Senior Robotics Research Engineer

• 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. • A track record of relevant publications in top international conferences (RSS, NeurIPS, ICML, CoRL, ICRA, IROS, …) • Background or familiarity with some of the following: motion control and actuation, whole-body control, robot teleoperation methods, common communication protocols, research robotic arms/systems, visual perception and depth sensors, machine learning, robotic simulation, force and tactile sensing systems, haptic interfaces.
