Minimum Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Robotics, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Computer Science or a closely related field.
• 4 years of experience in software development with a focus on robotics manipulation or related areas.
• Strong development expertise in Python and C
• Experience in working with ROS or ROS2
• Experience in designing and implementing software and algorithms for real robots, including troubleshooting of real robot systems
• Demonstrated ability to:
  • Work in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities
  • Determine and communicate justification of technical priorities
  • Rapidly prototype and iterate on solutions to challenging problems
  • Work independently on a variety of projects while maintaining focus
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, capable of explaining complex ideas clearly and concisely to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications:

• PhD in Robotics, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Computer Science or a closely related field.
• Demonstrated experience with one or multiple of:
  • Computer vision applied to robotic manipulation problems, such as grasp estimation, object detection/segmentation, or anomaly detection
  • Motion planning & optimization for single or bimanual manipulation
  • Imitation learning or reinforcement learning for manipulation or other real world use cases
• Experience with:
  • Common deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch
  • Robot simulators (e.g. Isaac Sim, MuJoCo)
  • Robot learning frameworks (e.g. Orbit / Isaac Labs, OpenAI Gym)
  • Robotic sensors, such as rgb cameras and depth sensors
  • Combining model-based and data-driven approaches
  • Docker, cloud computing, or similar applications
  • Parallel/distributed systems and asynchronous/concurrent programming
• Knowledge of LLM usage within robotics context

Possessing some of these preferred qualifications is great to have but not required and should not discourage applicants from applying.
