Remote engineering teams for robotics, autonomous systems, and extended reality
Ekumen delivers distributed engineering teams specialized in robotics and extended reality, with deep stack in ROS, C++, perception tools (VSLAM), and simulation (NVIDIA Omniverse). The project portfolio—mobile robot navigation, fleet management, XR hardware certification, localization—reveals focus on autonomous systems and spatial computing. Hiring remains steady across US, Bulgaria, and Argentina, weighted toward mid and senior engineers, though internal pain points (data pipeline scaling, HR data accuracy) suggest growing operational friction as the remote team expands.
