# Mechatronics Engineer
**Company:** [Mariana Minerals](https://hotfix.jobs/companies/mariana-minerals)
**Location:** San Francisco, CA
**Salary:** $140K-$200K
**Experience:** 5+ years
**Skills:** C++, Python, ROS, Ros 2, Lidar, Camera, Radar, Imu, Gnss, Sensor Fusion, Perception, Localization, Motion Planning, Embedded Systems, Real-Time Systems
**Posted:** 2026-06-26
> Build autonomy software and sensor integration for self-driving mining vehicles, covering perception, localization, mapping, planning, and controls. Requires 5-10+ years in robotics/autonomy, C++/Python, ROS, and hands-on sensor fusion experience.
## Job Description
## What You’ll Do
- Develop autonomy software for autonomous mining vehicles — perception, localization, mapping, motion planning, and control
- Integrate and calibrate the sensing suite (LiDAR, cameras, radar, IMU, GNSS), implementing sensor fusion and time synchronization robust to dust, vibration, and corrosion-heavy mining environments
- Build and maintain embedded and real-time software that bridges sensing, compute, and actuation, with attention to safety, latency, and reliability
- Develop simulation, logging, and data pipelines to test autonomy behavior and drive performance against safety and availability targets
- Lead bench, rig, and field validation of the autonomy stack, debugging across the full software-hardware boundary
- Collaborate with hardware and controls engineers to integrate sensing, compute, and actuation into a complete vehicle

## What You’ll Bring
- Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical, or related engineering discipline
- 5-10+ years developing autonomy, robotics, or embedded software, ideally for mobile robots or vehicles
- Strong proficiency in C++ and/or Python, and with a robotics middleware such as ROS/ROS 2
- Hands-on experience with sensor integration and fusion - LiDAR, cameras, radar, IMU, GNSS - and with perception, localization, or motion-planning algorithms
- Working knowledge of real-time and embedded systems, and of the controls and software-hardware integration that drive actuation
- Experience in autonomous vehicles, robotics, automotive, or off-highway equipment strongly preferred
