Job description

Your missions

Agility Robotics is a pioneer. Our robot, Digit, is the first to be sold into workplaces across the globe. Our team is differentiated by its expertise in imagining, engineering, and delivering robots with advanced mobility, dexterity, intelligence, and efficiency -- robots specifically designed to work alongside people, in spaces built for people. Every day, we break through engineering challenges and invent new solutions and capabilities that will one day make robots commonplace and approachable. This work is our passion and our responsibility: our mission is to make businesses more productive and people’s lives more fulfilling.

About The Role:

Our software team is growing and we are looking for a talented engineer to join our agile, world-class team. In this role you will develop state of the art motion planning algorithms for humanoid robots to manipulate the world around it. You will work closely with state estimation, navigation, and controls teams to execute your planning and optimization algorithms aimed at solving challenging problems in real-world deployments.

About The Work:

Design, implement, test, and deploy motion planning and trajectory optimization algorithms for humanoid robots
Develop algorithms robust to environmental uncertainty and imperfect state estimation
Contribute to the software architecture and design of the autonomy stack
Collaborate with members of the autonomy teams to solve complex cross functional problems
Engineer high quality software that is well tested, reliable and maintainable

About You:

MS or Ph.D. in robotics, computer science, or related field or have equivalent industry experience
Strong mathematical fundamentals in search and optimization
Proficiency in classical robotics motion planning and trajectory optimization algorithms
Experience developing planning and optimization algorithms that are subject to geometric and dynamic constraints
Skilled in developing algorithms for sample based motion planning, trajectory optimization and model predictive control
Experience developing and deploying manipulation algorithms on high DOF robots
Industry experience deploying mobile manipulation robots in real world applications
Strong software experience in modern C++ and Python
Exposure to standard agile and software development processes (issue tracking tools (Jira), feature branching, version control (Git), continuous integration and deployment)
Ability to communicate technical information effectively both orally and in writing with other team members
Ability to work independently and as part of a team with a demonstrated ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships
Authorization to work in the USA

You might also have:

Experience working with humanoid (or similar) robots
Experience with perception and scene understanding especially as it pertains to manipulation planning
Experience with task and motion planning (TAMP) under uncertainty
Experience leveraging machine learning or offline trajectory optimization for speeding up online planning
Publications in your field (RSS, ICRA, IROS preferred)
