As a Robotics System Integration Engineer at DeepX, you will design and develop robotics applications and ensure the seamless integration, reliability, and scalability of our software and hardware components, directly enhancing the robustness and field-readiness of our autonomous solutions for heavy machinery.
This role offers unique opportunities for hands-on testing and validation in real-world operational environments – Genba (現場), where a strong focus on safety-oriented development and adherence to strict safety protocols is paramount.
Responsibilities
- Development, optimization, and maintenance of ROS2 based APIs and nodes.
- Integration of software modules including but not limited to, computer vision and control with hardware components.
- Develop and maintain drivers for first and third-party hardware.
- Design, implement, and maintain active monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to ensure high availability and rapid incident response across production and development environments.
- Conduct real-world validation of developed features through field deployments and comprehensive hardware testing.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Robotics, or a closely related engineering field.
- Strong foundation in software development, including practical experience with version control systems like Git.
- Proficiency in C++ and Python, demonstrated through experience working with complex codebases.
- Experience developing in a Linux environment.
- Hands-on experience with robotics frameworks such as ROS or ROS2.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to proactively engage with various stakeholders.
- Proven ability to manage tasks effectively, translating business needs into clear, actionable development steps.
