Robotics Software Engineer – Fleet & Integration

About Motion Robotics

At Motion Robotics, we design and build industrial‑grade autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that improve how factories and logistics operations move materials. Motion Robotics is part of the PowerHandling Group, a US‑based company with more than 25 years of experience in material‑handling technologies, and Motion Robotics focuses on autonomous machines.

We are an international team, working in Portugal on a range of AMRs and are now scaling up our operations, moving from ideas to prototypes and prototypes to volume production of machines. Mechanical, electrical and software engineering will all be happening here in Portugal, then expanding production and sales through the US parent, PowerHandling Inc.

We’re a very multi‑cultural team, innovative and driven, that values practical problem‑solving, collaboration, and hands‑on engineering.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Robotics Software Engineer to develop and integrate software features for our mobile robots. You’ll work across software, hardware, and network layers to implement robot behaviors, integrate sensors and actuators, build lightweight front‑end tools and support fleet‑level integration.

This is a hands‑on role where you’ll contribute to projects that span from development to deployment—and see your work running in operational robots across industrial environments. The role involves international travel with flexibility in how often.

What You’ll Do

- Develop and integrate software features for mobile robotic platforms.

- Write and maintain Python scripts executed on the robot.

- Integrate sensors, actuators, and control systems.

- Build or adapt front‑end tools and HMIs (React, Qt, Tkinter, etc.).

- Configure and optimize network infrastructure for robot communication.

- Collaborate with cross‑functional teams on multi‑disciplinary engineering challenges.

What We’re Looking For

- Strong knowledge of Python or similar programming languages.

- Experience interfacing software with hardware (sensors, actuators).

- Familiarity with front‑end frameworks such as React, Qt, or Tkinter.

- Understanding of software development best practices, clean code, and version control (git).

- Ability to learn new languages, frameworks, or tools quickly as projects evolve.

Nice to Have

- Knowledge of kinematics, dynamics, and motion control.

- Prior experience in building to comply with ISO safety accreditation (ISO 3691‑4 and ISO13849‑1).

- Experience with communication protocols: CANopen, Modbus, OPC‑UA, I²C.

- Familiarity with virtual machines, containers, or virtual environments.

- Experience configuring on‑prem or cloud‑based infrastructure (VPNs, routers, servers).

Why You’ll Love Working Here

- See your designs progress from concept to working robots used in real industrial settings.

- Be part of a multidisciplinary team supported by an established U.S. parent company.

- A competitive salary, balanced work life, and career growth opportunities as the company’s engineering and product lines expand.

- Relocation support and eligibility for Portugal’s NHR 2.0 program for foreign engineers (providing an advantageous tax treatment for 10 years).
