Full Job Description

An innovative robotics company is seeking a Senior Robotics Engineer - Motion Planning to join their team in Woburn, MA. This is a full-time opportunity with a company reinventing automotive service through cutting-edge robotics. The company is developing automated tire changing and wheel balancing technology that combines advanced robotics, multi-axis motion systems, perception, and intelligent software to transform a process that has remained largely unchanged for decades.

This is a high-ownership opportunity for a robotics engineer who wants to be a primary technical driver for motion planning and control on a completely unique robotic platform. You’ll work directly with custom multi-axis hardware, solving challenging problems involving motion planning, collision avoidance, kinematics, trajectory optimization, and real-world robotic execution. As part of a small, highly capable team, you’ll have significant influence over technical direction, direct access to hardware, and the opportunity to take sophisticated robotics technology from prototype through real-world deployment. If you enjoy hands-on engineering, working close to the robot, and solving problems that don’t have an existing playbook, this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a category-defining technology.

Required Skills & Experience

Deep expertise in robotic motion planning algorithms, including sampling-based methods such as RRT and RRT*, probabilistic roadmaps (PRM), and trajectory optimization techniques such as CHOMP, STOMP, or TrajOpt

2+ years of hands-on experience with ROS 2 and MoveIt/MoveIt 2 in production or near-production robotic systems

Strong understanding of robot kinematics, including forward and inverse kinematics for serial and parallel manipulators

Hands-on experience with kinematic solvers such as KDL, TRAC-IK, or equivalent

Strong understanding of collision avoidance, occupancy representations, voxel grids, OctoMap, and safety-aware motion planning

Experience configuring and adapting URDF/SRDF models, planning scenes, planner interfaces, joint groups, and motion profiles

Strong proficiency in C++ and/or Python within the ROS 2 ecosystem

Understanding of real-time performance considerations, memory management, software architecture, and robotics software design patterns

Proven ability to diagnose complex hardware/software integration issues, from high-level trajectory failures to low-level actuator constraints

Experience developing production-grade robotic systems capable of reliable, fast motion planning under real-world constraints

Experience working with dynamic obstacles, tight tolerances, and complex collision environments

Experience with robotic simulation environments for development, testing, and validation

Strong software engineering fundamentals, including writing clean, maintainable, well-tested code and documenting technical designs

Desired Skills & Experience

BS, MS, or PhD in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field

Experience with the Pilz Industrial Motion Planner, OMPL, CHOMP, STOMP, or other industrial motion planning frameworks

Background in automotive service equipment, industrial automation, manufacturing systems, or complex mechatronic platforms

Experience with real-time trajectory execution and hardware-in-the-loop testing

Experience with safety-rated motion control, safety interlocks, or other robotic safety systems

Full-stack robotics experience spanning motor control, drive systems, hardware abstraction layers (HAL), and low-level firmware interfaces

Experience integrating perception systems into reactive or perception-driven motion planning

Familiarity with LiDAR, depth cameras, IMUs, point clouds, PCL, Open3D, SLAM, or object detection

Experience deploying and debugging robotic systems in the field

Experience working with multi-manipulator or multi-axis robotic systems operating in confined or highly constrained environments

Experience optimizing robotic systems for fast, repeatable, production-ready operation

What You Will Be Doing Tech Breakdown

30% Motion Planning & Trajectory Optimization - Develop collision-aware motion planning using OMPL, RRT/RRT-Connect/PRM, Pilz, CHOMP, STOMP, TrajOpt, and other planning approaches

20% ROS 2 & MoveIt Development - Build and maintain ROS 2 nodes, MoveIt/MoveIt 2 configurations, planning scenes, URDF/SRDF models, planner interfaces, joint groups, and trajectory execution systems

20% Robotics Software & Controls - Develop software for actuator state feedback, joint state publishing, trajectory execution, motion control, and hardware interfaces

15% Kinematics, Collision Avoidance & Safety - Define kinematic constraints, velocity/acceleration limits, collision models, safety interlocks, and joint-specific motion profiles

15% Simulation, Testing & Field Deployment - Validate robotic behaviors in simulation, perform hardware-in-the-loop testing, debug production hardware, and optimize motion performance during field deployments

Daily Responsibilities

50% Hands-On Engineering - Write and review C++/Python code, develop motion planning algorithms, tune planners, debug trajectories, and optimize robotic performance

20% Hardware & Systems Integration - Work directly with robotic hardware, actuators, drives, sensors, and low-level interfaces to ensure reliable motion execution

15% Testing & Validation - Build simulation and validation workflows, test collision avoidance and trajectory execution, and ensure motion planning meets production requirements

15% Team Collaboration - Partner with perception, systems, hardware, firmware, and software engineers to define requirements, troubleshoot integration issues, and establish technical direction
