Senior Robotics Software Engineer (ROS2 / Sim / Python)

Location: Warsaw (Hybrid - 5 days in the office / month)

Salary: 26,000 - 32,000 PLN gross (Employment Contract) + Equity

Contract Type: Employment Contract (eligible for 75% tax-deductible costs / AKUP)

🚀 Our Client

For our Client - a fast-growing deep-tech startup backed by top VC funds - we are looking for a hybrid engineer who bridges the gap between high-level software and physical hardware.

The company is in the best position globally to solve the "Physical AI deployment gap" - currently the hottest topic in Artificial Intelligence. They build intelligent robots that are already operating at scale, and they are looking for someone to help "teach" these robots to understand the real world.

The engineering team consists of veterans from Google, Nvidia, ByteDance, and top robotics companies. The organization values a culture of ownership, offering freedom to build amazing things without micro-management.

🎯 Your Role in the Team

As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer, you will face hard technical problems right from the start. Key challenges for the first 3 months include migrating the technology stack to ROS2 and introducing "Digital Twins" in Nvidia IsaacSim.

You will:

• Core Robotics Development: Design and implement modular control systems. The team needs robust code, not just high-level GUI configurations.

• Simulation & Digital Twins: Work with Nvidia IsaacSim / Omniverse to create accurate simulations that speed up deployment.

• ROS2 Migration: Lead the architectural shift to ROS2 to ensure the robots are future-proof.

• Handle Reality: Develop heuristics to handle physical interactions and detect anomalies (e.g., verifying if a robot picked the correct item).

• Mentoring: Share your software and design experience with the team, promoting leadership and technical excellence.

What We Expect ✅

The ideal candidate combines strong Core Software Skills with a genuine passion for Robotics.

• Software Engineering Core: Strong proficiency in Python or C++ and Cloud technologies.

• Robotics Stack: Experience with ROS / ROS2 and simulation tools like Gazebo, Nvidia IsaacSim, or Nvidia Omniverse.

• Engineering Background: Candidates with a background in student robotics projects or similar R&D initiatives are highly valued.

• The Right Mindset: If you have prior experience with robotics technologies but later worked as a "standard" software engineer, you are a perfect fit!

• Language: Fluent English.

Note: The client is NOT looking for specialists experienced only in programming industrial robots via high-level GUIs.

What We Offer 🎁

• Top Compensation: 26k-32k PLN gross + 75% Tax-Deductible Costs (AKUP).

• Equity: Significant equity package – you become a co-owner of the company.

• Real Impact: You will see your code powering robots in production environments, solving problems no one has solved before.

• Best Team: Work with and learn from engineers who built Google Warsaw, unicorn startups (Climate Corp), and tested rocket engines.

• Freedom & Responsibility: Flexible working hours and a hybrid model (partly remote work possible). The company trusts its engineers to do their job effectively.
