Job Description

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.
