What We Are Looking For We are looking for someone who is not limited to a narrow software discipline. The right engineer should be comfortable moving between a high-level autonomy algorithm, a Linux process, a CAN message, a motor controller, a camera stream, and an operator interface when solving a system-level problem. You should be: Hands-on: Comfortable working directly with the physical robot, electronics, sensors, motors, and test equipment—not only writing software at a desk. Systems-oriented: Able to understand how mechanical, electrical, controls, perception, and software components interact. Independent: Able to investigate unfamiliar technologies, evaluate alternatives, and move development forward with limited supervision. Practical: Focused on developing robust systems that work reliably outside the laboratory. Analytical: Capable of debugging complex problems that cross hardware and software boundaries. Collaborative: Comfortable working closely with mechanical, electrical, controls, AI, and systems engineers. Organized: Able to document architecture, interfaces, requirements, testing, and technical decisions. Adaptable: Interested in learning new sensors, platforms, protocols, algorithms, and development tools as the system evolves. Depending on experience, the engineer may also coordinate specialized software development performed by outside developers, vendors, or technology partners and be responsible for integrating those components into the overall robotic system. Why Join Infratek Solutions? At Infratek Solutions, you will have the opportunity to work on a robotic system from concept through real-world deployment rather than developing one isolated component of a much larger product. You will work directly with robotics, machine vision, autonomous navigation, advanced sensors, embedded systems, AI, and transportation technologies while helping define the architecture of an entirely new robotic platform. Your work will directly influence how the system operates in the real world and contribute to the development of technologies intended to improve mobility, accessibility, safety, and efficiency within transportation systems . For an engineer who enjoys to be part of team in charge of building a robotic systems and seeing their software come alive on physical hardware, this role offers significant technical ownership and room to innovate. Job Type: Full-time Benefits: Health insurance Paid time off Application Question(s): This role requires full-time, onsite work at our facility. Are you comfortable working 100% onsite with our team? Will you now or in the future require visa sponsorship? Have you ever built software that connects to hardware devices, robots, or sensors (not just websites)? Have you worked with a robotics framework like ROS or ROS2? What is your desired salary ?
