In this role, you will be working with both our robot software engineering and R&D teams on the software stack that drives the autonomy of our Tally(TM) robots. In this exciting role, you will be working on the cutting edge to improve and expand the capabilities of our robot fleet. You will also be working with our R&D team on both defining and implementing the next generation of Tally robots.
\n ResponsibilitiesEvaluating third-party ROS packages for integration into our stackWorking on new localization and SLAM algorithmsMaking our robots better aware of humans by implementing HRI-friendly behaviors to get out of their wayEnhancing robot perception with better awareness of non-static (moving) obstaclesDeveloping new algorithms for smoother, more efficient, and more accurate navigationTesting and integrating new hardware components including new sensors that will go into the next generation of TallyAssist in finishing our migration from ROS1 to ROS2Help in creating new hardware and software products from Simbe. Required QualificationsBS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or related field highly recommended but not requiredExtremely adept in C++ and Python programmingExtensive experience with the Robot Operating System (ROS), preferably both ROS1 and ROS2 though one or the other is sufficient.Experience with the ROS navigation stackExperience writing ROS nodes including drivers for new hardwareExperience working with Ubuntu or other Debian-based Linux distributionsExperience working ROS-based robots such as TurtleBotExperience working with LIDAR and/or RGBD (e.g. Intel Realsense) sensorsDeep understanding of robotics, machine learning, and/or computer vision algorithms recommended but not requiredComfortable reviewing the literature on state-of-the-art robotics and ML algorithms applicable to our problemsAbility to evaluate third-party ROS packages for integration into our stackWell-versed in source control systems, particularly GitProficient in shell scripting, preferably with Bash and PythonFamiliarity working with Docker containers recommendedFamiliarity with modern software development methodologies (e.g. continuous integration/deployment, scrum, automated regression testing)
