Job Description:

We are exclusively engaged with an outdoor robotics client to help find a Senior Algorithm Developer to design and implement advanced algorithms for path planning, obstacle avoidance, and autonomous navigation. This role focuses on ensuring their robots can navigate complex and dynamic construction environments safely and efficiently. This person will work closely with a multidisciplinary team to bring robust and intelligent navigation capabilities to their systems.Key Responsibilities

• Develop and optimize path planning algorithms for dynamic construction environments.
• Design and implement real-time obstacle avoidance techniques using sensor data from LiDARs, cameras, and IMUs.
• Implement motion planning algorithms that consider constraints such as terrain, robot kinematics, and dynamic obstacles.
• Integrate and test planning and navigation modules on robotic hardware.
• Develop safety mechanisms and fallback strategies for navigation in unpredictable environments.
• Optimize algorithms for performance on embedded systems and real-time constraints.
• Document algorithms, test plans, and system designs.Requirements
• 5+ years developing path planning, motion planning, or navigation algorithms for autonomous systems.
• Proficiency in C++ and Python.
• Strong background in path planning algorithms.
• Experience with obstacle avoidance techniques.
• Familiarity with ROS (Robot Operating System) and real-time navigation stacks.
• Experience with sensor data integration (LiDAR, cameras, GPS, IMU) for navigation tasks.
• Strong understanding of optimization techniques and algorithm performance tuning.
• Proficiency with development tools (Git, JIRA) and simulation tools.
• Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and the ability to work collaboratively in a dynamic environment.Preferred:
• Experience with multi-robot path planning and coordination.
• Experience deploying navigation systems in real-world environments (construction, industrial, or field robotics).If this role is of interest to you, please apply for it with your current resume. We will reach out to schedule an initial call.
