- Implement production-ready motion planning algorithms including but not limited to graph search, sampling-based search, trajectory optimization, linear-temporal logic, and decision making under uncertainty
- Work with other teams in software (Perception, Estimation, and Controls) to solve complex cross functional problems
About You
- MS or Ph.D. in robotics, computer science, or related field or have equivalent industry experience
- 5+ years of experience developing and deploying motion planning algorithms on mobile or high degree-of-freedom robots
- Expert in at-least one related technical area such as (but not limited to) graph-search (A*, D*, and extensions), sampling-based search (PRM, RRT*, ect), trajectory optimization (multiple shooting, direct collocation, DDP), linear temporal logic (LTL), and/or decision making under uncertainty (POMDP)
- Strong software experience in modern C++ with a focus on testability, scalability, robustness, and performance
- Mathematical fundamentals in geometry, linear algebra, probability theory, and numerical optimization
Bonus Points
- Experience developing motion planning algorithms for legged robots
- Experience developing motion planning algorithms for safety critical applications
- Experience working with noisy and/or incomplete perception data
- Experience with machine learning/data-driven approaches in motion planning
- Publications in your field (RSS, ICRA, IROS preferred)
