Trajectory Optimization focuses on mathematically finding the best possible path for a robot or vehicle by minimizing or maximizing certain criteria. Motion Planning Engineers develop practical, collision-free paths considering environment constraints. While both roles involve path generation, Trajectory Optimization emphasizes mathematical optimization, whereas Motion Planning Engineers focus on real-world implementation and obstacle avoidance.

Holiday Robotics Research Inc. is the US subsidiary of Holiday Robotics, the fastest-growing robotics company in South Korea. We build our systems entirely from scratch - hardware, firmware, low-level controllers, simulators, and end-user software - all in-house, with the goal of freeing humans from tedious, dangerous, and repetitive tasks.
We are looking for a Senior Research Scientist in planning and control to drive the development of motion planning, trajectory optimization, and navigation algorithms for our mobile-based humanoid robot, Friday. You will design computationally efficient, real-time algorithms that enable Friday to safely navigate dynamic, complex environments while executing dexterous manipulation tasks.
You will implement real-time, kinematically feasible motion planning; develop trajectory optimization and predictive control frameworks (e.g., MPC) that ensure dynamic balance under high payloads; and build robust pipelines for dynamic collision avoidance that fuse real-time perception to continuously re-plan on the fly. You will formulate algorithms that coordinate mobile-base navigation with upper-body bimanual manipulation for smooth, safe whole-body motion, validate them in our in-house simulator, and deploy them on physical hardware - working closely with the perception, control, machine learning, hardware, and firmware teams to respect real physical constraints such as actuator limits and communication latencies.
