AI Summary
Build the robotics substrate adapter alongside a lighthouse ROS team. This is the test of whether the core generalizes to a substrate outside our existing expertise, so scope is tight and outcome-driven.
This is a scoped, deliverable-based contract with a path to a full-time role.
Location: Remote (4h overlap with Pacific or IST; Seattle or Bengaluru on-site preferred). Contract.
The bar
• 10+ years of relevant engineering experience.
• ROS 2 in production, including DDS internals (Fast DDS / Cyclone DDS), discovery, and QoS behavior.
• ros2_control, Nav2, or MoveIt.
• Robotics bringup on Jetson / L4T.
• TF2 and multi-sensor time-sync / calibration.
• Proficient in day-to-day work with CLI-based AI coding tools like Claude Code (or an equivalent). It's how the team operates, not a nice-to-have.
What you'll do
• Ingest and reason over robotics artifacts: rosbags (including MCAP), DDS discovery and QoS logs, ros2_control / Nav2 / MoveIt failures.
• Diagnose Jetson / L4T boot and platform issues.
• Handle the spatial and timing layer: TF2, sensor calibration, time synchronization.
Bonus
• Real-time Linux (PREEMPT_RT).
• ros2_tracing / LTTng.
• End-to-end robot bringup done solo.
• Multi-sensor platform integration.
