajectory tracking for dynamic environments.
• Create reproducible simulation scenarios in Gazebo/Ignition and help close the sim-to-real gap.
• Instrument, profile, and optimize latency, memory, and throughput for real-time constraints.
• Ship maintainable code with unit/integration tests, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Document interfaces, calibration assumptions, and operational runbooks for deployment and QA.

Requirements

• Mid-Senior experience building production robotics software in C++ and/or Python.
• Strong ROS/ROS2 development skills (messages, tf2, lifecycle nodes, launch, bagging).
• Hands-on understanding of kinematics, coordinate frames, transforms, and calibration workflows.
• Experience with at least one autonomy area: perception, SLAM, motion planning, or controls.
• Comfort working with Linux, Git, Docker, and automated testing practices.

Schedule

This role is categorized as Remote. Some projects may require occasional on-site robot testing depending on the team and scope.

Pay

Hourly pay range: $30–$50/hr (USD).
