Lead Robotics Engineer
You might be our missing piece if you have:
- A degree in Electronics, Mechatronics, Robotics, Applied Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
- 4+ years of experience in AI, robotics design, control, or mechatronics.
- Strong programming skills in Python (preferred), ROS, and C++.
- Deep knowledge of control systems, Robot Operating Systems, and motion planning frameworks (MoveIt, OMPL).
- Hands-on experience with electronic prototyping (PCB, microcontrollers) and CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360).
- Expertise in embedded systems (RTOS, Linux) and real-time system design.
- Proficiency in robotic simulation platforms (Isaac Sim, Gazebo, ROS).
- Strong experience with robotic hardware testing, integrated systems debugging, and real-time feedback pipelines.
- Knowledge of visualization and UI tools such as RViz, plotting libraries, and web dashboards.
- Experience with ML/AI training pipelines and their integration into robotic systems.
- Analytical mindset, attention to detail, and creative problem-solving skills.
- Passion for robotics, rapid prototyping, and technical innovation.
We would be thrilled if you have:
- Experience in designing and deploying AI-powered robotic skill learning, including teleoperation tasks, VLA training, and autonomous behaviors.
- A proven track record of integrating sensors (LiDAR, cameras, IMU, force-torque) and actuators into robotic systems.
- Hands-on experience in developing and deploying control algorithms (PID, adaptive control, predictive control, SLAM, navigation).
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines for robotics and continuous validation processes.
- Exposure to state-of-the-art robotics research and a knack for translating theory into scalable, production-ready systems.
- Strong documentation skills for technical specifications, user manuals, and maintenance guides.
- The ability to bridge mechanics, electronics, kinematics, perception, AI, and software into cohesive robotic solutions.
We will be working together on:
- Consulting with clients and offering them the best solutions
- Leading the design, prototyping, and implementation of robotic solutions (hardware, firmware, software), with hands-on involvement.
- Developing and deploying robust robotic control systems, from algorithm design to real-time execution.
- Designing and optimizing AI-powered robotic skill training and learning pipelines.
- Creating integrated robotics solutions that merge hardware and AI into autonomous, scalable systems.
- Driving experimentation with state-of-the-art hardware and showcasing innovative prototypes.
- Accelerating the adoption of collaborative and autonomous robotics within the industry.
- Preparing and maintaining high-quality technical documentation and user/maintenance manuals.
- Staying ahead of emerging robotics and AI trends, continuously pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

About RebelDot
At RebelDot we enable organizations in more than 15 industries to make an asset out of custom software. From consulting to web or mobile apps, UX-UI design and QA, we help our clients achieve more through technology. Our goal is to make software development effective and hassle-free for small and medium enterprises.
Helping our clients get the most value for their investment in technology is what drives us. Increasingly, this means working with them as a full technical partner, starting with an initial consulting stage where we understand their needs and propose the optimal approach – or, “the line”, as we call it. Because of our ‘rebel’ approach to software development, oftentimes, our solutions are very different from our peers as we stand out through innovation. From there on out, we partner up and lead the line for our clients.
