Software Engineer - Robot Navigation, Localization & SLAM (Universal Robots, Bangalore - India)

Software Engineer – Robot Navigation, Localization & SLAM

Our Purpose

TERADYNE – where experience meets innovation and driving excellence in every connection. We foster an inclusive culture that values diversity, collaboration, and continuous learning, enabling us to deliver advanced robotics solutions with real‑world impact.

Opportunity Overview

We are looking for a Software Engineer with a strong background in robot navigation, localization, and SLAM who wants to apply deep technical expertise closer to real customer deployments.

This role is ideal for engineers coming from core R&D or autonomy teams who want to see their work make an immediate difference in production systems. You will work in a customer‑facing front‑office engineering team, operating at the intersection of deployed robots, real environments, and the evolution of our navigation stack.

You will not be doing first‑line support. Instead, you will own technically complex navigation issues observed in the field, identify root causes, implement solutions where appropriate, and drive well‑defined escalations to R&D when architectural changes are required. Your work will directly influence both customer success and the future direction of our autonomy software.

What This Role Is About

• Turning real‑world navigati on failures into concrete software improvements

• Bringing production feedback back into the autonomy stack

• Solving problems that only emerge at scale and in customer environments

• Maintaining strong technical ownership while increasing customer impact

Key Responsibilities

• Take end‑to‑end ownership of navigation, localization, and SLAM issues observed in customer deployments

• Analyze logs, metrics, and recorded sensor data to understand system behavior in the real world
