Senior Motion Planning Engineer

At Raise Robotics, we’re building robots that work where people shouldn’t. Our team has successfully deployed machines into real construction sites and factories. We’re now building our next generation platform to help build some of the largest structures in the world - think buildings, ships, energy generation plants, and more. We’re looking for team members who enjoy touch technical challenges and want to make an impact. You’ll have the opportunity to travel to customer sites and see our machines working out in the real world. For this role, we are seeking a Senior Robotics Engineer who will oversee the software architecture of the robot with a focus on generating safe motion in unstructured environments. You’ll be responsible for deciding appropriate technical approaches in addition to implementing and testing the onboard robotics stack. What we’re looking for: At least 3 years developing motion planning and robotics software in a professional setting. Expertise with classical motion planning for articulated robots, such as 6-DOF/7-DOF arms, legged robots, snake robots, or humanoid robots. Experience with motion planning for navigation in unstructured environments. Previous experience deploying robots to work in semi-structured and unstructured environments using perception.

• Plus) Experience developing machine learning models for trajectory generation using RL or IL.
• Plus) Familiarity using simulation tools such as Gazebo, Mujoco, or Isaac.

What you’ll do: Work with existing motion planning libraries and develop custom motion planning algorithms for mobile manipulation. Collaborate with perception and control engineers to determine interface requirements for highly accurate and safe motion. Analyze logs and failure cases to make improvements. Build task level planning logic for mobile manipulation. Develop simulation based regression testing.
