Role #

As a Robotics Software Engineer, you will:

  • Design and Develop: Work alongside cross-functional teams to design and implement software of Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR). Robot’s software is at the core of system’s functionality driven by squad of robots deployed into enclosed environments at multiple sites. Robot’s software stack is running above Linux and includes the modules for low-level actuators control, localization based on CV, navigation, automated planning, model-predictive control, squad action planning and communication to other robots in a squad.
  • Apply research results: Analyze latest academic achievements in relevant domains and apply them to alogorithms used in our solution. Fine-tune and adapt implementations to make them more robust, reliable and high-performance.
  • Troubleshoot: Investigate and resolve complex algorithmic issues and bugs.
  • Document: Create and maintain documentation for code, processes, and systems.
  • Collaborate: Engage continiously with fellow engineers, product managers, and stakeholders to understand requirements, simplify and improve.
  • Stay updated: Stay up-to-date with industry best practices and Go development ecosystem.
