[Paid Contract] Robotics Engineer - Household Manipulation Prototype - Hamilton, Canada / Hybrid

Jobs

1

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a robotics engineer for a paid 4–6 week prototype project based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

The immediate goal is deliberately narrow: build a household manipulation prototype using an off the shelf robotic arm, cameras, and teleoperation to reliably move a standardized plate, bowl, and cup from fixed starting locations into predetermined dishwasher-rack locations.

The initial work would include:

  • selecting/recommending an appropriate off the shelf arm

  • arm bring up and control

  • camera integration

  • teleoperation

  • demonstration-data collection

  • reliable pick-and-place manipulation

  • documentation

  • establishing a path toward imitation learning / partial autonomy

Relevant experience could include:

  • ROS / ROS2

  • MoveIt

  • Python / C++

  • robotic manipulation

  • arm integration

  • RGB/RGB-D vision

  • teleoperation

  • LeRobot

  • Isaac

  • ACT / diffusion policies / imitation learning

I’m particularly interested in people who have personally built or integrated physical robotic systems.

Project structure: paid, milestone-based contract
Budget: approximately C$3,000–5,000
Duration: approximately 4–6 weeks
Location: Hamilton / Southern Ontario preferred, but hybrid or partly remote may be possible depending on the candidate.

If interested, please send me:

  1. A short introduction

  2. Examples/videos/GitHub of physical robotics projects you personally worked on

  3. What part you personally owned

  4. Availability over the next 6 weeks

  5. Your initial thoughts on hardware/software architecture for this prototype

There may be a larger founding engineering opportunity later if the fit is exceptional, but the immediate opportunity is simply a paid prototype sprint.

Thanks,
Jacob

Hi Jacob, I’m interested in this contract and have several years of robotics/autonomy experience with ROS/ROS2, C++/Python, simulation, planning, and controls. I’m currently based in Montreal and available part-time over the next six weeks. What’s the best way to send you the requested details privately?

Hi, Jacob ,
I’m very interested in this prototype project. I’m a robotics engineer working mainly with ROS2, C++/Python, MoveIt2, manipulation, perception and robot integration.
i want to work remotely . what is the best ? i want to send you details privately , how should i process?
