Robotics Engineer, Navigation

Open 18d

Summary

Develops and deploys navigation algorithms for bipedal humanoid robots, focusing on SLAM, localization, and motion planning in real-world indoor settings using embedded systems.

Robotics Engineer, Navigation

What You Will Do

  • Research, develop, and deploy navigation algorithms for bipedal humanoid robots operating in complex indoor environments

  • Own localization, mapping, and SLAM pipelines capable of running in real time on embedded compute

  • Build planning frameworks that account for the physical constraints of a legged platform -- footstep planning, terrain traversal, dynamic obstacle avoidance

  • Integrate navigation with Organisation broader autonomy stack including perception and locomotion

  • Develop data collection and evaluation infrastructure to benchmark performance across environments

  • Systematically close the sim-to-real gap using Uranus and hardware iteration

  • Contribute to open-source releases of navigation research and tooling

What You Will Bring

  • Strong foundations in estimation theory, probabilistic robotics, and motion planning

  • Proven track record building and deploying SLAM, planning, or autonomous navigation systems on real robots

  • Proficiency in Python and C++; familiarity with ROS or equivalent middleware

  • Experience getting systems to work end-to-end -- not just in simulation

  • Ability to debug across the hardware-software boundary and move fast on ambiguous problems

    Regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
