Role: C++/Qt Systems Engineer

The Challenge: The Nervous System of Robotics

We are not just building interfaces; we are building high-performance command centers that serve as the window into complex robotic systems. Imagine the sophisticated, data-rich platforms seen at companies like Eddyfi—we are pushing that frontier further. You will be responsible for visualizing complex sensor data and robotic movements with zero lag, ensuring the software is as responsive as the hardware it controls.

The Mission (Scorecard)

●      Architect the "Un-bottlenecked" UI: Develop a Qt-based framework capable of handling massive data throughput from NDT sensors without a single frame drop.

●      Low-Latency Synergy: Collaborate daily with our C++ BackEnd Architect, who will provide technical mentorship to ensure the UI layer adheres to sub-millisecond systems-level requirements.

●      Real-Time Data Visualization: Design and implement modular C++ backend components that integrate with Qt HMI dashboards for real-time status and sensor visualization.

●      Hardware-to-HMI Integration: Implement SPI, UART, and CAN communication protocols for high-precision data acquisition and device control

●      Mission-Critical Reliability: Own the software lifecycle from initial commit to field deployment, ensuring it meets the "zero-defect" culture required for robotics and medical-grade ap

●      Product Ownership: Own the software lifecycle from initial commit to field deployment, ensuring it meets the rigorous demands of real-world robotics.

Technical DNA (Requirements)

·     Core Systems Programming: Deep mastery of C++ (OOP, STL, RAII) and Linux System Programming.

·     Qt Framework Expertise: Expert-level proficiency in Qt Widgets, Signals & Slots, and Qt Creator.

·     Concurrency & Performance: Extensive experience in Multithreading, POSIX threads, Mutex, and Condition Variables to handle asynchronous data streams.

·     Networking & IPC: Robust experience in TCP/IP Socket Programming (Client-Server) and IPC mechanisms including Shared Memory, Message Queues, and Semaphores.

·     Embedded Protocols: Hands-on experience with CAN, SPI, UART, and I2C for interacting with hardware peripherals and ADCs.

·     Debugging & Profiling: Proficiency with GDB, Valgrind, and system-level testing using Oscilloscopes and CAN Analyzers.

Professional Growth and Environment

●      Intellectual Sparring: Join a team of smart peers and mentors who will constantly challenge your assumptions and push your technical boundaries.

●      Technological Confluence: Work at the absolute intersection of Advanced Research, Robotics, and Cybernetics.

●      Impact and Vision: Your work directly influences our trajectory toward Series-A, offering a clear sense of purpose and a tangible stake in the company’s success.

The Stakeholder Ecosystem

●      C++ Architect: Your primary partner for aligning high-level software with deep systems-level logic.

●      Robotics Engineers: The team relying on your UI to make their machines interact with the user in real-time.

●      Full Stack DevOps: The bridge ensuring your high-performance builds reach edge devices seamlessly.

●      Quality/QC Testing: Partners in maintaining a "zero-defect" culture through rigorous performance profiling.

Candidate Profile

We are looking for an individual who combines technical mastery with a collaborative spirit. You should have a deep intuition for C++ and Qt, paired with the humility to iterate and grow within a high-velocity team.

Senior Robotics Engineer – ROS 2 Migration & Systems (C++)

Department: R&D Engineering

Location: Noida (On-Site)

Company: Octobotics Tech Pvt. Ltd.

About Octobotics

Octobotics develops autonomous industrial mobile robots designed to operate in complex, unstructured industrial environments such as tanks, pipelines, and heavy infrastructure facilities.

As we scale from MVP to production-grade systems, we are migrating our robotics architecture from ROS 1 (Noetic) to a fully native ROS 2 (Humble/Iron) ecosystem to enable real-time performance, scalability, and reliability.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior Robotics Engineer to lead the migration of our core autonomy stack from ROS 1 to ROS 2.

This is a systems-level, architecture-focused role involving navigation design, middleware optimization, sensor fusion, and high-performance C++ development for real-world industrial deployment.

This position requires strong ownership, deep robotics fundamentals, and experience building production-grade systems.

Key Responsibilities

1. ROS 1 to ROS 2 Migration

• Port core navigation and control logic from ROS 1 (Noetic) to ROS 2 (Humble/Iron)
• Rewrite nodes using Lifecycle Management and Node Composition
• Bridge legacy systems using ros1_bridge
• Port and validate custom message and service definitions
• Optimize inter-node communication for zero-copy performance

2. Navigation & Autonomy Architecture

• Architect and customize Nav2 stack
• Develop custom Behavior Tree plugins
• Implement custom Costmap layers for dynamic obstacle handling
• Design robust global and local planning strategies (A*, DWB, TEB)

3. Middleware & DDS Optimization

• Configure and tune DDS implementations (FastDDS / CycloneDDS)
• Optimize QoS profiles for lossy WiFi and constrained industrial networks
• Debug discovery and multicast-related issues
• Ensure deterministic and real-time communication behavior

4. Sensor Fusion & Localization

• Implement and tune EKF/UKF pipelines using robot_localization
• Fuse IMU, Wheel Odometry, and LiDAR data
• Maintain bounded covariance and state estimation stability
• Debug drift and pose estimation inconsistencies

5. Serialization & Internal Systems

• Implement Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) for efficient internal data logging
• Design low-overhead inter-process communication mechanisms
• Ensure minimal latency and memory-safe execution

Technical Requirements

Robotics Stack

• Strong hands-on experience with ROS 2 (Humble/Iron preferred)
• Solid understanding of ROS 1 architecture and migration practices
• Deep knowledge of Nav2 (Planners, Controllers, Recoveries)
• Experience with SLAM frameworks (Cartographer, SLAM Toolbox)

Core Robotics Fundamentals

• Rigid body transformations and coordinate frames (SE(3))
• Quaternions and homogeneous transformation matrices
• TF tree architecture (map → odom → base_link)
• Forward & Inverse Kinematics (Differential Drive / Ackermann)
• Probabilistic robotics and Bayesian estimation principles

Programming

• Advanced C++ (C++14/17)
• RAII
• Smart pointers
• Template metaprogramming
• Real-time safe coding practices
• Python for prototyping and orchestration

What We’re Looking For

• Strong debugging skills in distributed systems
• Ability to handle real-world deployment constraints
• Experience building robotics systems beyond simulation
• Comfort working in production-level autonomy stacks
