Promise Robotics - Robotics Software Developer
Requirements
• Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or related fields (Masters/Ph.D. preferred). • Solid programming ability in C++ and/or Python. • Strong fundamentals in algorithms, data structures, and basic control concepts. • Ability to solve complex problems involving multi-disciplinary engineering concepts. • Hands-on experience with ROS or ROS 2 — through projects, internships, co-ops, or coursework. • Familiarity with at least one robotics simulator (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, PyBullet, or similar). • Exposure to computer vision or perception concepts. • Eagerness to learn, take feedback, and work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced startup. • Willingness to work onsite at our R&D labs and production facilities in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta. • An internship, co-op, competition team (e.g., robotics/autonomy), or a portfolio of robotics projects. • Experience with MoveIt2 or another motion-planning framework. • Familiarity with Isaac Sim / Omniverse or similar simulation tools. • Coursework, research, or side projects involving VLA models, LLMs, or machine learning for robotics. • Any exposure to industrial robots (KUKA, ABB, Fanuc) or sensor systems (cameras, depth sensors, force sensors, LiDAR). • DevOps basics — Docker, Git, CI/CD.
Responsibilities
• Build and maintain simulation scenes — set up and extend simulation environments and test scenarios that mirror our production cells. • Implement motion routines — develop and tune motion-planning and collision-checking behaviors in ROS 2 / MoveIt2 under the guidance of senior engineers. • Develop perception components — implement object detection, pose estimation, and point-cloud processing tasks for material handling and inspection. • Write clean, tested code — produce well-documented C++ and Python, backed by unit and integration tests. • Debug integration issues — help troubleshoot software–hardware issues alongside the robotics and hardware teams. • Participate in the team's practices — contribute to code reviews, agile ceremonies, and CI pipelines.
