Robotics Research Engineer - L1

Job Title: Robotics Research Engineer - L1 Company: Perceptyne Job Category: Machine Learning Roles & Responsibilities: If you want to leapfrog into a robotics career by writing code that moves real motors, reads real sensors, and makes a physical machine more capable every week, this is that role. * Build and improve ROS 2 software for robot arms, grippers, sensors, and system telemetry. * Help implement motion\-planning, trajectory\-generation, and control pipelines for dual\-arm manipulation. * Develop C\+\+ and Python tools for calibration, data collection, testing, logging, visualization, and robot diagnostics. * Bring up and integrate hardware including cameras, depth sensors, encoders, motor controllers, grippers, and compute systems. * Run experiments in simulation and on physical robots; compare expected behaviour with what the robot actually does. * Assist with perception and manipulation tasks such as object detection, pose estimation, grasping, pick\-and\-place, insertion, and cable or connector handling. * Debug issues spanning software, coordinate frames, calibration, communication, sensor noise, motion planning, and actuator behaviour. * Write clear documentation, test procedures, and reproducible experiment workflows. * Read relevant robotics research and help turn useful ideas into practical prototypes. Work Location: Hyderabad, Telangana, India Availability: Full time

* Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related discipline—or equivalent demonstrated project experience. * 1\+ years of experience in building software or hardware for robot arms, mobile robots, drones, autonomous vehicles, or custom mechatronic systems. * Working proficiency in C\+\+ and/or Python. You should be comfortable reading existing code, debugging it, and writing clean additions to it. * Familiarity with Linux, Git, command\-line tools, and standard software\-development workflows. * Basic experience with ROS or ROS 2, and a clear willingness and ability to master it quickly. * Understanding of core robotics concepts: coordinate frames, transformations, forward and inverse kinematics, trajectories, sensors, feedback, and control. * Comfort with linear algebra and geometry: vectors, matrices, rotations, transforms, and coordinate systems. * A practical debugging mindset: you can use logs, plots, measurements, and experiments to narrow down why something fails. * Willingness to work directly with physical robots in our Hyderabad lab and deployment environments.
