What the job involves
- The Simulation Team pioneers the testing and development process by creating intricate virtual environments for testing and refining robots
- They design and build simulations that accurately mirror real-world conditions and sensor data, streamlining development, enhancing safety, and ensuring consistent robot performance across diverse environments and scenarios
- In this Senior role, you’ll design, develop, and maintain robust simulations of large robot fleets operating in complex environments
- Working closely with the Robotics Software Team, you’ll integrate simulation into the entire development lifecycle to reflect real-world robot behavior, sensor inputs, and environmental interactions
- Design and extend simulation frameworks to support new robots, sensors, and behaviors
- Advance the development of Digital Twins that reflect real warehouse environments
- Implement accurate models of sensor inputs, physics, and environmental interactions
- Define and implement testing metrics to evaluate simulation accuracy and robot performance
- Optimize simulation performance and scalability for large-scale fleet testing
- Collaborate with other Robotics Software teams by creating test environments for feature development, debugging, and performance tuning
- Perform other duties as required
Our take
Many order fulfilment warehouses rely on a combination of human workers and machinery to operate packaging assembly lines. However, these workflows are time-consuming and repetitive, showing the potential for human workers to be replaced with AI-driven robots.
Locus Robotics provides automated robotic technologies for fulfilment warehouses, offering a range of different robots for different workflows. Every robot outputs data that can be tracked and analyzed, and they can be installed rapidly and scaled depending on business size.
Whilst robots in warehouses is not a new concept, they are generally limited to warehouse giants such as Amazon. Locus Robotics, however, has taken a flexible and accessible approach to its technology, aiming to increase access and affordability so that smaller businesses can scale.
Having picked over three billion items across its network of customers, the company is well established. It has also seen significant funding which has supported international expansion. In the longer term, it has plans to consider an IPO, as long as market conditions allow.
