  • Proven experience developing navigation software for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs)
  • Strong proficiency with Python; C++ experience strongly preferred
  • Deep understanding of robot kinematics, dynamics, and non-holonomic motion
  • Experience developing motion planning algorithms including A*, RRT, PRM, or similar graph-search methods
  • Strong background in robotics controls and navigation systems
  • Experience with mathematical optimization techniques including convex optimization and nonlinear programming
  • Experience implementing control algorithms such as PID, Pure Pursuit, LQR, or similar
  • Experience deploying and supporting navigation software on production robotic fleets
  • Strong debugging, problem-solving, and software architecture skills
  • Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration abilities
Desired Skills & Experience
  • Master's or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
  • Experience with trajectory optimization or Model Predictive Control (MPC)
  • Background in collision avoidance, obstacle recovery, and autonomous navigation behaviors
  • Experience applying optimization techniques to robotic motion planning
  • Exposure to machine learning approaches including behavior cloning or diffusion policies
  • Experience with ROS/ROS2 and modern robotics software frameworks
  • Previous experience mentoring engineers or leading technical initiatives
  • Experience working in Agile/Scrum development environments
What You Will Be Doing
  • Design, develop, and optimize navigation and mobility control algorithms for autonomous mobile robots
  • Improve robot speed, efficiency, reliability, and safety in dynamic warehouse environments
  • Develop path planning and motion planning algorithms for real-world robotic applications
  • Build scalable software architecture supporting multi-robot deployments
  • Collaborate with perception, controls, systems, and hardware engineers to integrate navigation capabilities
  • Develop robust trajectory generation, collision avoidance, and recovery behaviors
  • Analyze real-world robot performance and continuously improve navigation reliability
  • Debug complex robotics software and optimize algorithm performance
  • Mentor engineers and contribute to technical leadership across the software organization
  • Participate in architecture discussions, code reviews, and technical planning
Tech Breakdown
  • 35% Navigation & Motion Planning
  • 25% Robotics Controls & Optimization
  • 20% Software Architecture & Systems Design
  • 20% Cross-Functional Robotics Integration
Daily Responsibilities
  • 75% Hands-On Software Development
  • 15% Technical Leadership & Mentorship
  • 10% Cross-Functional Collaboration
The Offer
