Trainee Robotics Engineer Localization information

What is the difference between Trainee Robotics Engineer Localization vs Trainee Robotics Engineer Control?

AspectTrainee Robotics Engineer LocalizationTrainee Robotics Engineer Control
Required CredentialsDegree in Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or related field; basic programming skillsSimilar educational background; focus on control systems and programming
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, development centers, field testingDevelopment labs, simulation environments, real-time testing
Industry UsageUsed in autonomous navigation, mapping, and sensor integrationApplied in motion control, system regulation, and automation

Both roles involve working with robotics and require similar educational backgrounds. Localization focuses on enabling robots to understand their position in space, while control emphasizes managing robot movements and behaviors. The choice depends on whether the focus is on positioning and mapping or on controlling robot actions.

Job description

Position Overview

Skild AI, Inc. seeks a Research Robotics/Computer Vision Engineer in San Mateo, CA responsible for developing perceptive, intelligent, and adaptable robotic systems capable of learning and performing tasks with a focus on 3D computer vision and autonomous navigation. This includes designing perception pipelines, optimizing SLAM systems, and creating learning-based algorithms for robust robotic control in real-world environments. Specific duties include: (i) implementing perception on robots to enable safe exploration and navigation in real world environments in collaboration with the locomotion team; (ii) reconstructing an entire scene in 3D using monocular images, estimating camera poses, optimizing and streamlining 3D SLAM; (iii) developing a set of software tools for localization of a robot using only visual inputs; (iv) building robust software to enable life-long mapping on a robot via optimally merged pose-graphs; (v) visual servoing wrt objects detected/ tracked to control robot motion; (vi) researching novel techniques to detect and cater to glare during robotic mapping and navigation; (vii) building infrastructure and pipeline and collecting data to enable streaming of hand movements for training robot manipulation tasks such as pick and place; and (viii) maintaining a camera and 2D lidar based navigation stack, including fixing bugs, adding new customer feature requests, and ensuring successful deployments.

Responsibilities
  • (i) implementing perception on robots to enable safe exploration and navigation in real world environments in collaboration with the locomotion team
  • (ii) reconstructing an entire scene in 3D using monocular images, estimating camera poses, optimizing and streamlining 3D SLAM
  • (iii) developing a set of software tools for localization of a robot using only visual inputs
  • (iv) building robust software to enable life-long mapping on a robot via optimally merged pose-graphs
  • (v) visual servoing wrt objects detected/ tracked to control robot motion
  • (vi) researching novel techniques to detect and cater to glare during robotic mapping and navigation
  • (vii) building infrastructure and pipeline and collecting data to enable streaming of hand movements for training robot manipulation tasks such as pick and place
  • (viii) maintaining a camera and 2D lidar based navigation stack, including fixing bugs, adding new customer feature requests, and ensuring successful deployments.
Minimum Requirements
  • Must have a master's degree (or foreign equivalent) in Computer Vision, Robotics, or a directly related discipline and one (1) year of experience in Machine Learning or Data Science.
  • Must have any experience with or knowledge of each of the following: (i) reconstructing 3D scenes using monocular videos, meshes, pointclouds, Neural Radiance Fields, and Gaussian Splats; (ii) reconstructing rigid and articulated hand-held objects from videos, including inferring the time-varying hand configurations and relative poses of the objects; (iii) using generative computer vision, including diffusion models to guide reconstruction, or addressing occlusion and limited viewpoint variations in videos via data driven priors; (iv) optimizing attention-based models for perception used in autonomous navigation systems; (v) using Neural Architectural Search (NAS) to find better perception backbone architectures with higher accuracies and lower latencies; and (vi) cloud-based training in AWS, Google cloud, or Vetex AI and optimized data loading for cloud based distributed training for deep learning workloads (e.g. Pytorch dataloader, or sharding) with hardware-in-loop.
  • Experience can be concurrent.
