What they need
- At Dexterity, you will develop platform software and infrastructure to empower robotic engineers to freely command and craft robot motions under different geometric and dynamic constraints for Dexterity’s robotics applications
- You will develop features and capabilities for fast and safe trajectory generation for 6 to 8 DOF robots operating in constrained spaces
- You will apply your expertise in mathematics and experience in software development to solve some of the hardest motion challenges by contributing to our collision checking, spatial reasoning, efficient sampling strategies and graph based search algorithms for robot trajectory generation
- One of the areas of focus of this role will also be on tooling and infrastructure for empowering robotics engineers as well as core software for the robotics system
- You will work with a team of domain experts in trajectory optimization, collision checking, and simulation to develop a robust and scalable motion planning and trajectory optimization stack
- As part of this role, you will get hands-on experience to experiment and test the robot motion stack on the robot hardware. You will also be responsible to support the product teams that use the robot motion stack to integrate and use its features on the robots to perform various tasks and meet KPIs
- Build modern motion planning, collision checking, and trajectory optimization algorithms as part of features for core Robot Motion libraries
- Help build unique motion planning methods by developing infrastructure and features to measure reliability and performance in the field
- Introspect the performance (speed and quality) of the motion planning software and develop optimizations to improve them
- Design and implement novel trajectory optimization methods to deploy rapid robot motions
- Work closely with the robot controls team and product teams to use the motion planning stack and help design and test the generated motions
- Build production-grade tooling to extract logging and metrics from different classes of machines
- Build and analyze pipelines of critical and non-critical data: introspecting on errors regarding robot motions: desired motion → motion planning → robot control
- Enable complex robotic systems to scale globally!- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Strong user-centric focus on tooling and infrastructure
- Experience with Git, Kubernetes, and Docker
- Strong Knowledge of Modern C++ and Python
- Independent, self-starter, and critical thinking engineer
- Math fundamentals in Linear Algebra, Numerical Optimization (Convex, Non-Linear), Geometric Algorithms, Graph search algorithms
- Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
- Experience delivering production software
- Minimum two years of industry experience
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- BS (4+ years experience )/ MS (2+ years experience) / Ph.D. in Computer Science, Maths or a related discipline or equivalent experience
- Proficient in Linux
