Vetted Robot Operating System (ROS) Professionals

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on experience building autonomy features across perception, planning, and systems integration—most notably for an autonomous lunar rover that detects and geometrically models craters to plan terrain manipulation. Also owned development of an autonomous stair-climbing module for a quadruped robot as an intern, and has real-time motion-planning/IK debugging experience on a Franka Panda using RGB-D (RealSense).”

“Robotics software engineer who has built full ROS 2 stacks for both a semi-automated robotic ultrasound system (UR5e + depth camera) and a quadrotor planning/MPC pipeline in Gazebo. Strong in integrating major ROS 2 frameworks (MoveIt/Nav2/RTAB-Map), writing custom packages (URDF, ACADOS-based MPC, laser landmark detection), and optimizing real-time behavior via GPU parallelization and distributed multi-threaded ROS 2 architectures; also contributes to ROS 2 core (structured parameters).”

“Robotics software engineer focused on low-compute navigation/SLAM: built a 6-DOF SLAM validation pipeline (IMU + 2D LiDAR + ultrasonic) producing ~1cm OctoMap accuracy and deployed it on an Intel Atom by optimizing particle-filter SLAM with a greedy max-likelihood update. Deep ROS 2 experience (executors, composable/lifecycle nodes, QoS, timestamping) plus simulation and deployment tooling (Gazebo C++ plugins, Docker, CI/CD, ROS 2 build farm) and drone navigation work with MAVROS/PX4.”

“Robotics software engineer who built a ROS2-based ping-pong ball interception system on a 7-DOF Sawyer arm, spanning real-time vision, trajectory prediction, and an MPC joint-velocity controller to hit a flying ball within ~1 second. Demonstrated strong real-time debugging and systems integration skills (timestamp-based latency analysis, event-based redesign, ROS2 QoS tuning) and is currently working with Isaac Sim in Docker with GitHub-based CI/CD for assembly-task simulation.”

“Robotics software engineer who built the full control stack for a fleet of manufacturing/repair robots in Relativity Space R&D (perception, planning, motion control, integration, deployment). Has ROS/ROS 2 experience spanning custom SLAM (LiDAR+IMU), multi-robot coordination, and multi-drone control (Pixhawk 4, minimum-snap trajectories), with strong real-world debugging and simulation/CI testing practices (Gazebo, CI/CD, some Docker).”

“Robotics software engineer leading an autonomy stack migration from ROS1 to ROS2, including a custom-built global parameter server to preserve existing infrastructure while shipping continuous production releases. Hands-on across navigation/safety/monitoring packages, control (ROS2 PID for steering/speed), and localization performance work (particle filter optimization), with strong ownership of CI-driven test strategy and release quality.”

“Robotics/IoT engineer who deployed a fog-enabled real-time monitoring system (edge Raspberry Pi + MQTT + cloud logging) and validated it via an IEEE-indexed publication. Strong in autonomous navigation with ROS/Gazebo, SLAM/localization, and cross-layer debugging using timing/transform-delay correlation. Extends Python computer vision pipelines (YOLO + OpenCV/Albumentations) for custom datasets and weather-specific conditions.”

“Robotics software engineer with ~7 years of ROS/ROS2 experience spanning Mars rover simulation/navigation, robot arm integration (URDF/MoveIt/ros2_control), and medical magnetic actuation systems using RGB-D feedback. Built a 5-DOF CNC-like magnetic capsule navigation prototype end-to-end and has deep hands-on skill debugging real-time control issues (CAN, encoder timing, controller tuning) plus PLC/Modbus-to-ROS2 integration.”
