Senior Robotics Engineer

Senior Robotics Engineer – Job Specifications

Key Objective

Octobotics specializes in the development and distribution of NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) robots for the Oil & Gas, Offshore, and Chemical industries.

These robots are operated by NDT professionals, who are not Computer Science Engineers (CSE), and are primarily used for acquiring NDT data of industrial assets such as oil storage tanks, chemical tanks, and structural components in oil refineries.

The robots are designed to store and transmit high-bandwidth NDT data (ranging from 50-80 Mbps), which is later localized on a digital twin of these industrial assets. This ensures accurate monitoring of asset health and structural integrity.

Key Responsibilities & Considerations

1. Operational Considerations

• Implement safety measures for communication loss, fault-proof operation, and self-monitoring error diagnostics.
• Design and enhance an automated, level-based alert system for error detection and reporting.
• Ensure robots are capable of localizing NDT readings on industrial structures.
• 50-75% of these operational features have already been implemented, but further optimization is required.
• Within the next 3-6 months, the development focus will be on :
• Developing a CI / CD framework for streamlined updates and integration.
• Migrating the system to ROS 2.
• Transitioning all drivers and wrappers, which have been developed from the ground up, to a more robust infrastructure.
• Ensuring all development aligns with C++ as the primary programming language and ROS as the middleware.

2. Performance Considerations

3. Team & Resource Management ( Only Applicable to Team Lead )

4. Future Development & Challenges

This role is ideal for a passionate robotics engineer who thrives on solving complex challenges and is eager to shape the future of autonomous NDT robots in industrial applications.
