ROS Engineer

Tech Stack: Core: ROS 1, ROS 2, C++, Python, Linux, DDS/QoS Robotics: Nav2, robot_localization, ros2_control, BehaviorTree.CPP, Sensor Fusion Vehicle & Hardware: GNSS, CAN, Steering & Braking Systems Tools: Foxglove Required Qualifications: Commercial experience with ROS 1 and ROS 2. Good C++ development skills. Good Python programming skills. Linux development experience. Experience with autonomous vehicles, robotics platforms, or UGV systems. Experience with navigation, localization, vehicle control, and system integration. Experience with DDS/QoS configuration and optimization. Nice to Have: Experience in using AI tools in day-to-day workflow Experience with ros_control / ros2_control, robot_localization, Nav2, and BehaviorTree.CPP. Experience with GNSS-based localization and Sensor Fusion. Experience integrating CAN-based vehicle interfaces. Familiarity with steering and braking systems. Familiarity with Fields2Cover. Experience using Foxglove or similar robotics debugging and visualization tools. Project Description: We are looking for experienced ROS Engineers to support the migration of an autonomous vehicle platform from ROS 1 to ROS 2. The platform operates as an autonomous UGV and integrates navigation, localization, vehicle control, GNSS, CAN-connected hardware, sensor systems, and higher-level autonomy capabilities. This is not a greenfield project. You will work with an existing production robotics platform, analysing ROS 1 architecture, identifying migration challenges and dependencies, and helping shape a maintainable, production-ready ROS 2 solution while preserving existing system behaviour. We are looking for a hands-on technical leader who can guide engineering decisions, support the delivery team, and collaborate closely with customer engineers throughout the migration process. Scope of Services: Support ROS 1 to ROS 2 migration activities for autonomous vehicle software. Analyse, refactor, and migrate existing ROS-based components written in C++ and Python. Migrate navigation, localization, autonomy, and vehicle control functionalities to ROS 2. Integrate and validate vehicle sensors, hardware interfaces, and control systems. Configure DDS/QoS communication and resolve performance, synchronization, and reliability issues. Perform integration, regression, simulation, and vehicle-level testing. Collaborate with customer engineering teams.
