Remote Robotics Research information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote robotics researcher?

To thrive as a Remote Robotics Researcher, you need a strong background in robotics, computer science, and engineering, often supported by an advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in a related field. Familiarity with programming languages (such as Python or C++), robotics operating systems (like ROS), and simulation tools (e.g., Gazebo, MATLAB) is typically required. Exceptional problem-solving, independent research skills, and effective virtual communication help you excel in remote, collaborative environments. These competencies are crucial for advancing robotics innovation while efficiently contributing to distributed research teams.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in remote robotics research, and how are they typically addressed?

One common challenge in remote robotics research is effective collaboration across distributed teams, especially when working in different time zones. Researchers often rely heavily on digital communication tools and version control systems to coordinate experiments, share results, and troubleshoot issues in real-time. Another challenge is accessing and managing physical robotics hardware remotely, which is often addressed by using simulation environments and remote access protocols. Successful professionals in this field develop strong communication skills, adaptability, and familiarity with remote testing platforms to overcome these hurdles.

What is remote robotics research?

Remote robotics research involves studying and developing robotic systems and technologies from a location that is not physically on-site, often using digital communication tools and remote access to hardware or simulations. Researchers in this field might design algorithms, run simulations, or control robots over the internet to test new ideas. This approach enables collaboration across different regions and can reduce costs associated with travel and physical infrastructure. It also allows researchers to work with advanced robotics platforms that may be located in specialized labs or facilities around the world.

Job description

Mission Summary:
On our Motion team, you will leverage your expertise in motion planning, robotics, and software development to advance the capabilities of production-ready autonomous vehicles. In this role, you will conduct innovative research, lead design processes, and implement performance-critical algorithms that enable safe, comfortable, and intuitive autonomous vehicle behaviors across Motional's fleet of robotaxis.
If you are passionate about autonomous driving, thrive on solving challenging optimization problems, and are eager to make a significant impact in a rapidly evolving field, we want to hear from you.
Technical Scope:
  • Develop state-of-the-art motion control and trajectory optimization algorithms to ensure safe and comfortable vehicle motion
  • Design and build robust and scalable software that enables real on-road impact by evaluating different control techniques and motion planning algorithms
  • Provides high-quality code and design reviews (C++) based on a deep understanding of the teams' services and technologies
  • Leverage modern development toolchains, including testing, simulation, and continuous integration, to enable rapid development cycles
Role responsibilities:
  • Understands and explains trade-offs, complex concepts to peers and leaders to drive decisions.
  • Collaborate with teams working on (ML) decision/behavior planning, prediction, and vehicle control to build comprehensive and integrated solutions
  • Creates project proposals that drive long-term technical roadmaps and span multiple sub-systems.
  • Mentor junior team members to develop a culture of product-focused engineering, research, and development.
What we're looking for:
  • 3+ years of C++ software development
  • Bachelors, Masters, or PhD degree preferred in Robotics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience with Model Predictive Control (MPC), motion planning, planning under uncertainty, vehicle dynamics and control, and simulation environments
  • Understanding of numerical optimization algorithms (interior point method, sequential quadratic programming, etc)
  • Experience with optimization solvers (IPOPT, Gurobi, etc)
  • Past experience owning and leading technical development on features from problem formulation, algorithm design, through implementation
  • Knowledge of Python is a bonus

We encourage a hybrid schedule with in-office time at one of our locations in Boston or Pittsburgh to support collaboration, or this role can be fully remote.
The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors including but not limited to specific skills, experience and expertise, role location, certifications, licenses, and business needs. The estimated compensation range listed in this job posting reflects base salary only. This role may include additional forms of compensation such as a bonus or company equity. The recruiter assigned to this role can share more information about the specific compensation and benefit details associated with this role during the hiring process.

Salary Range
$172,000-$229,000 USD
Motional is a driverless technology company making autonomous vehicles a safe, reliable, and accessible reality. We're driven by something more.
Our journey is always people first.
We aren't just developing driverless cars; we're creating safer roadways, more equitable transportation options, and making our communities better places to live, work, and connect. Our team is made up of engineers, researchers, innovators, dreamers and doers, who are creating a technology with the potential to transform the way we move.
Higher purpose, greater impact.
We're creating first-of-its-kind technology that will transform transportation. To do so successfully, we must design for everyone in our cities and on our roads. We believe in building a great place to work through a progressive, global culture that is diverse, inclusive, and ensures people feel valued at every level of the organization. Diversity helps us to see the world differently; it's not only good for our business, it's the right thing to do.
Scale up, not starting up.
Our team is behind some of the industry's largest leaps forward, including the first fully-autonomous cross-country drive in the U.S, the launch of the world's first robotaxi pilot, and operation of the world's longest-standing public robotaxi fleet. We're driven to scale; we're moving towards commercialization of our technology, and we need team members who are ready to embrace change and challenges.
Formed as a joint venture between Hyundai Motor Group and Aptiv, Motional is fundamentally changing how people move through their lives.
