About the role
Tackle complex and exciting robotics problems in a rapidly growing industry, with a team of world-class professionals. We work smart, leveraging open source with the latest algorithms, research, and techniques.
Responsibilities
- Coordinate arms and mobile bases so robots can drive up, perceive, and manipulate anywhere in an unstructured environment.
- Plan and execute synchronized motion across multiple arms in real-time C++, with collision-aware trajectories.
- Detect and localize objects, plan collision-free grasps, and place them with precision — the core loop behind assembly, kitting, and machine tending.
- Reconstruct a scene from camera and depth data, then plan collision-free motion through it on the fly — perception and planning working as one closed loop.
- Develop and integrate advanced manipulation algorithms using the latest AI technology such as VLMs, VLAs, segmentation models, and more.
Requirements
- 11+ years of experience in robotics, automation, or related fields.
- Experience with C++ and ROS.
- Strong background in computer vision, machine learning, and control systems.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
- Passion for robotics and a desire to push the boundaries of what is possible with manipulation technologies.
Qualifications
- BS/MS in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Experience with Python, TensorFlow, and other relevant programming languages.
- Knowledge of sensor fusion, SLAM, and localization techniques.
- Experience with hardware development and integration.
Skills
- Advanced understanding of robotics and automation principles.
- Experience with ROS and its ecosystem.
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work under pressure.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
Benefits
- Competitive salary and benefits package.
