What the job involves
- We are seeking a highly motivated individual with a passion for robotics to join the Robot Software Team as a Robotics Software Engineer, Perception
- In this role, you will be part of the multidisciplinary team that develops the software that drives our Autonomous Mobile Robot fleet
- Specifically, as part of the Perception group, you will help advance the software that allows robots to fully utilize their onboard sensor hardware and perceive their environment accurately
- This is the foundation that enables robots to navigate the warehouse floor smoothly, to avoid hazards, to know exactly where they are in the building, to identify objects of interest and much more
- This encompasses things like producing raw sensor streams from custom drivers, filtering data for different purposes and implementing advanced processing of that data to enable sophisticated robot behaviors
- Advance our robots' capability to perceive their environment for safe and effective robot operation
- Write computationally efficient software that takes advantage of available perception-related algorithms
- Ensure software quality through proper testing and automated CI/CD quality and regression checks
- Follow clean-code best practices for software maintainability and readability
- Deliver features on time and in line with our release cycle
- Identify opportunities to improve the existing stack
- Implement, create and/or maintain sensor drivers and filters
- Evaluate new sensors of interest as they become available
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, when market conditions allow, it will consider an initial public offering.
