Robotics Engineer

Job Title: Robotics Deployment Engineer

This role focuses on commissioning AGVs, tuning navigation and control systems based on environmental conditions, and ensuring reliable autonomous performance in agricultural and industrial settings. The ideal candidate has strong hands-on experience with ArduPilot/ArduRover or PX4 and understands AGV system architecture end-to-end.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. AGV Deployment & Commissioning

Deploy and commission AGV rovers at customer sites.

Configure autopilot systems (ArduPilot / ArduRover / PX4).

Perform system calibration, validation, and field acceptance testing.

Ensure stable, safe autonomous operations before the project handover.

2. System Tuning & Optimisation

Tune PID controllers for steering, throttle, braking, and skid-steer systems.

Optimise navigation parameters based on terrain, slope, traction, and mission type.

Configure and validate RTK-GNSS systems for high-precision positioning.

Adjust sensor fusion settings to improve localisation accuracy and reliability.

3. Navigation & Sensor Integration

Integrate and calibrate key sensors including IMUs, RTK GNSS modules, LiDAR / Radar systems,

Wheel encoders and odometry sensors

Diagnose and resolve communication issues (CAN, UART, I2C, SPI).

Validate obstacle avoidance and path-following performance.

4. System Architecture Understanding

Maintain strong understanding of AGV system architecture: Autopilot stack (ArduPilot /

ArduRover / PX4), Companion computer integration, Telemetry systems & Power management

systems

Work closely with the Product Development Team to improve deployment standards and field

robustness.

Provide structured field feedback for continuous system improvement.

5. Field Support & Demonstration

Conduct system demonstrations and validation tests.

Provide technical support during deployment phases.

Troubleshoot and resolve field-level operational issues
