Senior Developer Robotics

Your mission

Aisle 14 looks exactly like aisle 15. Both changed overnight because someone moved four pallets at 3am.

Our robots have to handle that: know where they are, decide where to go, and keep moving a tonne of freight past human beings and dynamic obstacles without drama. The robot doesn't get to decide people are the problem. It has to work around them, every time. On someone else's hardware, in someone else's building, on a Monday morning.

You're not just building another algorithm. You're accountable for whether the robot copes with reality.

Your profile

Who you are

Those are the basics. Equally important is what you bring as a person:

• Keen to work closely with the people around you? We got you.
• A requirement doesn't add up, and you'd rather ask now than build it twice? Yes please.
• Making the people around you better counts as part of your job? That's half the role.
• Being the go-to person doesn't scare you? We see you.
• Ambitious goals, and colleagues who are genuinely good at this? That's the deal.
• We're looking for someone who drives themselves and keeps learning, not someone who waits to be pointed at a ticket.

Side quest

Same aisle, 100 runs a day, six months. Run 101: the robot's localization is off by 3 m, and it is very confident about it. Nothing in the software changed.

How would you find out what happened? Walk us through your approach, in the order you'd work.

Half a page. Bullets fine. No right answer, we want the reasoning. And if localization happens to be your deep end, feel free to go further than half a page.

Send it instead of a cover letter ("work sample upload") additionally to your CV. A good answer gets you a conversation, fast.
