Sr. Robotics Engineer

Responsibilities and Duties

The Robotics engineers develop, refine and deploy perception, motion planning, localization, mapping, SLAM, and/or calibration algorithms for aerial mobility and inspection applications. Senior engineers integrate these onto robotics platforms that range from small quadcopters to full size helicopters. Senior engineers provide technical leadership to guide projects through the complete lifecycle from conception through production, whether through leading teams or through subject matter expertise.

We are looking for candidates who are highly motivated, independent thinkers, passionate about state-of-the-art technology; also self-starting, empathetic team players, and strong communicators. The ideal candidate for this position can multitask effectively, is comfortable working on a quick development tempo, and most importantly enjoys bringing new autonomy technology to life.
