Pinetown: Mechatronic Engineer posted by Network Finance

As a Mechatronic Engineer specializing in ROS2, you will be responsible for the design, integration, and implementation of robotic subsystems that combine mechanical, electrical, and software components. You will play a key role in developing autonomous and semi-autonomous platforms for industrial and/or research applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and integrate robotic systems using ROS2 (Robot Operating System 2)
• Design and prototype mechatronic assemblies including actuators, sensors, and embedded controllers
• Write and maintain ROS2 nodes for real-time robotic behavior
• Work with perception systems, motion planning, and control algorithms
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including software, mechanical, and electrical engineers
• Perform testing, debugging, and validation of robotic platforms
• Contribute to system documentation and compliance with safety standards

Requirements

• Degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering (or related field)
• Hands-on experience with ROS2 (required), including middleware (DDS), nodes, launch files, and parameter management
• Strong knowledge of kinematics, control systems, and sensor integration
• Proficiency in C++ and/or Python
• Familiarity with hardware interfaces (CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, etc.)
• Experience with Linux-based development environments (e.g., Ubuntu)
• Excellent problem-solving and teamwork skills
