The Vehicle Autonomy team for our client develops aerial and ground-based robotic systems. The team is responsible for taking products from paper sketches to operational systems.
They work in close coordination with specialist teams like Perception, Autonomy, and Manufacturing to solve some of the hardest problems facing their customers. They are looking for software engineers and roboticists excited about creating a powerful robotics stack that includes computer vision, motion planning, SLAM, controls, estimation, and secure communications.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Write and maintain core libraries (frame transformations, targeting and guidance, etc.) that all robotics platforms for our client will use.
Own major feature development and rollout of large features for our products - recent examples include building a Software-in-the-Loop simulator for our Anvil product and characterizing and improving Ghost helicopter battery consumption with route planning
Work closely with our hardware and manufacturing teams during product development, providing quick feedback that contributes to the final hardware design.
