Senior Robotics Motion Planning Engineer Motion Recruitment - 3.7 Woburn, MA Job Details Full-time 1 hour ago Benefits Stock options Health insurance Dental insurance Vision insurance Qualifications Software engineering Production systems System development Motor control equipment Robot simulation Full Job Description A fast-growing robotics company in the Boston area is reinventing automotive service through cutting-edge robotics and automation. Their technology combines ROS 2, MoveIt 2, multi-axis robotic systems, motion planning, collision avoidance, and advanced trajectory control to automate tire changing and wheel balancing. This is a unique opportunity for a Senior Robotics Engineer to become the technical owner of motion planning for a robotic platform unlike anything you've worked on before. You'll be working directly with physical robots-not just simulations-solving challenging problems around multi-axis motion, kinematics, collision avoidance, and real-time trajectory execution. The team is small, highly technical, and hands-on, giving you the opportunity to have a major influence on architecture and technical direction while taking your robotics expertise from development all the way into real-world production and field deployment. Required Skills & Experience 2+ years of hands-on experience with MoveIt or MoveIt 2 in production or near-production systems Deep expertise in motion planning algorithms including

RRT, RRT

•, PRM, CHOMP, STOMP, or TrajOpt Strong C++ and/or Python experience within the ROS 2 ecosystem Strong understanding of forward and inverse kinematics Experience with kinematic solvers such as KDL, TRAC-IK, or equivalent Experience with collision avoidance and safety-aware motion planning Experience configuring
