Description

You will design and deploy real-time motion planning and navigation systems for humanoid robots in logistics and manufacturing environments. This role focuses on developing 3D collision-aware motion planning, advancing locomotion capabilities, and integrating with AI and controls teams to enable robust autonomous operations.

Requirements

• 5+ years professional experience in robotics navigation and motion planning for autonomous mobile platforms
• Expertise in 3D map representations (octomaps, voxel grids) for path planning and collision avoidance
• Strong knowledge of locomotion planning algorithms (RRT/PRM, MPC/LQR, hybrid A*)
• Expert proficiency in modern C++ (C++17/20) with multithreaded code experience
• Experience with ROS/ROS2, DDS, and optimization libraries (Ceres, IPOPT, OSQP)

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and deploy 3D motion planning algorithms for locomotion with whole-body collision awareness
• Own core components of navigation stack: local planning maps, terrain models, grid map representations
• Develop and maintain 3D footstep path planner to reduce navigation cycle times
• Define navigation features and route planning algorithms for multi-agent robot fleets
• Design and maintain regression testing pipelines for motion planning and navigation modules
