Robotics System Integration Engineer (m/f/d)

Role Overview

Key Responsibilities

• Integrate and validate system modules across the robotics stack, including sensor interfaces, vehicle interfaces, localization inputs, diagnostics, logging, mission execution, communication systems, and safety-related components.
• Develop and validate sensor drivers and vehicle interfaces for Ethernet, CAN, serial, and other communication-based devices.
• Support system bring-up activities such as software deployment, launch configuration, parameter setup, network configuration, hardware–software integration, and readiness checks.
• Verify software versions, configuration packages, calibration data, launch files, runtime parameters, and release builds prior to testing or field operation.
• Utilize ROS2 or similar middleware to validate topics, services, actions, parameters, coordinate frames (TF), diagnostics, lifecycle states, and inter-module communication.
• Assist with sensor calibration, frame validation, timestamp verification, parameter tuning, and data quality assessment.
• Maintain containerized environments using tools such as Docker for development and deployment.
• Support build pipelines, release validation, software packaging, configuration management, and automated deployment processes.
• Conduct integration testing, regression testing, benchmarking, and troubleshooting across sensors, communication links, vehicle interfaces, compute platforms, and software modules.
• Analyze system logs, ROS bag data, topic streams, CAN traces, network traffic, diagnostics, and runtime errors to identify integration issues and perform root-cause analysis.
• Troubleshoot compatibility issues between hardware and software components, including sensors, onboard computers, vehicle interfaces, and communication devices.
• Support field testing by preparing systems, monitoring performance, documenting issues, and coordinating resolution efforts.

Required Skills

• Strong Linux experience, including troubleshooting, system configuration, networking, logging, and deployment.
• Proficiency in C++ and/or Python for debugging, modifying, and validating integration-level software.
• Hands-on experience with ROS2 or similar middleware, including nodes, topics, services, parameters, launch files, diagnostics, and logging.
• Experience integrating robotic sensors such as LiDAR, cameras, GNSS, IMU, radar, or similar systems.
• Practical experience with hardware–software integration across sensors, compute platforms, communication devices, and control systems.
• Familiarity with Ethernet, CAN, serial communication, and network-based device integration.
• Understanding of timing and synchronization concepts such as PTP, NTP, timestamps, sensor alignment, and latency.
• Experience with containerized environments (e.g., Docker), build pipelines, and automated deployment.
• Ability to analyze logs, ROS data, CAN traces, and network activity to diagnose system issues.
• Strong testing and troubleshooting skills, including integration testing, regression testing, benchmarking, and root-cause analysis.

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with autonomy components such as localization, perception, planning, control, mission execution, diagnostics, and safety monitoring.
• Experience with autonomous vehicles, mobile robots, field robotics, or off-road platforms.
• Exposure to simulation-based validation, HIL/SIL testing, automated regression testing, or benchmarking frameworks.
• Experience supporting field trials, deployments, commissioning, acceptance testing, or operational readiness activities.
• Ability to produce technical documentation such as integration guides, troubleshooting procedures, commissioning checklists, and test reports.
