About Robolabs
Robolabs is a leading Turkish company in the field of autonomous robotics. We design and manufacture intelligent service robots for industries such as healthcare, smart cleaning, logistics, and environmental monitoring.
We use cutting-edge technologies including ROS2, AI-powered perception, and multi-sensor fusion to create smart, reliable robotic platforms. Our robots are already operating in over 5 countries, and we’re rapidly expanding.
About the Position
We’re looking for a talented and hands-on Robotics Engineer with strong expertise in ROS2 to join our R&D team on-site in Istanbul.
You will play a key role in designing, developing, testing, and improving the autonomous behaviors of our robots. Your work will directly impact real-world robotic platforms operating in dynamic, human-populated environments.
You’ll be working closely with our Business Development Lead to run outreach campaigns, identify ideal partners, and make sure our message is relevant and grounded in real-world needs.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop core robotic functions using ROS2, including:
- SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping)
- Path planning and navigation
- Obstacle avoidance and task execution
- Write clean, modular, and well-documented ROS2 Nodes in C++ and Python.
- Integrate various sensors (stereo/depth cameras, LiDAR, IMU, ultrasonic, etc.) into the robotic stack.
- Test, evaluate, and improve system performance in real-world environments.
- Collaborate with hardware, AI, and mobile development teams to deliver seamless, integrated products.
- Contribute to technical documentation, system design discussions, and code reviews.
Required Qualifications
- 2+ years of hands-on experience developing with ROS or ROS2.
- Proficiency in C++ and Python.
- Strong understanding of robotic systems, kinematics, and motion control.
- Experience with ROS2 tools such as:
- Nav2, SLAM Toolbox, rviz, ros2_control, tf2, gazebo
- Familiarity with Linux (Ubuntu) development environments.
Preferred (Bonus) Skills
- Experience working with real robots (not just simulation).
- Familiarity with OTA updates, fleet management, or cloud-based control systems.
- Knowledge of perception systems (object/human detection).
- Ability to troubleshoot complex systems across hardware and software layers.
- Contribution to open-source robotics projects or a GitHub portfolio is a plus. or a long-term role if it’s the right fit
🔒 Important Note
This is a full-time, on-site position based in Istanbul.
We do not offer remote or hybrid work options for this role. Candidates must be willing to relocate if not already in Istanbul.
What We Offer
- Be part of a real-world robotics company with active deployments and ongoing R&D.
- Work on cutting-edge projects in healthcare, logistics, agriculture, and environmental monitoring.
- Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
- A professional, collaborative, and engineering-driven work environment.
- Opportunities for growth, learning, and leadership.
