Lead the design of robotics architecture, focusing on autonomous systems for outdoor operations, including managing the robotics stack and collaboration with teams.
Senior Robotics Engineer
We are helping one of our early stage deep tech portfolio companies hire a Senior Robotics Engineer to lead their robotics architecture, building autonomous systems for large-scale outdoor operations.
You will own the robotics stack end-to-end, architecting the control and orchestration layers that enable single and multi-robot fleet operations across dynamic, unstructured environments. You will work closely with the computer vision team - AI Engineers and the founder/CEO.
The role involves in-office collaboration five days a week plus field deployment as part of the work.
Requirements
What we're looking for:
- Deep expertise in ROS (Robot Operating System), ideally on aerial or mobile robotics platforms
- Strong control engineering background
- Degree in robotics, mechatronics, electrical or electronic engineering
- Proven track record shipping autonomous systems into production (not just research)
- Comfortable owning a complex robotics stack end-to-end with limited supervision
- Prior experience deploying robots reliably in unstructured outdoor environments is a real plus
- Exposure to drone autonomy, aerial robotics, or adjacent deep tech a bonus
Benefits
- Early stage, meaningful equity
- Competitive salary
- Senior role in building the robotics architecture from the ground up at a pivotal stage, with significant autonomy and direct impact on the company's technical direction.

What you need to know about the Sydney Tech Scene
From opera to comedy shows, the Sydney Opera House hosts more than 1,600 performances a year, yet its entertainment sector isn't the only one taking center stage. The city's tech sector has earned a reputation as one of the fastest-growing in the region. More specifically, its IT sector stands out as the country's third-largest, growing at twice the rate of overall employment in the past decade as businesses continue to digitize their operations to stay competitive.
