Job Description
Senior Robotics Systems Engineer
On behalf of our client, a global leader in commercializing autonomous vehicle technology, we're hiring a Senior Robotics Systems Engineer. Our client's Autonomous Haulage Systems are already live in production across multiple mining and quarry sites worldwide.
We're looking for a Senior Robotics Systems Engineer with 5+ years of experience to join a small, high-impact systems team and help scale autonomy deployments globally. This is an opportunity to be one of the first engineers shaping how autonomy is deployed on real vehicles, not in simulation. We need someone who thrives in ambiguity, is motivated by building from the ground up, and has hands-on experience deploying robotics systems in the real world.
What You'll Do
- Integrate and validate autonomy capabilities on real autonomous haul trucks, taking features from prototype to reliable performance on production vehicles
- Own system-level integration across sensors, compute, networking, and software stacks, ensuring everything performs correctly during testing phases
- Lead technical execution for new truck platform bring-ups, working with hardware teams on sensor integration, calibration, and performance tuning across multiple OEM brands (Hitachi, Komatsu, Toyota, Hyundai)
- Build and improve diagnostics, validation criteria, and release gates for production readiness across a growing international fleet
- Collaborate cross-functionally with planning, controls, operations, and safety teams to deliver robust autonomy behavior in mission-critical mining environments
