Contract Robotics Software Engineer - up to 80 per hour, outside IR35

KO2's client is seeking an experienced contractor to work onsite in Middlewich, Cheshire for an exciting and complex robotics project.

This is an initial 6-month contract, with the potential to extend. The role offers a competitive rate of 70-80 per hour. The project focuses on autonomous robots for hazardous and dangerous environments, with the potential to work 4 days a week.

The Role:

The project involves developing an autonomous vehicle and navigation system to map and monitor hazardous areas. The robot must autonomously navigate with high precision (1-2 inches tolerance) in environments where dust, hazards, and tight spaces present a challenge. The robot must follow a close line to perimeter walls and return to its home position once its tasks are completed.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Work on mapping for autonomous robot in hazardous environments.

  • Deliver navigation components for the autonomous system, focusing on ROS integration and mapping for autonomous robot to ensure accurate data collection and task execution.

  • Develop ROS-based systems for autonomous navigation, ensuring the robot navigates within a 1-2 inch tolerance along walls and obstacles.

  • Implement ROS to enable the robot to return to its home position once tasks are completed.

  • Create a robust mapping for autonomous robot architecture to overcome the complexities of working in a non-clean environment with tight tolerances.

  • Advise on the best platform and approach for the project, focusing on the ROS integration for precise navigation and task execution.

  • Work closely with a team to ensure the mapping for autonomous robot meets the project's needs, while also considering the limitations of the environment.

Skills Required:

  • Proven experience in ROS for robotics, particularly in autonomous navigation and mapping for autonomous robot.

  • Expertise in working with navigation components, including LIDAR, IMUs, and sensor integration for precise mapping and navigation in complex environments.

  • Strong background in ROS and development of ROS-based navigation systems.

  • Experience with mapping for autonomous robot systems in challenging environments, with a focus on tight tolerances (1-2 inches).

  • Knowledge of C++, Python, and Linux environments.

  • Experience with simulation work, ideally for autonomous robots in hazardous or confined spaces.

  • Ability to develop from a clean sheet of paper and implement robust solutions in a greenfield project.

Desirable:

  • Experience with Jetson-based platforms or similar hardware.

  • Ability to advise on the best solution for the navigation and mapping aspects of the project.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge autonomous robotics in challenging environments. If you are an expert in ROS, autonomous navigation, and mapping for autonomous robot, and you're looking for a new challenge, we'd love to hear from you.

Location: Middlewich, Cheshire
Rate: 70-80 per hour
Contract Length: 6 months initially, with the possibility to extend.
