Robotics Engineer

Please note we do not offer visa sponsorship. Applicants must already be eligible to work in Belgium.

At Botronics, we are redefining the game of golf with robotics. Our flagship product, iXi, is the world's first autonomous golf trolley, designed to offer golfers an effortless, hands-free experience on the course. We are a dynamic startup passionate about blending autonomy, smart design, and user experience to create innovative solutions in sports robotics.

We are now looking for a Robotics Engineer to join our team and help shape the future of autonomous systems in golf.

What you'll do

• Design, develop, and deploy autonomous navigation and control systems for mobile robots (like iXi) using ROS 2 and Nav2.
• Integrate perception, localization, and path planning algorithms into our robotic platforms.
• Work on embedded systems running Embedded Linux, interfacing sensors, actuators, and hardware drivers.
• Collaborate across disciplines (hardware, software, product) to prototype and iterate rapidly in a startup environment.
• Contribute to system testing and field trials on golf courses, with hands-on debugging and optimization.
• Support the entire lifecycle of robotics software, from R&D to production.

What we're looking for (everything is nice to have, we are open to junior profiles)

• Proven experience in ROS 2 projects and autonomous robotic systems.
• Strong knowledge of Nav2, localization, mapping, and navigation stacks.
• Experience working with outdoor robotics and rovers.
• Solid experience with Embedded Linux and Nvidia embedded systems development.
• Proficiency in C++ and Python for robotics applications.
• Knowledge of AI and computer vision.
• A proactive mindset with flexibility to contribute across various tasks, typical of a startup environment.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently and in a team.
• Good level in English (spoken and written).
• Experience with React Native.
• French speaking skills.
• Playing golf is a plus.

We are primarily focusing our efforts on our product(s). Therefore, our simulation environment does not yet allow us to work remotely on a regular basis. We are, of course, flexible, and remote work is permitted when the tasks allow for it.
