Robotics Engineer – Planning & Behaviour for Swarm Autonomy
Stealth Robotics | Multi-Agent Systems | Social Impact
Join a stealth-mode robotics startup led by ex-Secondmind founders with multiple successful exits. Operating as both a research lab and product builder, they’re developing distributed intelligence for autonomous swarms with real-world impact, including partnerships with Ukrainian manufacturers.
This is a rare chance to join early, take real ownership, and build foundational tech in a creative, mission-driven environment.
The Role
As a Robotics Engineer (Planning & Behaviour), you’ll design systems that turn mission goals into intelligent, coordinated actions across a fleet of autonomous agents.
* Multi-agent task planning and strategic behaviour
* Translating high-level plans into executable robot actions
* Integrating diverse motion planners across heterogeneous platforms
* Collision avoidance, feasibility checks, and adaptive behaviours
* Close collaboration with robotics and simulation teams
What You Bring
* MSc/PhD in Robotics, CS, or related field
* Strong experience in task/motion planning, behaviour trees, or symbolic planning
* Hands-on with ROS 2, MoveIt/Nav2, and Python/C++
* Familiarity with simulators like Isaac Lab, MuJoCo, or Gazebo
If you’re excited to shape the behaviour layer of real-world swarm robotics in a fast-moving, impact-driven team — let’s talk.
