About the job
Own and advance real-time control and state-estimation systems that turn sensor feedback into accurate, robust robot-arm motion on physical hardware.
What you'll do
- Build the closed loop for state estimation, feedback and predictive control, and end-effector trajectory correction.
- Develop reliable hard-real-time software for physical robots and design systems that account for uncertainty and fail safely.
- Set technical direction toward learning-based and whole-body control.
What they ask for
- Deep expertise in real-time control and state estimation, including model-predictive control and estimation methods.
- Manipulation robotics expertise, including arm kinematics and dynamics, trajectory generation, and calibration.
- Track record building and running real-time robotic systems on hardware.
- Modern production C++ and ROS / ROS 2 experience, with hard-real-time software practices.
Nice to have
- Depth in geometric/model-based vision, 3D sensing, point-cloud registration, and calibration.
- Experience with sensor-guided motion or visual servoing on real hardware.
Tools
C++, ROS, ROS 2
