Robotics Engineer (Hardware+ROS2) Part-Time

Robotics Engineer (Hardware + ROS2 - Part-time) Part-time · Hybrid/In-person About us Aerobotics7 builds autonomous robots and AI for some of the hardest problems in the physical world. We started in humanitarian demining, building sensing systems to detect landmines and make land safe to use again. That work is now taking us somewhere bigger and more urgent: a problem most people never see, that affects millions of lives and the infrastructure everything depends on. We are building the robot that solves it, and we are looking for an engineer to help bring it to life. We are small, technical, and moving fast. You would be one of the first engineers on the robot, working directly with the founders, with your work heading into real customer pilots within weeks. What you will do Bring up and integrate sensors, compute, and power on a mobile ground robot (LiDAR, Stereo Cam, IMU, embedded compute, custom power rails) Build, tune and debug ROS2 nodes for data acquisition, sensor fusion, and localization Own hardware integration end to end: wiring, harnessing, mounting, bench testing, field testing Get the robot field-ready for real deployments, not just the lab You should have Strong hands-on ROS2 experience (nodes, launch, tf, working with real sensor data) LiDAR-inertial odometry or SLAM (FAST-LIO2, LIO-SAM, and similar) Sensor calibration and time synchronization Comfort with embedded Linux and single-board compute (Jetson or similar) Real hardware skills: sensor integration, wiring, power, debugging with a multimeter and scope, not only simulation Experience taking a robot from bench to field Based in the Bay Area and able to work in person in/near Santa Clara Bonus points Radios and networking for field robots You have shipped a robot that left the building and survived contact with the real world Logistics Part-time to begin, hybrid/in person, immediate start Santa Clara + other test locations Clear path to more scope and ownership as we grow How to apply Send a link to something you built (repo, demo video, or portfolio) along with your application here on Dover: https://app.dover.com/apply/22cf9f28-8406-4aca-af1d-64721c418007/b606bbe2-4a1a-4308-ba43-7a92b279fa1d/ A working robot video beats a long resume every time.
