The role is best suited for early-career to mid-level engineers who are ready to grow their technical ownership while working on real-world autonomy systems. Experience in robotics or autonomous driving is a plus, not a strict requirement. ## What You Will Do - Build and improve core autonomy functionality in planning, control, and estimation pipelines - Design, implement, and maintain robust Python and C++ software for production use - Help translate product and operational needs into practical technical solutions - Improve system reliability, performance, and maintainability across modules - Investigate complex issues using logs, simulation, and operational data, and contribute to durable fixes - Develop test and validation workflows to support safe and confident releases - Contribute to engineering quality through design reviews, code reviews, and better development practices Required Qualifications - Strong software engineering fundamentals and hands-on C++ development experience - Solid grasp of linear algebra, calculus, and geometry, and the ability to translate mathematical concepts into working software - Experience developing non-trivial software systems through professional work, research, or substantial projects - Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, including the ability to investigate issues systematically - Experience writing clean, testable, maintainable code - Effective collaboration and communication skills in team environments - Willingness to take responsibility for assigned problems and follow them through implementation and validation ## Preferred Qualifications - Robotics, autonomous driving, or other real-time/safety-critical system experience - Practical understanding of planning, control, and/or state estimation systems - Experience with simulation-based development and validation - Experience with Linux-based development and CI/CD workflows - Experience owning a software feature or component from implementation through testing and integration Leveling (Junior/Mid) - Junior-level engineers are expected to contribute to features and modules with guidance, while developing stronger system-level understanding and gradually taking on more ownership - Mid-level engineers are expected to independently own features or modules, make sound implementation decisions, and contribute to technical design ## Why Join Us - Work on autonomy software that controls individual vehicles and entire fleets in real-world deployment, where your decisions directly affect safety and performance - Collaborate with a strong cross-functional team solving practical, high-value problems - Grow from hands-on execution to larger technical ownership over time Recruitment Process Application Review - Tech Interviews (2-3 rounds) - CEO Screening - Reference Check - Offer (Please be aware that the recruitment processes & schedules may be changed depending on the job and/or other circumstances) ## Benefits ▷ Diversity - International team (10+ nationalities) ▷ Flexible work hours ▷ Hybrid work ▷ 10 days of paid sick leave ▷ Daily meal support ▷ No dress code ▷ Premium health check (Once a year) ▷ Snacks and premium coffee Seoul Robotics stands for an open and respectful corporate culture because we believe diversity helps us to find new perspectives. Seoul Robotics ensures that all our members have equal opportunities – regardless of age, ethnic origin and nationality, gender and gender identity, physical and mental abilities, religion and belief, sexual orientation, and social background. We always ensure diversity right from the recruitment stage and therefore make hiring decisions based on a candidate’s actual competencies, qualifications, and business needs at the point of the time.

[Seoul Robotics Talent Acquisition e-mail: talent@seoulrobotics.org] ## About Seoul Robotics ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Seoul Robotics provides infrastructure-based autonomous driving technology to automate vehicle movement in factories, logistics hubs, and ports. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series B) - **Headquarters**: Seoul, South Korea - **Founded**: 14 August 2017 - **Founders**: HanBin Lee (CEO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Autonomous driving technology for logistics and industrial applications. - **Target customers**: B2B – automotive OEMs (e.g., BMW, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz), logistics operators, port authorities, and large-scale manufacturing facilities. - **Mission or purpose**: To bring reliable and robust autonomous driving to logistics and industrial use cases, enabling societies with aging workforces to prosper without interruption. ## Products & Services - **AVM (Automated Vehicle Marshalling)**: An infrastructure-based autonomous driving platform that automates the entire vehicle movement process inside factories and large logistics hubs. It controls hundreds of vehicles simultaneously with centimeter-level precision and is vehicle-agnostic (works with any make, model, or powertrain). The platform has obtained global certification and is commercially deployable. - **ATS (Advanced Technology Solutions)**: A sensor-fusion solution using LiDAR, cameras, and machine learning to detect vehicles, trains, pedestrians, and analyze traffic events. It provides real-time and recorded data for safety and efficiency. - **AYT (Autonomous Yard Technology)**: A service that retrofits yard tractors in ports with autonomous driving capabilities, enabling safe and effective operations in complex environments day and night, even in adverse weather. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed. - **Key Metric**: Total funding of $35M+ (Series B as of 2025). Annual revenue reported at KRW 4.2B (approx. $3.2M USD). - **Notable Investors/Partners**: BMW, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, Mando, Qualcomm, Woowa Bros. (alumni connections). - **Growth Signals**: 30% year-over-year headcount growth (51 employees), active job postings increasing monthly (+50%) and quarterly (+140%), international offices in Korea, Germany, and the US, and clients across four continents. ## Competitive Advantages - **Infrastructure-based approach**: Unlike vehicle-only autonomy, Seoul Robotics’ AVM platform manages entire fleets via infrastructure, enabling scalable, multi-vehicle coordination. - **Vehicle-agnostic compatibility**: Works with any car, truck, or yard tractor regardless of make, model, or powertrain (electric, hydrogen, diesel). - **Proven commercial deployment**: First to earn global certification for infrastructure-based autonomous marshalling; already deployed in real-world environments. - **Self-learning AI**: The system continuously learns and improves from operational data, maintaining high precision and reliability. ## Strategic Focus - **Addressing workforce shortages**: Targeting aging societies in Asia (especially Japan and South Korea) by automating logistics tasks that are difficult to staff. - **Industrial and logistics expansion**: Prioritizing factories, yards, and ports as immediate high-impact markets, with plans to scale across more geographies and use cases. - **Continued R&D**: Investing in AI, sensor fusion, and fleet orchestration to maintain a technology lead. ## Why Work Here - **Global & diverse team**: Over 20% of employees come from international backgrounds; 13 nationalities represented in headquarters. English is the working language, and the culture is free from discrimination based on nationality or background. - **Hybrid & flexible work**: Hybrid work program, flexible hours, and no dress code. - **Relocation & visa support**: Visa sponsorship and relocation bonuses for global talent. - **Professional development**: Company covers costs for books, training courses, and conferences. - **Compensation & perks**: Premium annual health check-ups, group accident insurance, holiday gifts, daily lunch, unlimited coffee and snacks, 10 days paid sick leave, and support for long-term savings (Naeil Chaeum Mutual Aid). - **Culture**: Values respect, responsibility, immersion, and excellence. Horizontal structure with open communication. Interviews are primarily conducted online. - **Engineering focus**: Technical roles make up 38% of the workforce; the team includes machine learning engineers, computer vision specialists, and system engineers working on cutting-edge autonomy. ## Sources 1.
