Position Overview

A Robotics Engineer is sought to support the design, integration, testing, field deployment, and after-sales support of robotic and autonomous platforms. The role covers work across ground and aerial platforms, combining robotic hardware, control software, sensors, embedded controllers, imaging payloads, and field operations.

Key Responsibilities

The selected candidate will develop and integrate robotic hardware and control software for ground and aerial platforms, working with sensors, actuators, embedded controllers, and imaging payloads such as optical, thermal, and LIDAR systems.

The role includes writing, testing, and documenting control, autonomy, and data-processing code, as well as assembling, commissioning, and troubleshooting prototype and production systems.

Responsibilities also involve supporting field deployments, survey missions, and on-site commissioning at customer facilities, contributing to computer vision and sensor fusion pipelines, preparing technical documentation and test reports, providing input on feasibility studies and customer requirements, and supporting deployed systems after installation.

Requirements

Candidates should have a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering with a special interest in Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical, Electronic, or Mechanical Engineering, or be currently reading for an MSc or PhD in a related field.

Strong programming ability in Python and/or C++, understanding of control systems, kinematics, and sensor integration, and a practical hands-on approach to building and debugging real hardware are essential.

The ideal candidate should be able to read and work from datasheets, schematics, and technical documentation, communicate well in written and spoken English, and take a problem from specification to working system with limited supervision. Experience with ROS or ROS 2, embedded platforms, UAV or UGV systems, computer vision, SLAM, point-cloud processing, machine learning for perception, LIDAR or thermal sensor integration, industrial automation, or robotics project work will be considered an advantage.

What Is Offered

The successful candidate will benefit from a part-time onsite role in San Ġwann, with professional training and flexible working hours. The role also offers scope to specialise over time, with the balance of hardware, software, and field work shaped around the candidate’s strengths.

Career Opportunity

This position offers valuable experience in robotics, autonomous platforms, embedded systems, computer vision, sensor fusion, and field deployment, while providing opportunities to grow within a technical environment focused on practical robotic and autonomous solutions.
