At Prime Robotics, we’re building the future of warehouse automation through tightly integrated robotics, software, and intelligent infrastructure. Our systems support pallet retrieval, case picking, each picking, and rack automation in active, high-throughput warehouse environments. We are now advancing our platform toward the next generation of AI-driven robotics, combining autonomous systems, perception, simulation, and scalable software to create smarter, more adaptive warehouse operations.
Position
We are seeking a Senior Robotics Engineer to help architect and develop the next generation of Prime Robotics’ autonomous systems. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on building production-grade robotics software and integrating advanced robotics technologies that drive state of the art perception, navigation, and distributed systems. You will work across software, hardware, and field deployment challenges to deliver intelligent, scalable, and reliable robotic solutions for real-world warehouse environments.
Please note that this role is on-site and this individual will split their time between our lab in Downtown Denver and our Corporate HQ in Lakewood, CO.
What You’ll Do
-
Architect and develop robotics software in ROS/ROS2 for autonomous mobile robots, from motion and perception through orchestration and fleet behavior.
-
Build and optimize systems involving SLAM navigation, sensor fusion, path & motion planning, and multi-robot coordination.
-
Lead development in advancing our robotics capabilities to include AI and machine learning for safety and throughput optimizations
-
Troubleshoot complex field and lab issues across hardware/software boundaries, driving root cause analysis and long-term fixes.
-
Collaborate with cross-functional teams in the US and China to improve robotic system performance, reliability, and maintainability.
-
Support customer implementations, deployment readiness, and technical validation efforts that shape future product direction and sustain high value customer requirements.
Requirements
Required Skills & Experience
-
8+ years of experience in robotics, autonomous systems, or related fields, with a proven track record of shipping real products.
-
Strong expertise in C++ and Python, with experience building performance-critical, production-quality systems.
-
Deep understanding of ROS/ROS2, real-time robotics systems, SLAM, navigation, path planning, and control.
