Lead Robotics Software Engineer
First seen by Alion on Nov 9, 2026.
Project responsibility
Technical Lead for KODER and the Marentis robotics track
Reporting line
CTO, with product and commercial priorities agreed with the product owner and CEO
Mission
Deliver a reproducible workflow from industrial evidence and task descriptions to validated robot program proposals, then coordinate the integration needed for controlled real robot trials and later productisation.
The role should own integration architecture, interface contracts, technical dependencies, demonstration quality, benchmark design and the transfer of research outputs into maintainable Marentis software. It needs enough practical robotics depth to challenge unrealistic controller, sensing and simulation assumptions.
Essential experience
- Deploying software on industrial robot cells and working with a manufacturer specific controller environment.
- Robot kinematics, coordinate frames, calibration, motion planning and sensor integration.
- Strong software engineering, preferably Python and C++, with versioned APIs, testing and release practices.
- Simulation and physical validation, including failure analysis and timing measurements.
- Technical leadership across research, product and partner teams.
Useful additional experience includes force controlled assembly, ROS 2, URDF, applied language models, retrieval systems, model deployment on industrial computers and commissioning in manufacturing environments. A doctorate should not substitute for demonstrated integration work, and need not be mandatory.
