Senior Robotics Research Engineer

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the design of novel robotic systems through software development, including control, perception, planning, with classical and learned methods; applying state‑of‑the‑art methods, or creating new ones as needed.
• Enable research into learned models by working with hardware engineers, technicians, and researchers to build and integrate new robotics technologies.
• Work with robotics research scientists toward applying and integrating research toward more robust, perceptive, and scalable systems.
• Design and integrate creative system solutions; combining actuation, structure, and sensing, as well as new mechanisms and sensory for human‑scale manipulation and dexterity.

• B.S. or higher in an engineering related field and 6+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Strong software engineering skills; very comfortable with working in mixed Python and C++ codebase.
• The ability to design and deploy integrated systems that complement and bring to bear advanced software and learning algorithms.
• Deep multi‑functional understanding of all levels of a robotic system including both hardware and software, with experience operating robots.
• Experience with a full‑stack approach to robotics, including familiarity with electromechanical systems and actuation, as well as practical software design.
• Familiarity with physical/embodied AI methods and training machine‑learned policies.
• Experience with inter‑ and in‑process communication, parallelism, logging, networking and data systems, and common methods.
• Familiarity with classical motion planning and robotic control.
