What this job asks for AI summary
A hands-on robotics software engineering role focused on building and integrating autonomous robotic platforms across the full stack — from perception, localization, and SLAM to motion planning, control systems, and safety-critical software. The work spans simulation, hardware integration, and field testing using ROS/ROS 2, C++, and Python. Suited to an experienced robotics engineer comfortable operating across both software and hardware domains.

Why we read it this way (11)
The posting is listed via Jobgether on behalf of an unnamed partner company; the actual employer is not disclosed.
The degree requirement lists 'Bachelor's or Master's' but does not hard-gate on either — equivalent experience is implicitly accepted given the framing, so the degree requirement is set to None.
ROS and ROS 2 are listed as interchangeable in the requirements section ('ROS or ROS 2'); ROS 2 is captured as an alternative.
Gazebo, Isaac Sim, and MuJoCo are listed as interchangeable simulation environment options in the requirements section.
Kalman filters and particle filters are listed as interchangeable sensor fusion approaches in the requirements section.
LiDAR, IMU, cameras, and other sensors appear in the accountabilities/responsibilities section rather than a hard-requirements block; LiDAR and IMU are captured as preferred.
Behavior trees (and state machines/task planners) appear in the accountabilities section, not the requirements block, so they are marked preferred.
ISO 26262, IEC 61508, ML-based perception pipelines, and open-source robotics contributions are explicitly called out as 'a plus' / 'preferred' in the posting.
Experience with autonomous vehicles, drones, industrial automation, or safety-critical systems is explicitly listed as preferred, not required.
The role is fully remote within the United States; no specific metro or state is identified.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): motion planning.
