About this role
This role seeks a Robot Autonomy Engineer to develop the decision-making software for robots in industrial settings. You will design and implement the autonomy stack, integrating elements like task planning, behavior planning, and motion planning, while also incorporating LLM/VLM reasoning. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in robotics and experience deploying algorithms onto real hardware.
What you'll do
- Develop the autonomy stack for task planning, behavior planning, path planning, and trajectory planning.
- Design behavior architectures for long-horizon tasks with recovery and operator handoff mechanisms.
- Implement task planning strategies using classical AI or decision-theoretic planning techniques.
- Coordinate motion for multiple robots in an industrial facility.
- Integrate LLM and VLM reasoning into planning processes.
- Evaluate planner performance through simulation and real-world testing.
What they're looking for
- Python
- Task Planning (STRIPS, PDDL, HTN, MDP, POMDP)
- LLMs/VLMs
- ROS 2
- Drake/OMPL/MoveIt
