Job Summary
Your mission
We are looking for an exceptionalAutonomy Engineerto join our robotics development team and take a central role in advancing the autonomous capabilities of our indoor inspection drones. This role involves the development and integration of cutting-edge algorithms for sensor fusion localization mapping obstacle avoidance and autonomous navigation. Youll work closely with a multidisciplinary team to bring advanced autonomy features into real-world deployments. Were seeking someone with a strong academic and practical background in robotics who can make an immediate impact and grow with the team as we scale.
Responsibilities:
- Design develop and integrate core autonomy components including:
- Sensor fusion (e.g. IMU camera LiDAR)
- Localization and SLAM algorithms
- Obstacle detection and avoidance
- Path planning and autonomous navigation
- Validate and test algorithms in simulation and real-world environments.
- Collaborate with software control and hardware engineers to ensure smooth system integration.
- Optimize autonomy stacks for robustness real-time performance and reliability in indoor environments.
- Contribute to system architecture decisions and roadmap for autonomy-related features.
- Analyze data from field tests and iterate on algorithms based on experimental results.
- Participate in code reviews and maintain high software quality standards.
Your profile
- PhD or equivalent experience in Robotics Computer Vision Autonomous Systems or a closely related field.
- Strong track record in developing and deploying real-time autonomy systems preferably in robotics or aerial platforms.
- Deep understanding of localization mapping (SLAM) sensor fusion and motion planning algorithms.
- Proficiency in C and Python with experience in robotics middleware (e.g. ROS/ROS2).
- Experience working with perception sensors such as cameras IMUs and LiDAR.
- Familiarity with simulation tools and environments (e.g. Gazebo Isaac Sim or custom frameworks).
