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!
  • Relocation assistance package (if required)
