At Nordbo Robotics, we're looking for a Senior Robotics Software Developer to join our team and help shape the future of intuitive industrial automation.

We're at the forefront of robotic surface processing — developing cutting-edge technology that combines advanced motion planning, external tracking systems, and learning from demonstration. Our robotics software platforms allow skilled craftspeople to teach robots surface-processing tasks through demonstration, and our solutions are used across aerospace, automotive, marine, and general manufacturing for coating, grinding, sanding, polishing, deburring, and more.

What you'll do

• Develop and maintain software for our robotic platforms, working on motion planning, path generation, and robot control

• Build robust, production-ready systems that run reliably in industrial environments

• Implement and optimize algorithms for surface processing applications — translating craft knowledge into robot motion

• Integrate our software with various robot platforms and industrial hardware

• Work with calibration routines and external tracking systems

• Work across the full stack from low-level robot communication to application logic

• Contribute to our C++ codebase on Linux

• Help deploy and support solutions at customer sites when needed

What you'll bring

• Degree in Computer Science, Robotics Engineering, or equivalent experience

• 5+ years of professional experience in robotics or industrial software development

• Strong C++ and Linux development skills

• Solid understanding of software architecture and system design

• Experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing

• Experience with 3D math, linear algebra, and geometric transformations

• Experience working with cobot or industrial robot platforms (UR, FANUC, KUKA, Yaskawa, Kawasaki, or similar)

• Understanding of robot kinematics, motion planning, and control systems

• Experience leveraging AI tools to accelerate development workflows (GitHub Copilot, Claude, or similar) — from code completion to prompt-driven workflows.

• Good communication skills and a collaborative mindset

Nice to have:

• Experience with robot calibration or external tracking systems (OptiTrack, HTC Vive, or similar)

• Experience with force/torque control, compliant motion, or real-time systems

• Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (EtherCAT, PROFINET, TCP/IP)

• Experience with path planning for surface processing or CAD/CAM workflows

• Knowledge of Docker and containerized deployment

• Experience with gRPC or Qt
