We are seeking a skilled robotics engineer to deploy autonomous systems onto existing terminal tractors and support on-site testing, validation, and service engineering. This is not a research role but focuses on implementing and integrating existing autonomous vehicle software, ensuring seamless operation in real-world environments. The ideal candidate will also assist with vehicle recovery and sensor calibration tasks.

• System Deployment:

  • Deploy and integrate autonomous vehicle software onto existing terminal tractors, ensuring compatibility with vehicle hardware.

  • Configure and optimize software for real-time operation, focusing on reliability and performance in logistics environments.

  • Integrate sensors (LIDAR, cameras, radar) and communication systems (e.g., CAN, Ethernet) with existing vehicle platforms.

  • Perform minor software modifications or updates to meet deployment requirements.

• Testing and Validation:

  • Conduct on-site testing and validation of autonomous systems to ensure functionality, safety, and performance in terminal operations.

  • Develop and execute test plans to verify system integration with existing vehicles.

  • Analyze test data, troubleshoot issues, and implement fixes to ensure robust system performance.

• Service Engineering Support:

  • Assist with vehicle recovery operations, ensuring safe and efficient return to base during operational issues.

  • Perform calibration and maintenance of LIDAR, cameras, and other sensors to maintain optimal performance.

  • Troubleshoot hardware and software issues on-site, collaborating with operations and engineering teams to resolve challenges.

• Collaboration and Documentation:

  • Work closely with hardware engineers and operations teams to ensure seamless system integration and deployment.

  • Document deployment processes, test results, and service procedures to support scalability and compliance.

  • Participate in team discussions to improve system deployment and operational efficien

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.

• Experience:

  • 2+ years of experience in software development or system deployment, ideally in robotics, autonomous systems, or automotive industries.

  • Hands-on experience with C++, Python, or ROS for deploying software in real-time systems.

  • Familiarity with sensor integration (LIDAR, cameras, radar) and vehicle communication protocols (e.g., CAN, Ethernet).

  • Experience in testing and validation of integrated systems, preferably in automotive or logistics environments.

• Technical Skills:

  • Proficiency in software deployment tools (e.g., Git, Docker, Linux).

  • Basic knowledge of hardware troubleshooting and sensor calibration.

  • Understanding of vehicle system integration and embedded systems.

• Soft Skills:

  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to adapt in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.

  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills to collaborate across disciplines.

  • Comfortable with on-site work, including vehicle recovery and maintenance tasks.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience deploying autonomous systems or automation solutions in logistics or automotive industries.

• Familiarity with railroad or terminal operations.

• Prior experience in field operations or on-site technical support.
