• Develop, train, and deploy Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms for humanoid, bipedal, and quadruped robot locomotion, balance recovery, dynamic motion control, and autonomous decision-making, leveraging simulation-to-reality transfer techniques for robust real-world performance.
• Implement and improve robotics functionalities related to kinematics, dynamics, state estimation, perception, and autonomous decision-making.
• Develop, maintain, and optimize ROS/ROS2-based applications, packages, and robot control frameworks.
• Develop and maintain robot models using URDF/Xacro for simulation, visualization, and deployment
• Configure and integrate ros2_control frameworks for actuator control and hardware abstraction.
• Design and implement hardware interfaces for seamless communication between robot hardware and ROS 2 controllers.
• Integrate and calibrate sensors such as LiDAR, cameras, IMUs, depth sensors, encoders, and GPS, ensuring reliable sensor fusion and real-time system performance.
• Work closely with mechanical, electronics, embedded, and AI teams to ensure seamless hardware-software integration and overall system reliability.
• Conduct simulation, testing, debugging, calibration, and performance validation in both virtual and real-world environments.
• Analyze robot performance data, troubleshoot system issues, and implement improvements to enhance stability, efficiency, and robustness.
• Participate in prototype development, field deployments, customer demonstrations, and continuous product improvement initiatives.
• Maintain clean, modular, scalable, and well-documented code following software engineering and robotics best practices.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 2-3 years of hands-on experience in robotics development, autonomous systems, or robotic software engineering.
• Strong programming skills in Python and/or C++.
• Experience with communication protocols such as CAN, UART, SPI, I2C, Ethernet, or Serial communication.
• Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced startup environment and take ownership of technical deliverables.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience working on humanoid, bipedal, quadruped, or autonomous mobile robots.
• Familiarity with simulation environments such as Gazebo, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, or Webots.
• Knowledge of Computer Vision, Sensor Fusion, Autonomous Navigation, or AI/ML applications in robotics.
• Experience with NVIDIA Jetson, STM32, Raspberry Pi, or similar embedded platforms.
