What is the difference between Optimization Algorithms vs Data Analysts?

AspectOptimization AlgorithmsData Analysts
Required CredentialsMathematics, Computer Science, Programming skillsStatistics, Data Analysis, Business Intelligence
Work EnvironmentResearch, software development, algorithm designData interpretation, reporting, business decision support
Employer & Industry UsageTech companies, finance, logistics, AI developmentMarketing, finance, healthcare, consulting

Optimization Algorithms focus on developing mathematical methods to improve processes and solve complex problems efficiently, often requiring programming and advanced math skills. Data Analysts interpret data to generate insights, supporting business decisions across various industries. While both roles work with data, Optimization Algorithms are more technical and algorithm-centric, whereas Data Analysts focus on data interpretation and reporting.

Job description

Who We Are 

Hellbender Inc. is a Pennsylvania Benefit Corporation who partners with innovators to mature their Artificial Intelligence enabled computing sensors and produce their solutions onshore at prototype to high volumes. 

Hellbender is intentionally forming an inclusive work environment and is committed to uplifting the historically marginalized identities including veterans, women, trans and underrepresented races in our community and industry. 

Must be a U.S. Person         

Job Summary 

We're looking for a Robotics Algorithm Engineer to design, implement, and optimize the algorithms that power our AI computer vision systems. You'll work at the intersection of software engineering and applied mathematics, translating theoretical models into robust, real-time solutions that run on physical hardware. 

Essential Duties and Responsibilities 

  • Design and implement algorithms for motion planning, trajectory optimization, and robotic control (e.g.,D*, PRM, MPC, GCS,graph planners, sampling planners,trajectoryoptimization, learned neural planners, etc.)
  • Develop perception pipelines including SLAM, sensor fusion, object detection, and localization using LiDAR,Event, frame, and stereocameras, IMUs,RADARs,and other sensors(e.g. SLAM, SFM, EFK, UKF, graph solvers, OpenCV, etc.)
  • Build and refine kinematic and dynamic models for robotic manipulators, mobile platforms, or multi-body systems
  • Optimize deep learning and classical CV algorithms for real-time inference on embedded/edge hardware (e.g., GPUs, NPUs, FPGAs)
  • Validateand refinealgorithms throughphysical hardware in the loop testingbeforeproductdeployment
  • Profile and debug latency, throughput, and accuracy tradeoffs across the perception-to-control pipeline
  • Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software teams to integrate algorithms into full robotic systems
  • Analyze test data to debug performance issues and improve system reliability and safety
  • Document technical designs, experiments, and results for internal and external stakeholders 

Qualifications, Skills, and Attributes 

  • Masters's degree or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, or related field 
  • 5+ years of experience developing robotics algorithms in a research or production environment  
  • Strong proficiency in C++ and/or Python  
  • Solid foundation in linear algebra, probability/statistics, and control theory
  • Experience with ROS/ROS2 or comparable robotics middleware  
  • Hands-on experience with at least one of: motion planning, SLAM, computer vision, or sensor fusion  
  • Experience testing and validating algorithms on physical robotic hardware

Due to the nature of Hellbender's funding, this position requires US citizenship or Permanent Resident status.  

Compensation 

Competitive salary based on qualifications and experience. 

Benefits 

  • 401(k)
  • 5% Safe Harbor Contribution to 401k by Hellbender
  • 100% of Health, Dental, and Vision insurance premiums for employees and their families paid by Hellbender
  • 7.5 weeks total Paid time off
  • Profit Sharing (through 401k)
  • Hybrid work environment & flexible work schedule 

Work Location 

Pittsburgh  

Opportunity for Advancement 

Hellbender is a growing business and follows a policy that prioritizes internal promotions. As new positions are created, new opportunities for advancement will be created as well.
