Robotics Research Engineer - AERIS Lab
The Autonomous Experimental Robotics and Intelligent Systems (AERIS) Lab in the Department of Computer Science at NC State University is hiring a Robotics Research Engineer - the lab's first dedicated engineering hire. Check out the AERIS lab here.
AERIS develops robust, intelligent unmanned systems (UXS) and sensor systems. The lab designs, builds, and field-tests multicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, and other small UAS, robot, and sensor platforms. Facilities include a brand new indoor flight arena with motion capture, and access to Lake Wheeler Road Field Laboratory - a 1,500-acre FAA-approved research site with RTK GPS and a dedicated UAS deployment trailer. The AERIS lab supports multiple graduate and undergraduate students.
Autonomous unmanned systems are advancing rapidly, and much of what is possible today was out of reach five years ago. This role puts you at that frontier - translating new research in autonomy, perception, and planning into systems that operate in real environments and do things that haven't been done before.
As the lab's first Robotics Research Engineer, you will help define how research concepts become working hardware and software - from embedded firmware through ROS2 autonomy stacks through field deployment at sponsor demonstration sites. You will also build the engineering infrastructure (tools, processes, equipment management) that the lab runs on. This is a role with unusual breadth: PCB layout one week, flight testing at Lake Wheeler the next, debugging a perception pipeline the week after. The right candidate is as comfortable with a soldering iron and a logic analyzer as they are reading a robotics research paper.
The primary job duties include the following:
Research Engineering & Development (70%)

Lab Operations & Equipment Management (20%)

Technical Collaboration (10%)

This position is contingent upon funding.
