Ready to push the limits of what’s technically possible? Together, we enter a new era of intelligent machines, with you as a driving force:
-
Localization: Choose tune, integrated, and adapt robust localization and SLAM pipelines using multi-sensor fusion (LiDAR, cameras, IMU, wheel odometry) within the ROS2 framework
-
Path planning: Chose, tune, integrate and adapt path planning and obstacle avoidance algorithms for safe navigation around people and obstacles
-
Autononmy: Develop behavior- and decision logic that enables the robot reacting to the various challenges of navigation in complex and dynamic environments
-
Full-body-motion: Integrate navigation with manipulation workflows for coordinated mobile manipulation tasks
-
Testing and validation: Test and validate the navigation and localization in Isaac Sim
-
Teamplayer: Work in a multi-disciplinary and agileteam and actively contribute to the roadmap and future of intelligent robotic systems
-
An excellent Master’s or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent
-
5+ years of professional experience in mobile robot navigation, localization, or autonomous systems
-
A proven track record: Your projects show measurable impact.
-
The desire to go beyond the state of the art. You don’t just want to improve, you want to create something new.
-
Strong proficiency in Python and C++
-
Solid understanding of SLAM algorithms, state estimation, sensor fusion techniques and path planning
-
