Be a part of the robotics revolution! We are seeking an engineer with a background and a passion for robotics who will lead the development of mobile-robot navigation algorithms. You will be instrumental in the development of Smart+, our solution for smart robots with humans in the loop. You will also pioneer our long-term strategy of assisting robotics companies with open-source modules, developed in conjunction with major ROS partners.
Responsibilities:
Lead development, testing, integration, and deployment of modular navigation systems for indoor, near-door, and outdoor mobile robots
Develop navigation and computer vision algorithms for mobile robots
Participate in robot system design to optimize navigation performance
Design robot APIs. Work with the front-end team to integrate your solutions into the Smart+ platform and back-end team to deploy your solutions in the cloud
Conduct field tests and testing of the navigation systems and other modules of the Smart+ platform
Support remote team in testing Smart+
Contribute to overall architecture design and documentation
Technical qualifications:
Masters (with experience) or PhD in Computer Science/Electrical Engineering/Mechanical Engineering with a focus in robotics, mechatronics, or related fields
Proficient in ROS and C++ or Python: track record of building ROS software on real robots
Experience building nav systems for real robots based on visual or LIDAR SLAM, experience working with open-source SLAM algorithms (e.g. ROS Navigation stack, Cartographer, or ORB SLAM)
Experience with data fusion algorithms for localization (Kalman Filter)
Good knowledge of robotic platforms and robot sensors (IMU, GPS, lidar, cameras, depth sensors, etc)
Good knowledge of Linux platform, its configuration, and command line operations
Track record collaborating on software projects (git)
Knowledge of machine learning techniques
Helpful Additional Skills:
Exposure to Docker, Jenkins, and other tools for deployment
Experience with application of machine learning in robotics, exposure to machine learning frameworks (Caffe2)
Experience collecting robot data for training deep neural networks
Track record of open source contributions and/or personal software/hw projects
Experience with ROS2
