Advanced Welding & Robotics Specialist developing robotic welding equipment and processes for Aecon’s nuclear infrastructure projects. Supporting R&D, fabrication, procurement, bids, and project execution.
About the role
- Senior Robotics Software Developer at Promise Robotics delivering cutting-edge robotic manufacturing solutions. Engaging in simulation, motion planning, and mentorship within a collaborative team.
Responsibilities
- Lead the development of robotic simulators — set up and extend simulation environments and test scenarios that mirror our production cells.
- Lead the effort in motion planning and optimization — develop and optimize motion-planning and collision-checking behaviors in ROS 2 / MoveIt2.
- Develop perception components — implement object detection, pose estimation, and point-cloud processing tasks for material handling and inspection.
- Write clean, tested code — produce well-documented C++ and Python, backed by unit and integration tests.
- Debug integration issues — help troubleshoot software–hardware issues alongside the robotics and hardware teams.
- Set the engineering bar — define standards for architecture, testing, and code quality; lead code reviews; mentor junior and mid-level developers.
Requirements
- Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics, or related fields (Masters/Ph.D. preferred) plus 5+ years of relevant robotics software experience.
- Expert-level C++ and Python, with a track record of shipping production-quality robotics software.
- Strong fundamentals in algorithms, data structures, and basic control concepts.
- Deep ROS 2 and MoveIt2 experience — motion planning, collision checking, and trajectory optimization (e.g., OMPL, CHOMP/STOMP/TrajOpt-style approaches).
- Ability to solve complex problems involving multi-disciplinary engineering concepts.
- Strong hands-on experience with a robotics simulator (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, or similar) including physics simulation.
- Exposure to computer vision or perception concepts.
- Eagerness to learn, take feedback, and work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced startup.
- Willingness to work onsite at our R&D labs and production facilities in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta.
Benefits
- Competitive salary: we believe in data-driven, equitable compensation decisions. We recently completed a compensation review and implemented salary bands that enable us to pay mid to above-average Canadian salaries across various industries.
- Stock options: everyone has a stake in our company.
- Holistic benefits: we have a comprehensive benefits package that includes paramedical, dental, vision, and drug coverage for you and your dependents, as well as a health care spending account. These benefits start right from Day 1.
- Flexible personal days and vacation policies: we care deeply about the well-being of our team.
- Open, collaborative, and supportive culture: you will be part of an incredibly high-performing and collaborative team changing the future of an industry!
