Your mission We are looking for an exceptional Autonomy Engineer to join our robotics development team and take a central role in advancing the autonomous capabilities of our indoor inspection drones. This role involves the development and integration of cutting-edge algorithms for sensor fusion, localization, mapping, obstacle avoidance, and autonomous navigation. You’ll work closely with a multidisciplinary team to bring advanced autonomy features into real-world deployments. We’re seeking someone with a strong academic and practical background in robotics who can make an immediate impact and grow with the team as we scale.
Responsibilities:
Design, develop, and integrate core autonomy components, including:
Sensor fusion (e.g., IMU, camera, LiDAR)
Localization and SLAM algorithms
Obstacle detection and avoidance
Path planning and autonomous navigation
Validate and test algorithms in simulation and real-world environments.
Collaborate with software, control, and hardware engineers to ensure smooth system integration.
Optimize autonomy stacks for robustness, real-time performance, and reliability in indoor environments.
Contribute to system architecture decisions and roadmap for autonomy-related features.
Analyze data from field tests and iterate on algorithms based on experimental results.
Participate in code reviews and maintain high software quality standards.
