We are seeking to hire a Project Officer to to play a key role in advancing the navigation capabilities of our robots. The position will focus on developing and implementing indoor/outdoor navigation capabilities for our robotic systems, with a focus on 2D/3D map generation, localization, modularization, and system integration. The job will involve developing efficient obstacle avoidance strategies to ensure collision-free navigation in dense settings. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in robotics, software development, mechatronics or related fields, and will contribute to pioneering research in the field of robotics.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, implement, and test robust software for robot localization, mapping, and navigation.
- Develop and refine algorithms for sensor fusion, combining data from various sensors such as LiDAR, cameras, IMUs, and wheel encoders.
- Implement and optimize path and motion planning algorithms, including obstacle avoidance and trajectory generation.
- Work on the complete development lifecycle, from conceptualization and simulation to deployment and real-world testing on our mobile robot platforms.
- Troubleshooting of robotic system/sub-system/module using development tools, specialized equipment, and standard lab equipment.
Job Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
- Experience in developing navigation software for mobile robots.
- Strong programming skills in C++ and Python.
- Hands-on experience with the Robot Operating System (ROS or ROS 2).
- Solid understanding of core robotics concepts such as SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), sensor fusion, behaviour tree, and probabilistic robotics.
- Experience with motion planning algorithms (e.g., A*, Dijkstra, RRT) and control systems (e.g., PID).
- Must be result-oriented, independent, and a self-driven team player.
We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
