**Workplace:** hybrid

**Department:** Aperion Robotics

## Description

**iKnowHow Group** is a dynamic, international technology company with 24+ years of experience and a team of 300+ talented professionals delivering innovative technology solutions across Energy, Telecommunications, Banking & Financial Services, and the Public Sector.

**Aperion Robotics**, part of IKH Group, focuses on the development and commercialization of advanced robotic systems designed to operate reliably in demanding real-world environments.

We are currently looking for an experienced **Senior Robotics Engineer** to join our growing Robotics team and take technical ownership of key autonomy, navigation and system integration activities across our robotic platforms.

**Responsibilities**:

-   Design, develop and maintain robotics software using C++ and Python within ROS/ROS 2 environments.

-   Develop and improve localization and state-estimation pipelines using data from GNSS/RTK, IMUs, wheel odometry, LiDAR and other onboard sensors.
-   Design and improve autonomous navigation capabilities, including global path planning, local motion control, obstacle avoidance and recovery behaviors.
-   Develop autonomy and motion-control functionality for outdoor mobile robots and magnetic crawlers operating in marine environments.
-   Improve robot behavior in challenging operational conditions, including degraded GNSS reception, sensor noise, wheel slippage, limited connectivity and partially observable environments.
-   Design robust mission-execution and fault-handling mechanisms that allow robots to operate reliably for extended periods.
-   Analyze field data, logs, sensor recordings and performance metrics to identify failures and improve system reliability.
-   Participate in robot commissioning, sensor calibration, hardware bring-up and field validation.
-   Integrate robotics software with embedded controllers, sensors, actuators, backend services and operator-facing applications.
-   Design modular, maintainable and testable software architectures for production robotic systems.
-   Translate product and operational requirements into technical specifications, implementation tasks and validation procedures.
-   Conduct code reviews and contribute to software quality, development practices and technical documentation.
-   Mentor Junior and Associate Robotics Engineers and support their technical development.
-   Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, embedded, backend and frontend engineers, as well as product and field-operation teams.
-   Participate in technical discussions with customers and stakeholders when required.

## Requirements

-   Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering or a related field.

-   At least 4 years of professional experience in robotics, autonomous systems or a closely related software-engineering field.
-   Strong software-development experience in modern C++/Python as well as strong hands-on experience with ROS 1/2.
-   Solid understanding of mobile-robot localization and state estimation.
-   Experience integrating multiple sensors such as IMUs, wheel encoders, GNSS/RTK receivers, LiDARs, depth cameras or other perception sensors.
-   Good understanding of sensor fusion concepts, coordinate frames, transformations, uncertainty and covariance.
-   Experience with autonomous-navigation systems, including path planning, local control and obstacle avoidance.
-   Good understanding of mobile-robot kinematics and motion control.
-   Strong knowledge of Linux-based robotic systems.
-   Experience with Git and collaborative software-development workflows.
-   Experience debugging complex software and system-integration issues on physical robots.
-   Ability to analyse logs and field data and systematically identify the root cause of failures.
-   Professional working proficiency in English, both written and spoken.
-   Willingness to participate in occasional field testing and commissioning activities in Greece or abroad.

**Nice to have:**

-   Experience with EKF/UKF-based state estimation, LiDAR odometry, visual odometry or SLAM.
-   Experience with GNSS/RTK-based outdoor navigation and navigation in GNSS-degraded environments.
-   Experience with navigation frameworks such as Nav2, Move Base Flex or equivalent custom navigation stacks.
-   Familiarity with real-time systems, CAN bus, serial communication, motor controllers and embedded interfaces.
-   Experience with Docker, CI/CD pipelines and automated testing for robotics software.
-   Experience with robotics simulation environments such as Gazebo, Ignition, Webots or Isaac Sim.
-   Previous technical-leadership or mentoring experience.

## Benefits

-   Competitive compensation package.

-   Flexible hybrid working model, combining office and remote work.
-   Private medical insurance.
-   Career development and growth opportunities.
-   Continuous training and learning opportunities through personalized seminars.
-   A stable and enjoyable working environment within a multidisciplinary engineering team.
