Senior Robotics Engineer: Software

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement algorithms, systems, and architecture for high-DOF robotic systems in manufacturing environments.
• Configure, troubleshoot, and develop low-latency, robust interfaces for high-bandwidth, high-throughput sensor data.
• Develop computer vision and perception algorithms using multimodal sensing for 3D geometry reconstruction, segmentation, and inspection.
• Develop fast and robust high-DOF motion-planning algorithms in the presence of obstacles, using knowledge of kinematics and dynamics.
• Develop high-performance, production-ready software packages and systems using GPU programming and other hardware acceleration methods.
• Stay current with research and novel findings in robotics and artificial intelligence.
• Test and evaluate state-of-the-art algorithms and techniques for planning, learning, perception, and control.
• Maintain knowledge of the product and related hardware to provide technical assistance to internal and external teams at company and customer facilities.
• Identify and resolve complex and stochastic software issues through systematic debugging.
• Allocate approximately 40% of time to application-team support for proofs of concept, factory acceptance tests, and deployments.
• Travel to client locations as needed for on-site system-level debugging.

Requirements
