Job Summary

Job Description

We are seeking an exceptional Member of Technical Staff, Robotics Engineer to join our cutting-edge Robotics and AI team. The ideal candidate brings deep, hands-on experience in autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), aerial drones, and, ideally, humanoid robots. You will play a strategic and technical leadership role in developing intelligent, autonomous systems across various platforms. This role requires a strong foundation in embedded systems, a solid grasp of neural networks and AI, and an up-to-date understanding of advancements in Generative AI (GenAI). Expertise in Lidar-based SLAM and Visual SLAM is critical for success in this role.
Must have:
  • Lead architecture, design, and development of software and hardware systems for AMRs, drones, and/or humanoid robots.
  • Develop and deploy perception, localization, and navigation systems using Lidar-based and Visual SLAM techniques.
  • Design real-time embedded systems to interface with sensors, actuators, and compute platforms.
  • Integrate deep learning models for object detection, motion planning, behavior prediction, and scene understanding.
  • Contribute to or lead R&D efforts related to Generative AI and its applications in robotics.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams.
  • Evaluate and integrate sensors such as cameras, IMUs, LIDARs, and ultrasonic systems.
  • Mentor junior engineers and provide strategic input.
  • Master’s or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in robotics systems design, with a focus on AMRs and/or drones.
  • Proficiency in C/C++, Python, and ROS/ROS2 frameworks.
  • Proven experience with SLAM systems (Lidar-based and visual).
  • Hands-on expertise with embedded systems, RTOS, and board-level debugging.
  • Solid understanding of deep learning frameworks and their deployment on edge devices.
  • Familiarity with Generative AI models.
Good to have:
  • Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and simulation platforms.
  • Knowledge of real-time computer vision, 3D mapping, and autonomous decision-making.
  • Familiarity with safety, compliance, and fail-safe system design for autonomous platforms.
  • Contributions to open-source robotics or AI projects.
  • Demonstrated innovation through patents or publications.
  • Experience with humanoid robotics.
