Baubot is a robotics company focused on driving the construction industry forward with innovative and industry-leading mobile robotic systems. We build end-to-end solutions that combine hardware, software, and real-world deployments on demanding job sites.

Tasks

• Develop ROS2-based robotics software stack (packages, nodes, launch, parameters, QoS), with a strong focus on robustness and maintainability
• Build a deep system understanding across the robot: interfaces to industrial subsystems (e.g., arm/control layers), safety-related signals, and platform services on Linux
• Implement hands-on robotics algorithms that improve reliability and performance (e.g., estimation/filtering, accuracy improvements, calibration/compensation concepts, process optimization)
• Set up and evolve data logging, processing, and evaluation pipelines so field data turns into measurable product improvements
• Support simulation / HIL / test development and verification, and integrate tests into CI where possible
• Debug and improve the system on the robot (lab + field): diagnose issues across software/hardware boundaries and drive fixes through to stable releases
• (Optional) Contribute AI/ML where it makes sense (e.g., anomaly detection, data-driven quality metrics, assisted perception features)

Note: We care most about ROS2 engineering, system integration, data-driven iteration, and practical algorithms that make robots reliable on real construction sites.

Qualifications

• Degree in computer science, software engineering, robotics (or comparable experience)
• Strong hands-on experience with ROS2 (architecture + day-to-day engineering, not just “used it once”)
• Strong Python skills and very good Linux proficiency (debugging, tooling, deployment mindset)
• Solid software engineering fundamentals (clean interfaces, testing mindset, code quality, reproducibility)
• Comfortable working with data: logs/telemetry, basic statistics, evaluation, and clear metrics
• Ownership mindset, self-motivation, and the ability to collaborate in a cross-functional team

Nice to have

• C++ (for performance-critical components / specific libraries)
• Experience with CI/CD, Docker/containers, HIL/simulation workflows
• Robotics fundamentals (kinematics, estimation/sensor fusion, optimization, controls)
• AI/ML experience (PyTorch/TensorFlow, classical ML, evaluation pipelines)
• Experience in harsh real-world environments (field robotics, construction, industrial systems)
