Job Description

PAL Robotics is looking for a highly motivated research engineer in the area of SLAM and autonomous navigation.

The selected individual will be part of the team responsible for developing, integrating and maintaining the autonomous navigation system on Pal Robotics robots both with wheels and legs.

The robots are going to work in real environments and for this reason safety, robustness, fault detection and recovery should be taken into account during the project design and implementation process.

Primary duties:
– Maintenance of the current PAL Robotics navigation system
– Long term navigation strategy development
– Autonomous Localization in indoor environment with multiple sensors: odometry, IMU, laser, cameras, WiFi
– Path planning and motion control with obstacle avoidance
– SLAM 2D/3D
– Low-cost navigation solution development (RGB-D or camera)
– Code QA through Unit Tests

Further duties:
– Functional testing on simulation environment
– Stress test in real environments
– Availability to travel for Pilots and PoC
