Requirements
Candidates should possess a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Automation, or a related field with a strong foundation in mathematics, including linear algebra and optimization. They must be proficient in C++ or Python, utilizing clean coding practices and demonstrating experience with ROS/ROS2 middleware, along with hands-on experience in path planning algorithms such as A*, D*, JPS, Coverage Path Planning (CPP), and Dynamic Window Approach (DWA). Furthermore, expertise in motion control systems, including PID tuning and trajectory tracking, and familiarity with embedded Linux development for resource-constrained robotic platforms are required.
Responsibilities
The Senior Robotics Algorithm Engineer will lead the development of robotic navigation logic for floor cleaning robots, encompassing zone partitioning, full-coverage cleaning, edge following, obstacle avoidance, and recovery from stuck scenarios. They will optimize the planning and control architecture to enhance system robustness and efficiency, design and implement global/local path planning algorithms, and develop simulation tools for performance validation through hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing. Additionally, the engineer will create and maintain technical documentation for algorithm design and implementation, contributing to cross-team collaboration through fluent English communication skills.
