About the Role :

We are looking for a highly skilled Lead Robotics Engineer with deep expertise in 2D/3D SLAM, VSLAM, LiDAR-based mapping, and multi-sensor fusion to drive the perception stack of our humanoid robots.

The candidate will play a key role in designing, implementing, and optimizing real-time mapping and localization pipelines across industrial and social humanoid platforms.

Key Responsibilities :

- Lead the development and deployment of real-time 2D/3D SLAM solutions for indoor and outdoor navigation.

- Build and optimize multi-sensor fusion using 3D/4D LiDAR, Intel RealSense, IMU, wheel odometry, and RGB-D cameras.

- Implement VSLAM pipelines and integrate them into the organizations perception framework.

- Own and maintain navigation, localization, and mapping modules in ROS2.

- Work closely with motion planning, controls, and AI teams to enable fully autonomous behaviors.

- Develop clean and maintainable code using C++ & Python following best robotics software practices.

- Lead a small team of robotics engineers and ensure timely project delivery.

- Benchmark and improve robustness for complex dynamic environments.

- Support real-world deployments, field testing, tuning, and performance improvements.

Required Skills & Expertise :

- Strong hands-on experience with 2D & 3D SLAM algorithms (Cartographer, ORB-SLAM, LOAM, RTAB-Map, etc.

- Expertise in LiDAR-based mapping and point cloud processing (PCL, Open3D, etc.

- Practical experience working with 3D/4D LiDARs and Intel RealSense camera family.

- High-performance robotics software development using C++ and Python.

- Proficiency with ROS2 (Nav2, TF2, RMW, DDS, middleware).

- Deep understanding of sensor calibration, extrinsics, odometry, and transforms.

- Experience with real-time embedded Linux systems and GPU-accelerated pipelines.

- Familiarity with Docker, CI/CD pipelines and Git is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications :

- Masters/PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechatronics, or related field.

- Experience working with humanoid robots or mobile manipulators.

- Publications / open-source contributions in perception / SLAM communities.

- Experience with deep learningbased perception frameworks (nice to have).

What We Offer :

- Opportunity to shape the future of Indias first humanoid product line.

- Work on cutting-edge hardwaresoftware fusion challenges.

- High-ownership, innovation-driven culture.

- Competitive salary, ESOP options & growth path into leadership roles.
