Job Summary
Your Team
The Mission Team at Verity ensures the seamless operation of our autonomous drone fleets enabling precise and efficient data collection in dynamic warehouse environments. Were pushing our drones toward greater autonomy advancing 3D perception machine vision mapping collision avoidance and intelligent decision-making so every flight operates safely and reliably even in complex unknown environments.
What Youll Work On
- Push the state of the art in autonomous exploration and mapping of unknown 3D environments under real-time and compute constraints.
- Own the design development and optimization of the autonomy software that runs onboard our drones in real time with a focus on robustness and reliability.
- Take collision avoidance and obstacle handling to the next level ensuring drones operate safely in complex dynamic environments.
- Contribute to the cloud backend systems that coordinate multi-drone fleet operations bridging onboard autonomy with fleet-level planning.
- Collaborate with other engineering teams to integrate perception planning and flight execution into one reliable autonomy rigorous testing and validation in simulation on the bench and in the field and provide technical support to troubleshoot and resolve issues.
Your Experience
- MSc (or higher) in robotics control systems computer science or a related field with 4 years of industry experience in autonomous systems or robotics.
- Strong hands-on proficiency in modern C (performance reliability maintainability) and familiarity with Python.
- Solid foundation in robotics perception and state estimation - e.g. 3D mapping sensor fusion probabilistic filtering SLAM and machine vision.
- Experience with motion planning and/or autonomous navigation and a good intuition for how sensing and estimation feed into safe robot behavior.
- Ability to quickly understand navigate and improve a large existing codebase; strong debugging profiling and refactoring skills on embedded systems with real-time requirements.
- Familiarity with drone technology embedded systems or real-time / safety-critical control software is highly desirable.
Who You Are
