The client is seeking an engineer with an M.S. or a Ph.D. in Robotics Engineering, Computer Science, or a relevant field who has strong ROS2 and embedded systems experience.
The work will be focused on optimizing the performance of ROS2-based small robotics autonomy, planning, and perception software stacks.
The investigation will include CPU load analysis of the overall system, individual node performance, Data Distribution System (DDS) configuration analysis, ROS2 architecture design analysis, and improving low-level operating system interactions with software and hardware.
The candidate must be familiar with running autonomy software on fielded robotic systems and will be responsible for verifying the improvements in real world flight tests.
Qualifications:
Strong ROS2 architecture experience is a must
Strong programming skills in C++ and Python
Experience with hardware & software integration on Ubuntu based systems
Experience with virtualization via Docker Containers
Familiarity with Airsim and off-the-shelf flight controllers like Ardupilot is a plus
Familiarity with GPU programming or other multi-threaded applications is a plus
