Senior SLAM Engineer (Navigation)

Your Mission

This position is responsible for developing and implementing algorithms that enable autonomous robots to navigate complex environments. Your work will focus on path planning, obstacle avoidance, and efficient docking strategies. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that our robots operate robustly and safely in dynamic, unpredictable environments where robots and humans work closely together.

What To Expect

• Design and implement advanced algorithms for robot navigation to ensure path planning meets operational requirements (e.g., energy efficiency, speed, safety).
• Design and implement efficient docking strategies to achieve fast and high-accuracy docking.
• Develop real-time software solutions for autonomous navigation decisions based on sensor data (e.g., LiDAR, camera).
• Design and implement low-computation, real-time software solutions for obstacle detection and avoidance.
• Optimize and tune navigation and docking algorithms based on hardware capabilities.
• Develop software bridges to facilitate effective communication between different software solutions.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with more than three years of industry experience.
• Strong proficiency in programming languages such as C++, Python, and ROS (Robot Operating System).
• Proven experience in autonomous robot navigation, including path planning, obstacle avoidance, and docking.
• Experience with motion planning algorithms and techniques (e.g., A*, D*, RRT, SLAM).
• Familiarity with real-time systems, control theory, and optimization methods.
• Strong understanding of robot kinematics and dynamics and their relation to navigation and control.
• Experience in Test-Driven Development (TDD).
