Senior Software Engineer – Robotics Manipulation

7 days ago


Singapore Hivebotics Full time

Senior Software Engineer – Robotics Manipulation & Vision We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to lead the development of the manipulation system for our autonomous mobile manipulation robot. The role involves motion planning, grasp planning, vision‑guided manipulation, and safety‑critical control of robotic arms and end‑effectors. You will work closely with navigation and perception teams to ensure seamless robot‑environment interaction. Key Responsibilities Design and implement robotic manipulation pipelines using MoveIt, ROS 2, and C++. Develop vision‑guided manipulation (eg. object detection and pose estimation) for detecting shapes of toilets and sinks. Optimize path planning (OMPL, STOMP) for collision‑free arm motions in tight spaces. Implement force‑torque control and compliant motions for safe interaction with surfaces. Architect behavior‑tree‑based task execution for manipulation workflows (e.g., "pick tool → scrub → retract"). Integrate safety monitors (e.g., torque limits, emergency stops) into the manipulation stack. Work with embedded teams to ensure low‑latency communication between manipulators and sensors. Conduct real‑world testing in fields and refine manipulation robustness. Create APIs to interface with 3rd‑party UI dashboards. Low‑Level Driver Development: write custom drivers for actuators (servos, linear motors) and end‑effector tools (suction pumps, spray nozzles). Interface with microcontrollers (Arduino, STM32) for real‑time sensor feedback (force‑torque, proximity sensors). Required Skills & Qualifications PhD/MS in Robotics, computer science or equivalent domain. 5+ years in robotic manipulation (industrial arms, mobile manipulators). Expertise in MoveIt, ROS 2, and motion planning (experience with MoveIt Pro a plus). Strong C++ skills with experience in real‑time robotic control. Background in computer vision (OpenCV, PyTorch, YOLO) for object detection/grasping. Experience with end‑effector tooling (grippers, suction systems, cleaning attachments). Knowledge of force control and compliant manipulation strategies. Familiarity with behavior trees for task sequencing. Bonus: Experience with 6/7‑DoF arm kinematics (URDF, IK solvers). Prior work with manipulators (e.g., KUKA, Kinova, UR, Franka). Seniority level Mid‑Senior level Employment type Full‑time Job function Engineering and Information Technology Industries Appliances, Electrical, and Electronics Manufacturing #J-18808-Ljbffr
