About the role
- We are looking for a Senior Robotics Engineer with deep expertise in motion planning to join our amazing software team.
- This is a hands-on, high-ownership role that will be the primary technical driver for implementing motion planning and control on our unique multi-axis robotic platform.
- Our system has multiple manipulators that work in concert together in confined spaces where the risk of collision is high.
Responsibilities
- Lead software system definition and integration of custom multi-axis hardware, handling URDF/SRDF modeling, planner selection and tuning, axis grouping, and defining joint-specific motion profiles Engineer fast, efficient collision-aware trajectory planning that can adapt to environmental obstacles and internal kinematic limits.
- Proven ability to build production-grade systems that achieve reliable, sub-second planning under real-world constraints including dynamic obstacles and tight tolerances.
- This role will be responsible for deploying robust path planning and collision avoidance capabilities, working closely with perception, workflow and low-level hardware teams to build a robust and reliable robot unlike any other.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with kinematic solvers such as KDL, TRAC-IK, or equivalent, with a strong understanding of forward and inverse kinematics for serial and parallel manipulators.
- Strong proficiency in C++ and/or Python within the ROS2 ecosystem, with a firm grasp of real-time performance considerations, memory management, and software design patterns.
Nice to have
- BS/MS/PhD in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
