Role: Robotics Software - Planning & Controls
Location: SF Bay Area (in-person)
About the role
We’re looking for an experienced Planning & Controls Engineer to join our team. As an early member, you will play a pivotal role in building and shaping the AI capabilities of our robots. You will work on challenging planning/control problems around manipulation and navigation in dynamic outdoor environments. You'll need to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment where you'll wear multiple hats and have a direct impact on our product's evolution. Ideally, you have a proven track record of developing and deploying planning/control systems in production, and you're passionate about pushing the boundaries of what's possible in robotics with AI.
What you’ll get to work on
- Develop and deploy state-of-the-art planning and control techniques for challenging manipulation and navigation problems.
- Help drive our technical approach, with particular focus on real-world deployments.
- Research and develop techniques around generating real-time, safe, efficient trajectories for multiple embodiments like robot manipulators and mobile robots.
- Develop scalable planning representations for classical and learned techniques.
- Leverage GPUs to generate and evaluate trajectories at scale.
- Enable real-time, closed-loop control leveraging classical algorithms and ML.
- Develop simulation techniques and metrics to benchmark and evaluate performance.
- Collaborate with other teams in the company.
What we look for
- M.S/Ph.D degree in robotics, vision, computer science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or other engineering disciplines (or equivalent experience).
- 4+ years of hands-on experience developing planning/control solutions for robotics applications like manipulation and navigation.
- Experience working on one or more of trajectory generation, optimization, sampling, cost/reward shaping and control.
- Experience working with robotics simulation infrastructure (e.g. Isaac Sim, Gazebo).
- Proficient with C++ and comfortable with Python.
- Should be comfortable taking ownership of tasks with light supervision.
- Must have excellent problem-solving skills.
- Legally authorized to work in the United States.
