The Robotics Software Engineer (Controls & Perception) joins the R&D Software team to develop software enabling laboratory automation systems to sense, interpret, and interact with the physical world. The role involves designing and implementing control, perception, and real-time software capabilities to drive precise robotic motion, liquid handling, and autonomous instrument operation across an automation platform. Key responsibilities include developing advanced control algorithms, creating real-time perception capabilities through sensor fusion and computer vision, and improving system reliability via embedded optimization and hardware-in-the-loop testing. The candidate will utilize C++, Python, and techniques such as Kalman filtering, model predictive control, SLAM, and CI/CD practices. This role addresses the technical challenge of creating autonomous laboratory operations by defining safe operating boundaries and ensuring robust performance for instruments used in life sciences, diagnostics, and biotechnology environments.
