Senior Robotics Engineer

• Excellent understanding of core robotics principles, including homogenous transformations, forward and inverse kinematics, closed-loop control, path and motion planning, localization.

• Demonstrable experience using physical robot systems from industry leading manufacturers, such as ABB, FANUC, or KUKA.

• Proven experience taking robotics software from proof-of-concept to production; implementing features vertically through the stack and hardening them for the real world with observability, robust error handling, and graceful failure recovery

• Experience integrating software with real robotic hardware, controllers, and higher-level task-planning systems, and validating it on physical robots, not only in simulation.

• A track record of diagnosing and improving robot behavior using live-cell data, logs, and telemetry, closing the loop between what the simulation predicted and what the hardware actually did

• Skilled at partnering with mechanical and systems engineers to make software resilient to real-world tolerances, mechanical compliance, and part-to-part variability

• Experience building software for multi-robot or multi-station systems, including coordination, synchronization, and reasoning about shared workspaces

• Ability to contribute to architecture-level decisions: system structure, performance tradeoffs, and the choices that keep a robotic platform maintainable as it scales

• Able to communicate effectively and efficiently both verbally and in writing

• Ability to mentor, direct and evaluate the work of junior and mid-level robotics engineers

• Ability to work in-person at Molg HQ in Sterling, VA.
