Robotics Engineer

Skills Required:

• Deep understanding of robotics fundamentals - kinematics, dynamics, control theory, and motion planning.
• Expertise in ROS / ROS 2, Gazebo, MoveIt, and navigation stacks.
• Proficiency in C++ and Python for robotic system development and integration.
• Experience designing and implementing real-time control systems and sensor fusion algorithms (Kalman filters, SLAM, VIO).
• Strong understanding of hardware–software co-design, embedded systems, and actuator/sensor interfaces.
• Familiarity with simulation and modeling tools - MATLAB, Simulink, Isaac Sim, PyBullet, Mujoco, or Webots.
• Knowledge of AI integration in robotics - perception models (YOLOv8, Segment Anything), reinforcement learning, and LLM-based robotic agents.
• Exposure to edge AI platforms - NVIDIA Jetson, Luxonis OAK-D, Coral TPU.
• Proficiency in mechanical and electrical interfacing, CAN bus, UART, EtherCAT, and **real-time networking (RT-ROS, DDS)*.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted tools like ChatGPT for Robotics, Copilot, RoboFlow, and OpenVLA.
• Bonus: Experience in humanoid systems, soft robotics, or biomechanics-inspired robotics.

Who We Are Looking For:

Upsurge Labs builds intelligent machines, from humanoids to biotech assistants to creative robots that redefine automation. We need Robotics Engineers who can develop systems that move, adapt, and learn in the real world, not just simulations.

You should be:

• Hardworking, methodical, and well-organized, balancing innovation with safety and precision.
• A systems thinker fluent in hardware, firmware, and AI.
• Enjoy solving complex mechanical and computational challenges.
• Curious and disciplined, willing to iterate until solutions work.
• Comfortable working with advanced AI models and integrating them into robotics.
• Aware that this field is complex and sometimes uncertain, but that’s what makes it rewarding.

If you want to build machines that truly feel alive, this is the place to do it.
