Job Description:

We are currently hiring Mid Level and Senior Level Robotics Engineers to join our team and work on government robotic development projects. Our multi-disciplinary engineering team designs, develops, and deploys robots which inspect the world's most critical infrastructure. In addition to a broad technical background and enthusiasm to learn new areas of expertise, a hallmark of the hardware engineering team, specific robotics expertise is required for this role. In this evolving role as an experienced robotics engineer, you will provide technical leadership for improving our robots' localization on inspected assets and further developing our robots' capabilities, including autonomy, along our technical roadmap. You will be involved in multiple aspects of the design process, including conceptualization, requirements definition, sensor and firmware development, and performance verification and validation in the lab and field. What You Will Do

• Help define and execute the technical roadmap for improving the localization, mapping, and autonomy capabilities of inspection robots for a range of operating conditions, including outdoor and indoor inspections on a variety of plant assets in the power generation, oil & gas, pulp & paper sectors.
• Evaluate the performance of current localization capabilities, evaluate sensor technologies and sensor fusion algorithms, and develop, integrate, and verify solutions for localization problems.
• Collaborate with software team to design the data structures and pipelines to efficiently integrate localization information into the overall robot-enabled inspection data system within our robotics-as-a-service business model.
• Develop other features to improve the capability of current and future robots, along with support infrastructure such as logging and tools.
• Participate in initial system bring-up and integration testing to verify system design and field activities to validate performance and resolve design problems. Debug hardware and software modules during launch, production periods, deployment, field support, and service. These responsibilities include localization but extend to supporting other hardware design functions.
• Lead and prepare documentation associated with design, analysis, investigation, and test phases. What We are Looking For
  • BS or beyond in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related technical field.
  • 3+ years experience in localization, mapping, and path planning for mobile robots in the field.
  • Knowledge of ECAD software (Altium preferred).
