Join our vital mission to create lasting solutions for our planet’s greatest challenges. In this role, you are ready to shape the future of clean energy and make a long-lasting global impact. With us, anticipate engaging and challenging projects that deliver innovative solutions and value-added technologies helping power more than 38 million North American homes.\nIn this role you will build and test autonomy and perception features to enhance teleoperated mobile robots for non-destructive inspection. The role blends hands-on software development with system integration while working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams. You’ll own meaningful subsystems early on and gradually influence how future robots are designed, tested, and deployed.\nFor more on Framatome robotic solutions, visit https://www.framatome.com/solutions-portfolio/basket/robotics-for-safer-smarter-nuclear-inspection-and-maintenance-2/\nWhat You’ll Do Day-To-Day\nIndependently design, debug, test, and review robotics systems, including hardware-in-the-loop and sim-to-real environments.\nBuild, configure, and integrate subsystems responsible for sensor fusion, perception, and remote autonomous deployment.\n\nPrototype and mature robot localization and state estimation, including visual-inertial odometry and SLAM.\n\nDevelop and tune trajectory planning solutions for mobile robots, leveraging cost maps, planners, and behavior trees.\n\nDiagnose and resolve issues related to sensor integration, timing, frame inconsistencies, and system failures.\n\nAs you grow in the role, assume ownership of a specific application, including operational and strategic leadership, creating and defending system design, and technical leadership at the interface with internal and external partners.\n\nAs you grow in your role, teach and provide guidance to less experienced software engineers.\n\nWhat You'll Bring\nBachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field. Equivalent work experience may be considered in lieu of degree. \nMinimum of 2 years of related experience. \nHands-on experience developing and deploying robotics software on Windows and Linux, using Git, package management, logging, profiling, and containerized deployment. Experience with ROS2 is strongly preferred, although not required.\nDirect experience in mobile robotics and one or more of: robotic vision, state estimation and localization, sensor fusion. Other mechanical and electrical engineering experience, as relevant for robotics, is welcome, but not required.\nExcellent communication skills with ability to work effectively with all levels of staff and management.\nAbility to develop and maintain good interpersonal relationships; work collaboratively within a team environment.\nAptitude to change priorities quickly, confront issues directly and work well as part of a team. \nTotal Rewards Package\nSalary: $77,000- $100,000, and may also include annual incentives and performance bonuses. The base salary range is a guideline. Individual total compensation will vary based on factors such as qualifications, skill level, competencies and work location.\n Health & Wellness: Multiple medical plan options, dental & vision coverage, life insurance, long- and short-term disability, and optional supplemental plans (critical illness, accident, hospital indemnity, dependent life).\n Retirement: 401(k) with employer match.\nPaid Time Off: Up to 3 weeks of vacation, 8 sick days, and 13 paid holidays annually.\nExtra Perks: Lifestyle spending account, employer paid mental health support, education reimbursement, professional development opportunities, adoption assistance, parental leave, and employee assistance programs.\nAbout Framatome\nFramatome has been shaping the future of nuclear energy in the U.S. for more than 60 years. Framatome Inc. is headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia, with more than 2,400+ employees across North America supporting nearly every nuclear plant in the nation.\nFrom our facilities in Virginia, Washington, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and beyond, we deliver outage services, advanced nuclear fuel technologies, and next-gen reactor innovations that keep the lights on.\nAt Framatome, you will join a global team committed to creating reliable, carbon-free energy. Here, you can:\nSolve complex nuclear challenges that directly impact the climate.\nBuild your career through technical fellowships, leadership roles, and global opportunities.\n Do your best work in a culture that values safety, innovation, and well-being.\nFramatome is an Equal Opportunity Employer, including Veterans, and Individuals with Disabilities.\nOffers are contingent on background check and drug screen (where applicable).
