Aerial Robotics Engineer

About The Position

We are looking for an Aerial Robotics Engineer with hands-on experience in ArduPilot, PX4, F.OPS, and system integration. The role involves developing, integrating, testing, and troubleshooting advanced aerial robotic systems. Candidates with strong practical and field-testing experience will be preferred.

General Expectations:

1. Ambitious.
2. Willingness to learn newer technologies.
3. Good interpersonal and communication skills: verbal and written.
4. Good understanding of engineering practices.
5. Ability to work independently with clarity on scope and objectives.
6. Ability to effectively and efficiently manage the team.
7. Adequate knowledge of UAVs and their subsystems.
8. Good troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, and be able to proactively seek out solutions for any work-related issues.
9. Available for a full-time (in-office) position.
10. Amenable to work with flexible schedules during peak periods.

Key Responsibilities:

• Create, maintain, and integrate software components for high-end robotic projects.
• Develop reusable and efficient code for robotic applications, including Vision-Based Localization (VSLAM).
• Improve localization and mapping of robotic vehicles using LiDAR and cameras.
• Test software extensively on simulation and hardware platforms.
• Develop multi-agent motion planning, decision-making, and collision avoidance systems.
• Work on sensor fusion, obstacle detection, 3D vision software, and deep learning.
• Develop custom motion control algorithms for path tracking, following, and formation control.
• Build robust solutions to advanced control problems and improve autonomous system performance in complex environments.
• Provide technical support for robotic systems.
• Develop and test computer vision algorithms.
• Program autonomous flight vehicles for repeatable tests in controlled environments.
• Integrate sensor data from various tracking and scanning systems.
• Develop and test sensor calibration algorithms.

• Have 2+ years of programming experience in C, C++, Python, or MATLAB.
• Have experience in motion planning, collision avoidance software, and sensor fusion.
• Have a strong mathematical background.
• Understand the basics of kinematics (e.g., transformations), sensor fusion, and optimization.
• Have experience with open-source flight controllers (ArduPilot/PX4 – Required).
• Have experience with ROS/ROS2/ROS Industrial or similar platforms – Required.
• Have experience with SLAM or visual tracking systems – Required.
• Have strong knowledge of robot motion-planning techniques and control systems state estimation.
• Have experience with point cloud processing.
• Have web programming and scripting experience.
• Have experience with sensor calibration.
• Have a track record of successful projects demonstrating computer vision and robotics skills.
• Keep up with the latest technical developments in the field.
• Possess excellent programming skills.
