Robotics Software Engineer

Write ROS 2 code that ships through a safety review.

Pairs the CS + systems substrate with Phase R's standards literacy (ISO 10218-1:2025, functional safety, collaborative modes, PFL testing) and the ROS 2 + ROS-Industrial lesson. Phase R is currently standards-heavy; the code-teaching depth will deepen as Phase R gains hands-on lesson modules.

What you'll be able to do

Ship a ROS 2 application against URsim with a documented safety case that maps to a R15.06-2025 risk-assessment package.

Recommended electives

Not required, but deepen the path.

Phase 8: Professional Practice
~200h
Professional practice.

A note on status: Some phases on this path are standards-literacy focused rather than code-teaching focused. The path is runnable today and adds real value, but hands-on lesson modules will deepen over time.
