Senior/Staff Robotics Autonomy Engineer-Planning and Control (Federal)

What You’ll Get To Do:

• Design, develop, and refine motion and navigation planning algorithms for challenging real-world scenarios.
• Design optimization-driven approaches for path and trajectory generation that ensure smooth, reliable, and efficient robot navigation across modalities.
• Ensure scalability, reusability, and adaptability of planning approaches across diverse deployment contexts.

Advance Control and Planning Integration:

• Develop and tune control algorithms that ensure precise trajectory tracking and stable operation across different robotic systems.
• Collaborate across autonomy layers to ensure seamless coordination between perception, planning, and control for robust real-world performance.

Validate and Test Across the Stack:

• Build and maintain testing pipelines from unit-level validation to full robot deployment.
• Utilize simulation and testing environments for algorithm evaluation, benchmarking, and regression validation.
• Analyze real-world telemetry to diagnose issues, identify improvements, and enhance algorithm robustness.
