About the role

Role focused on building autonomy and sensor-integration software for autonomous mining vehicles, including perception, SLAM, motion planning, and control, with end-to-end involvement from architecture to field validation.

Responsibilities

  • Develop autonomy software for autonomous mining vehicles focusing on perception, SLAM, motion planning, and control
  • Integrate and calibrate sensing suite (LiDAR, cameras, radar, IMU, GNSS), implementing sensor fusion and time synchronization for dusty, vibration-heavy mining environments
  • Build and maintain embedded and real-time software bridging sensing, compute, and actuation with emphasis on safety, latency, and reliability
  • Develop simulation, logging, and data pipelines to test autonomy behavior and drive performance against safety and availability targets
  • Build bench, rig, and field validation of the autonomy stack, debugging across the software-hardware boundary
  • Collaborate with hardware and controls engineers to integrate sensing, compute, and actuation into a complete vehicle

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical, or related engineering discipline
  • 2+ years developing autonomy, robotics, or embedded software, ideally for mobile robots or vehicles
  • Strong proficiency in C++ and/or Python, and with a robotics middleware such as ROS/ROS 2
  • Hands-on experience with sensor integration and fusion - LiDAR, cameras, radar, IMU, GNSS - and with perception, localization, or motion-planning algorithms
  • Working knowledge of real-time and embedded systems, and of the controls and software-hardware integration that drive actuation
  • Experience in autonomous vehicles, robotics, automotive, or off-highway equipment strongly preferred
