Description

LionsBot builds autonomous cleaning robots deployed globally in airports, hospitals, malls, and public spaces. As Autonomy Product Lead, you will own the autonomy performance, field reliability, and release quality of the LionsBot Robot Family — the frontline of how our robots behave in the real world. This role sits at the intersection of engineering and deployment. You are the primary bridge between our RST field teams, our customers, and the core autonomy engineering team. You triage and close field issues, commission new deployment sites to specification, sign off every software release for your product line, and translate field data into the roadmap priorities that make our robots measurably better. You will lead a team of 2–3 autonomy engineers, own their development, and build a team that handles field issues and site deployments independently — without constant escalation to the core autonomy team. What You Will Be Doing * Own the autonomy performance KPIs for the LionsBot Robot Family — navigation success rate, SLAM stability, collision frequency, recovery rate, and coverage efficiency — tracked, published, and improving every release. * Be the first technical escalation point for RST field issues — triage within 4 hours, reproduce within 24 hours for P0/P1, root cause and close within 2 sprint cycles. * Commission new deployment sites to autonomy acceptance criteria — map quality, SLAM initialisation, navigation validation, docking reliability — and sign off handover only when the robot performs to specification. * Own the autonomy release gate for the LionsBot Robot Family — define acceptance criteria, execute or oversee full regression (simulation + HIL + field soak), and deliver explicit go/no-go decisions with documented rationale. * Translate field data into structured backlog items with reproduction cases, field frequency data, and proposed acceptance criteria — participate in >=80% of autonomy sprint planning sessions. * Debug cross-module autonomy failures independently across navigation, SLAM, perception, and behaviour trees — without requiring core team engineers to reproduce every issue. * Tune parameters across the full autonomy stack with documented before/after metrics — planner settings, SLAM keyframe configurations, perception thresholds, and BT recovery logic. * Lead 2–3 autonomy engineers — structured 1:1s, debugging skill development, deployment competency, and team retention. * Produce monthly field incident summaries and quarterly autonomy risk reviews for Product, and RST leadership. * Build and maintain the site configuration library, commissioning playbook, and field issue regression suite for the LionsBot Robot Family. What You Will Need * Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. * 5+ years of experience in autonomy or robotics software — with at least 2 years in a field-facing or product-facing role with deployed robots. * Full-stack autonomy debugging ability — can trace failures across navigation, SLAM, perception, and behaviour modules from field logs without reproducing on hardware. * Experience owning field issue escalation triage and closure for a deployed autonomous system — not just participating in it. * Real-world robot commissioning experience — has deployed autonomous robots at customer sites and achieved acceptance criteria under real conditions. * Release sign-off experience — has owned a software release gate with explicit go/no-go accountability. * Proficiency in ROS2, C++, and Python; familiarity with SLAM frameworks, Nav2, and BT.CPP. * Strong communication skills — clear field issue updates to RST and Product, clear technical briefs to engineering, no jargon when jargon is not needed. * Experience leading a small team of engineers in a technical, delivery-focused environment. * Good to have: CI/CD regression pipeline experience for autonomy software; autonomous vehicle, AMR fleet, or service robotics background.

Responsibilities

Own the autonomy performance, field reliability, and software release quality for the LionsBot Robot Family. Lead a small team of engineers to triage field issues and commission new deployment sites to specification.
