Job Summary
We are seeking a Research Engineer to design implement and integrate Visual-Language Models (VLMs) into autonomous mobile robots platform. The role focuses on enabling high-level semantic reasoning perceptionlanguage grounding and decision-making in robotic systems. The engineer will interface VLMs with navigation mapping and control pipelines to support end-to-end system experimentation. Responsibilities include building simulation environments conducting experimental evaluations and supporting rapid prototyping. The role contributes to translating simulation-validated methods toward real-world robotic deployment and bridges robotics simulation multimodal AI and autonomous navigation research.
Key Responsibilities:
Design implement and integrate Visual-Language Models (VLMs) into simulation and robotic platforms to enable semantic reasoning perceptionlanguage grounding and decision-making.
Interface VLM-based modules with robot navigation mapping localization planning and control systems to support end-to-end autonomous operation.
Build and maintain simulation environments multimodal datasets and evaluation frameworks handling data volumes from tens to hundreds of gigabytes.
Conduct experimental studies using GPU-enabled computing resources for model training inference and simulation-based evaluation.
Support rapid prototyping and iteration of research ideas from concept to validated robotic systems and demonstrations.
Collaborate with and provide technical support to research staff and students across multiple projects.
Contribute to research outputs including publications technical disclosures patents and autonomous robot demonstrations.
Apply and recommend engineering best practices that promote reproducibility maintainability and research productivity.
Job Requirements:
Bachelors degree (BEng/BSc) in Robotics Computer Science Electrical or Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline; candidates with strong robotics and autonomous system experience from other disciplines may be considered.
Proficiency in Python with experience in ROS/ ROS2 and Linux-based development environments.
Familiarity with robotic simulation platforms and 3D modelling tools.
Hands-on experience in autonomous robotics projects; exposure to deep learning or reinforcement learning is a plus.
Strong problem-solving ability collaborative and independent work style willingness to learn new tools.
We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
