We’re partnering with a cutting-edge robotics team within a large-scale manufacturing environment that is building and evolving a **next-generation robotics ecosystem** to support a diverse range of robotic systems.

The current platform is built on **ROS 2 and EtherCAT** , and the team is seeking a **Senior Robotics Architect** to take ownership of the system’s architecture and technical direction.

This is a highly impactful role where you will lead the evolution of a robotics control platform, drive performance improvements, and help scale a modern robotics ecosystem across multiple applications and form factors.

* * *

### What You’ll Do

- Lead the **architecture and technical direction** of a robotics control system built on ROS 2
- Own the platform’s **ongoing evolution** , including maintenance, optimization, and scalability
- Identify inefficiencies and implement **robust, scalable solutions**
- Design and deliver **new features and capabilities** within the robotics platform
- Serve as a **hands-on technical leader** , contributing to critical development efforts as needed
- Mentor and guide engineers on **design patterns, best practices, and technical execution**
- Collaborate with **global engineering teams** , including an international team (occasional off-hours overlap required)
- Support a **broad robotics ecosystem** across multiple robot types and use cases

* * *

### Required Qualifications

- Proven experience **architecting robotics control systems**
- Expert-level experience with **ROS 2**
- Strong software engineering foundation in robotics systems (C++ / Python typical)
- Experience maintaining and improving **existing production platforms**
- Experience designing or supporting **perception systems / physical AI** (e.g., computer vision, sensor fusion)
- Ability to lead technical decisions while remaining **hands-on**
- Experience mentoring or leading other engineers

* * *

### Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with **EtherCAT** or similar real-time communication protocols
- Experience supporting **diverse robotic systems** (e.g., AMRs, manipulators, drones, humanoids, quadrupeds)
- Background in **manufacturing, industrial automation, or advanced robotics**
- Experience working with **distributed or international engineering teams**

* * *

### Top Skills

1. Robotics system architecture
2. ROS 2 (deep, production-level experience)
3. Perception systems / physical AI

* * *

### Work Environment

- 100% remote within the United States
- ~15% travel for on-site collaboration and hardware integration
- Global team collaboration
- Opportunity to shape a **modern, production-grade robotics platform at scale**

* * *
