Job Title: MTS, Robotics Engineer
Job Location: San Jose, CA

Job ID: AI2402

Job Description:
We are seeking an exceptionalMember of Technical Staff, Robotics Engineerto join our cutting-edge Robotics and AI team. The ideal candidate brings deep, hands-on experience in autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), aerial drones, and, ideally, humanoid robots. You will play a strategic and technical leadership role in developing intelligent, autonomous systems across various platforms.
This role requires a strong foundation inembedded systems, a solid grasp ofneural networks and AI, and an up-to-date understanding of advancements inGenerative AI (GenAI). Expertise inLidar-based SLAMandVisual SLAMis critical for success in this role.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead architecture, design, and development of software and hardware systems for AMRs, drones, and/or humanoid robots.
  • Develop and deploy perception, localization, and navigation systems usingLidar-based and Visual SLAMtechniques.
  • Design real-time embedded systems to interface with sensors, actuators, and compute platforms (e.g., ARM, DSPs, FPGAs).
  • Integratedeep learning modelsfor object detection, motion planning, behavior prediction, and scene understanding.
  • Contribute to or lead R&D efforts related toGenerative AIand its applications in robotics.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical, electrical, and AI scientists to deliver complete solutions.
  • Evaluate and integrate sensors such as cameras, IMUs, LIDARs, and ultrasonic systems for 360° situational awareness.
  • Mentor junior engineers and provide strategic input into long-term robotics and AI vision.
Required Qualifications:
  • Master’s or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in robotics systems design, with a focus onAMRs and/or drones.
  • Proficiency inC/C++, Python, and ROS/ROS2 frameworks.
  • Proven experience withSLAM systems, both Lidar-based (e.g., Cartographer, LOAM) and visual (e.g., ORB-SLAM, OpenVSLAM).
  • Hands-on expertise withembedded systems, RTOS, and board-level debugging.
  • Solid understanding ofdeep learning frameworks(e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) and their deployment on edge devices.
  • Familiarity withGenerative AI models(e.g., transformers, diffusion models) and how they are shaping future intelligent systems.
  • Experience with humanoid robotics is a strong plus.
Preferred Skills:
  • Experience withhardware-in-the-loop (HIL)testing and simulation platforms (e.g., Gazebo, Isaac Sim).
  • Knowledge of real-time computer vision, 3D mapping, and autonomous decision-making.
  • Familiarity with safety, compliance, and fail-safe system design for autonomous platforms.
  • Contributions to open-source robotics or AI projects.
  • Demonstrated innovation through patents or publications.
Personal attributes:
Can-do attitude. Strong team player. Curious, creative, and good at solving problems. Execution and results oriented. Self-driven, Thinks Big and is highly accountable. Good communication skills.
