Job description

Job Details

New ideas are all around us, but only a few will change the world. That's our focus at JPL. We ask the biggest questions, then search the universe for answers-literally. We build upon ideas that have guided generations, then share our discoveries to inspire generations to come. Your mission-your opportunity-is to seek out the answers that bring us one step closer. If you're driven to discover, create, and inspire something that lasts a lifetime and beyond, you're ready for JPL.

Located in Pasadena, California, JPL has a campus-like environment situated on 177 acres in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains and offers a work environment unlike any other: we inspire passion, foster innovation, build collaboration, and reward excellence.

This position is foraRoboticsSystems Engineerwith skills infielding complex multi-agent robotic systemsfor theMulti-Agent Robotics Group,part of theRobotic Mobility & Manipulation Section.

The Robotic Mobility & Manipulation Section develops, matures, and brings to space flight, robotics technology for in-situ exploration of the solar system. Example activities include sampling, manipulation, and mobility systems for planetary bodies (Moon, Mars, Venus, Europa, Enceladus,etc...). The Section also provides roboticsexpertisefor space flight hardware and software implementation along with mission operations support.

Opportunity:Towork withan enthusiastic multi-disciplinary workforce that originates and executes robotics technology development and space flight projects for terrestrial and planetary exploration applications. This role is focused onfielding complex robotics multi-agent aerospace systems onplanetary and military robotic vehicles in support of JPL and other missions.The role requires familiarity with various aspects of a robotic system and ability tointerface withsponsor, government team, and JPL engineers and other partners to successfully deploy our robotics multi-agent solutions in often challenging environments under time constraints.
