• Build robust pipelines for real time detection, recognition, tracking, and scene understanding.

• Implement frameworks for training, testing, and deploying AI models on embedded and edge devices.

Estimation & Sensor Fusion

• Design algorithms for state estimation, localization, and mapping (e.g., SLAM, visual inertial odometry).

• Build and maintain sensor fusion pipelines combining LiDAR, cameras, IMU, radar, and GNSS.

• Implement probabilistic filters (Kalman, EKF/UKF, Particle) for robust estimation under uncertainty.

• Support robustness through time synchronization, calibration, and sensor noise management.

Controls & Planning

• Develop and implement control strategies from PID and adaptive controllers to Model Predictive Control (MPC).

• Create trajectory tracking and motion planning algorithms that handle noisy inputs and dynamic environments.

• Support research into robust target tracking and disturbance rejection.

• Help optimize control architectures for stability, safety, and performance in both simulation and real world testing.

System Integration & Deployment

• Integrate estimation, perception, and control modules into robotic systems, ensuring seamless hardware and software interoperability.

• Conduct simulations, validation, and field tests to evaluate performance.

• Optimize algorithms for real time execution on CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs.

Collaboration & Growth

• Work closely with senior engineers and technical leads to solve complex robotics challenges.

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams in hardware, embedded systems, and software.

• Stay current with advances in robotics, AI, perception, estimation, and controls, and bring new ideas into applied solutions.

Qualifications

• 2+ Experience in robotics engineering, with strong proficiency in C++ and Python for robotics and AI development.

• Hands on experience with robotics frameworks such as ROS or ROS2.

• Working knowledge of SLAM and LiDAR based perception systems.

• Exposure to reinforcement learning algorithms in simulation or on real robots.

• Familiarity with cloud based robotics platforms (e.g., AWS RoboMaker, Azure IoT Hub, Google Cloud Robotics).

• Proficiency with simulation tools (e.g., Gazebo, Isaac Sim, or Webots) and visualization frameworks (e.g., RViz).

• Strong software engineering practices: version control (Git), CI/CD, containerization (Docker).
