About the Role

As an Algorithms Engineer, you will develop and optimize motion control algorithms, path planning strategies, and perception/vision algorithms for robotics systems. You will design and implement precise and efficient algorithms, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and test and validate solutions in real-world environments.

In this role, you will:

• Design and implement motion control algorithms for precise and efficient robot movement.
• Develop path-planning algorithms to optimize robot navigation and obstacle avoidance.
• Implement perception algorithms, including image processing and computer vision techniques, for object detection and recognition.
• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to integrate algorithms into robotic platforms.
• Conduct test, validate, and debug algorithms in simulated and real-world environments.
• Optimize algorithms for performance, efficiency, and reliability.
• Document algorithms, design decisions, and implementation details for internal and external stakeholders.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in Navigation and Control algorithm development for robotics.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• MSc in Mechanical Engineering with control/mechatronics/robotics specialization is preferred.
• Proficiency in Python and C++ programming languages.
• Strong knowledge of ROS (Robot Operating System), including URDF, TF2 transformations, robot localization, and gazebo simulation.
• Experience with ROS2 distributions (Foxy, Galactic, or Humble) is highly desirable.
• Experience in Sensor Fusion algorithms, especially Extended Kalman Filters (EKF) and related techniques.
• Familiarity with Control Algorithms such as PID, Stanley, and Model Predictive Control (MPC).
• Experience with Optimization Algorithms, including stochastic and heuristic algorithms, clustering, nearest neighbors, etc.
• Knowledge of Perception Algorithms, including image processing, computer vision, and deep learning techniques, is a plus.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration abilities, with a proactive and self-motivated approach to work.
