About the role

Develop platform software and infrastructure to empower robotic engineers for motion planning and trajectory optimization in Dexterity’s robotics applications, focusing on fast and safe trajectory generation for 6 to 8 DOF robots in constrained spaces, with tooling, testing on hardware, and collaboration with product teams.

Responsibilities

  • Build modern motion planning, collision checking, and trajectory optimization algorithms as part of features for core Robot Motion libraries.
  • Help build unique motion planning methods by developing infrastructure and features to measure reliability and performance in the field.
  • Introspect the performance (speed and quality) of the motion planning software and develop optimizations to improve them.
  • Design and implement novel trajectory optimization methods to deploy rapid robot motions.
  • Work closely with the robot controls team and product teams to use the motion planning stack and help design and test the generated motions.
  • Build production-grade tooling to extract logging and metrics from different classes of machines.
  • Build and analyze pipelines of critical and non-critical data: introspecting on errors regarding robot motions: desired motion → motion planning → robot control.
  • Enable complex robotic systems to scale globally!

Qualifications

  • BS (4+ years experience) / MS (2+ years experience) / Ph.D. in Computer Science, Maths or a related discipline or equivalent experience
  • Strong Knowledge of Modern C++ and Python
  • Math fundamentals in Linear Algebra, Numerical Optimization (Convex, Non-Linear), Geometric Algorithms, Graph search algorithms
  • Experience delivering production software
  • Experience with Git, Kubernetes, and Docker.
  • Proficient in Linux
  • Strong user-centric focus on tooling and infrastructure
  • Independent, self-starter, and critical thinking engineer
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
