Robotics Engineer - Navigation focus

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Develop new methods and systems that advance the state of the art in robotics, 3D perception, navigation, and foundation models.
• Adapt standard machine learning models and frameworks to robotics applications (e.g. computer vision, SLAM, navigation).
• Build efficient robotics pipelines integrating sensor fusion, perception models, geometric reasoning, and model inference.
• Define research goals informed by practical engineering concerns.
• Design high fidelity simulation environments that advance sim-to-real transfer and enable faster iteration cycles for deploying new robots.
• Contribute to experiments, including designing experimental details, writing reusable code, running model evaluations, and organizing results.
• Partner with customers to deploy robots with navigation capabilities in real production environments.
• Contribute to publications and open-sourcing efforts.

Job requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Research experience in machine learning, robotics, and computer vision.
• Experience with developing robotics algorithms or machine learning models at scale.
• Programming experience in Python/C++. Good understanding of deep learning frameworks like Pytorch or Jax.
• Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment.
• Master's/PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Direct experience in robotics, computer vision, or machine learning research.
• First author publications at peer-reviewed AI and robotics conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, CVPR, ICML, ICLR, ICRA, IROS, CORL).
