Forward Deployed Engineer (ROS2) - US

Remote – United States (Candidates must currently be based in the USA) Employment Type Full-Time Visa H1B Sponsorship Available About the Role Fireloop is building the critical infrastructure that bridges advanced robotics research with real-world production environments. We are hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) who will work at the intersection of robotics software, deployment, and client integration. This role focuses on executing and integrating robotics systems in real-world environments rather than pure research and algorithm development. The ideal candidate understands how robotics systems work, can debug them when they fail, and ensures reliable production performance. Key Responsibilities Define, simulate, and train pre-go-live scenarios using Isaac SIM and Isaac Lab Deploy robotics software stacks in client environments (cloud and edge) Write, debug, and configure ROS/ROS2 nodes Manage message passing, coordinate transforms (TF2), and launch configurations Troubleshoot real-world system issues using logs and network analysis Work closely with senior engineers to learn best practices in robotics infrastructure Provide field feedback to improve product reliability Required Qualifications BS/MS in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or related field Strong conceptual understanding of ROS / ROS2 (Nodes, Topics, Services, Actions) Proficiency in Python (required) Ability to read and debug C++ Strong Computer Science fundamentals (Data Structures & Algorithms) Solid understanding of Linear Algebra and robotics math Comfortable working in Linux (Ubuntu, SSH, shell scripting) Familiarity with Git and basic Docker usage Preferred Qualifications Experience with robotics simulators (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo) Exposure to AWS, Azure, or GCP Experience working with sensor data (Lidar, Cameras, IMUs) Why Join Fireloop Exposure to real-world robotics deployment challenges High-impact role with strong learning opportunities Fully remote role within the United States H1B sponsorship available for high-potential candidates #J-18808-Ljbffr
