Senior/Staff Robotics Engineer

As a Senior/Staff Robotics Engineer, you will be integral in driving the company's next phase of innovation - automating industrial processes to address the scarcity of skilled labor. Your main focus will be on R&D and will involve building and showcasing a demonstrator that utilizes industrial robot arms to automate currently manual tasks.

What you'll do

• Lead R&D efforts to prototype a new robotic manipulator, conducting rigorous testing to validate design specifications and performance criteria.
• Work with industry-standard hardware platforms (e.g., ROS-compatible robots, specific sensor suites) to develop and deploy robotic manipulators for real world testing.
• Develop and implement models for hybrid dynamical systems exhibiting both continuous and discrete dynamic behaviors, specifically in robotic manipulators.
• Design advanced planning algorithms to optimize manipulation tasks such as pick-and-place operations.
• Design and develop middleware and software solutions tailored for robotic manipulation applications.
• Develop perception algorithms for object pose estimation, matching, and instance segmentation to aid in manipulation tasks.

What you'll need

• Ph.D. in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field, with a strong emphasis on robotics.
• Minimum of 1-2 years of experience in robotics research or development.
• Proven experience in modeling, planning, and controlling hybrid dynamical systems for robotic manipulation.
• Hands-on experience with machine learning techniques applied to robotic manipulation tasks.
• Strong programming skills in C++, Python, and familiarity with ROS (Robot Operating System).
• Fluency in English is mandatory.

Nice to have

• Experience with simulation tools such as Nvidia Isaac SIM, Gazebo, V-REP, CUDA for robotic manipulation.
• Proficiency with machine learning libraries like TensorFlow or PyTorch.

What they offer

• Employee Share Options Program for all permanent employees.
• Urban Sports club and quarterly team retreats.
• Flat hierarchy, open 360° feedback, and flexible working hours.
• Diverse team with cutting-edge projects and real-world impact.
