About the role
Robotics Software Developer (E3)
About Us
We are Ocado Technology (previously part of the Kindred acquisition) and we empower global grocery retailers with cutting-edge cloud, robotics, AI, and IoT. Our intelligent automation product engineering development center is in Toronto, Canada, where a team of brilliant engineers are developing disruptive material handling systems for the online grocery industry and other retail verticals. We aim to enhance the lives of human workers with the power of AI robotics, by developing robots to solve real-world problems. If you are excited about the cross-section where machines meet humans, about the future of work, retail and supply chains, and want to help transform the grocery logistics industry, we are interested in getting to know you.
Every day will bring new and exciting challenges on the job while you:
- Develop, evaluate and optimize algorithms related to the production of advanced robotic products
- Implement new control algorithms and experiment/characterize physical hardware
- Performing simulation runs to validate mathematical models, new parameters, and algorithms
- Investigate new technologies, identify bottlenecks, improve processes, create roadmaps, and further robotics software development and robotics research at Ocado
- Mentor, grow, and motivate junior team members, interns, and peers
What you bring:
-
Experience programming with Python, C, and/or C++
-
Experience in robotics, machine learning, and optimization.
-
Understanding of modelling and control algorithms for robotic systems
-
Understanding of learning-based algorithms and their application to robotic systems
-
Experience working with robotic sensors such as cameras and force sensors
-
Ability to work in a team and transfer knowledge
Bonus qualifications:
-
Master's or Doctorate degree in engineering with a focus in robotics or similar experience
-
Experience modelling robotic manipulators
-
Experience with adaptive, optimal, and learning-based control for robotic manipulation
-
Familiarity with robotic applications that involve contact with the environment and manipulation
-
Experience working with different robotic grippers
-
Experience using physics-based simulation to develop robot control policies
-
Experience with real time control

About Ocado Group
We’re Ocado Group - a global, technology business redefining ecommerce, fulfilment and logistics in online grocery and distribution industries. Our cutting-edge, proprietary technology enables our partners and customers to win in their markets, develop a competitive advantage and offer an unparalleled customer proposition.
Our mission is simple — to change the way the world shops for good.
Our heritage as the UK’s largest pure-play online grocer through Ocado Retail LTD (a 50:50 joint venture with M&S), and expertise in high-performing logistics and fulfilment through Ocado Logistics, has equipped us with technology innovation, expertise and operational know-how to build and innovate the Ocado Smart Platform (OSP). OSP is the world’s leading ecommerce, fulfilment and logistics platform designed for the unique demands of online grocery and trusted by leading online grocery retailers worldwide.
Now, with Ocado Intelligent Automation (OIA), our unparalleled experience and proven automated retrieval and storage technology is helping businesses outside of online grocery future-proof their fulfilment operations.
