Robotics Software Developer

Why join us?

• Purpose-Driven Work: Contribute to projects with significant social, economic, and environmental impact.
• Growth Opportunities: Be part of a growth-stage startup with substantial upside and leadership potential.
• Cutting-Edge Technology: Work on state-of-the-art robotics solutions at the intersection of construction and automation.
• Collaborative Culture: Join a diverse, high-performing team committed to continuous learning and innovation.

What you'll do:

• Build and maintain simulation scenes — set up and extend simulation environments and test scenarios that mirror our production cells.
• Implement motion routines — develop and tune motion-planning and collision-checking behaviors in ROS 2 / MoveIt2 under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Develop perception components — implement object detection, pose estimation, and point-cloud processing tasks for material handling and inspection.
• Write clean, tested code — produce well-documented C++ and Python, backed by unit and integration tests.
• Debug integration issues — help troubleshoot software–hardware issues alongside the robotics and hardware teams.
• Participate in the team's practices — contribute to code reviews, agile ceremonies, and CI pipelines.

What you'll need to succeed:

• Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or related fields (Masters/Ph.D. preferred).
• Solid programming ability in C++ and/or Python.
• Strong fundamentals in algorithms, data structures, and basic control concepts.
• Ability to solve complex problems involving multi-disciplinary engineering concepts.
• Hands-on experience with ROS or ROS 2 — through projects, internships, co-ops, or coursework.
• Familiarity with at least one robotics simulator (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, PyBullet, or similar).
• Exposure to computer vision or perception concepts.
• Eagerness to learn, take feedback, and work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced startup.
• Willingness to work onsite at our R&D labs and production facilities in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta.

Preferred Skills:

• An internship, co-op, competition team (e.g., robotics/autonomy), or a portfolio of robotics projects.
• Experience with MoveIt2 or another motion-planning framework.
• Familiarity with Isaac Sim / Omniverse or similar simulation tools.
• Coursework, research, or side projects involving VLA models, LLMs, or machine learning for robotics.
• Any exposure to industrial robots (KUKA, ABB, Fanuc) or sensor systems (cameras, depth sensors, force sensors, LiDAR).
• DevOps basics — Docker, Git, CI/CD.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary: we believe in data-driven, equitable compensation decisions. We recently completed a compensation review and implemented salary bands that enable us to pay mid to above-average Canadian salaries across various industries.
• Stock options: everyone has a stake in our company.
• Holistic benefits: we have a comprehensive benefits package that includes paramedical, dental, vision, and drug coverage for you and your dependents, as well as a health care spending account. These benefits start right from Day 1.
• Flexible personal days and vacation policies: we care deeply about the well-being of our team.
• Open, collaborative, and supportive culture: you will be part of an incredibly high-performing and collaborative team changing the future of an industry!
• Relocation assistance package (if required)
