Mobile Robotics Business Unit

Department: Mobile Robotics (FMS)

Reporting To: Team Lead – FMS

Location: Gurgaon, India

Experience: 1–3 years

Employment Type: Full-Time

ABOUT NOVUS & THE ROLE

Novus Hi-Tech Robotic Systemz Pvt. Ltd. builds robotics and automation solutions across ADAS, Mobile Robotics, and Defence Robotics. The Mobile Robotics team is looking for a Junior software Developer to support the development and feature enhancement of the Fleet Management System (FMS) — the software platform that orchestrates, monitors, and coordinates fleets of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in real time. This is a hands-on engineering role suited to someone early in their career who wants to build production software that directly controls physical robots operating in live environments.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop and maintain backend services and APIs for the Fleet Management System using Java and Spring Boot.
• Support core FMS functions such as robot task allocation, traffic management, order/mission dispatch, and fleet status monitoring.
• Integrate FMS modules with robot-side software over MQTT / REST / WebSocket for real-time telemetry and command exchange.
• Write and maintain unit, integration, and system tests to ensure reliability of multi-robot coordination logic.
• Work with relational and time-series databases to store fleet, task, and telemetry data.
• Debug and troubleshoot issues across the software stack, including field issues reported from live robot deployments.
• Collaborate with senior developers, robotics engineers, and QA to translate requirements into working features.
• Participate in code reviews, sprint planning, and documentation of FMS modules.
• Support deployment and monitoring of FMS services in staging and production environments.

REQUIRED SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related engineering field.
• 1–3 years of professional software development experience, ideal fitment would be from the FMS mobile robotics domain.
• Strong programming fundamentals in Java, with hands-on experience in Spring Boot (REST APIs, Spring Data, Spring Security basics).
• Working knowledge of relational databases (MySQL/PostgreSQL) and SQL.
• Understanding of object-oriented design, data structures, and multithreading concepts.
• Familiarity with version control (Git) and basic CI/CD workflows.
• Good debugging and problem-solving skills; comfortable reading logs and tracing issues across services.

PREFERRED / GOOD-TO-HAVE SKILLS

• Exposure to messaging/streaming protocols used in robotics (MQTT, WebSocket, Kafka, or similar).
• Familiarity with microservices architecture and containerization (Docker; basic Kubernetes exposure a plus).
• Understanding of ROS/ROS2 concepts or prior exposure to robotics/automation software.
• Experience with time-series or NoSQL databases (InfluxDB, MongoDB, Redis).
• Basic knowledge of path planning, task scheduling, or fleet/traffic management concepts.
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS/Azure) for deployment and monitoring.
• Prior internship or project experience involving IoT, automation, or real-time systems.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge autonomous mobile robotics products deployed in real-world industrial settings.
• Direct mentorship from senior engineers across software and robotics disciplines.
• A fast-growing, cross-functional environment spanning ADAS, Mobile Robotics, and Defence Robotics
