Role
Who you are
- BS in Computer Science, Robotics, or related field
- 5+ years of experience in one or more robot control/motion planning areas, such as: path planning, trajectory optimization; inverse kinematics; motion planning, robotic software integration
- Proficient in Rust/C++/Python development, including API design and architecture
- A track record of successfully designing, building, and maintaining complex, real-time, multi-process software systems
- Deep knowledge in robotic system design, integration, debugging, verification, and testing, especially for industrial robotic manipulators
- Experience interfacing with low-level robotic hardware controllers
- We value candidates who are passionate about what they build, feel a strong sense of ownership over their work, and love being continually challenged
- You are someone who cares deeply about your team so you are both direct and believe in doing what you say
What the job involves
- We are looking for a full-time Senior Robotics Software Engineer whose work will help us improve the capabilities of our robot control stack, working closely with our state-of-the-art perception and powerful adaptive decision-making algorithms
- As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer, you will lead the motion planning and robot control efforts at OSARO
- You will help optimize our software architecture and code to ensure the best performance for our algorithms and systems
- You will collaborate with every engineering team from Mechatronics to Machine Learning to Infrastructure
- Leading development of path planning and/or robot control systems for industrial robotic manipulators
- Architecting, designing, and implementing software interfaces with industrial robots to obtain optimal real-time performance
- Leading software design discussions and code reviews
- Working closely with other robotics and software engineers to design, implement and test robotic algorithms (hardware integrations, kinematics, dynamics, trajectory planning, etc.)
- Building robust, production-ready code for near-term deployment
- Developing forward-looking advanced controllers and control algorithms for robotic arms to make our system increasingly performant, robust, and general
Our take
The robotics revolution has begun, with the sale of industrial robots on the rise, as they replace humans in hazardous workplaces. Osaro supplies robots for picking, bagging, inducting, and other industrial eCommerce tasks, to free people from dangerous jobs and implement automation towards optimized factory-floor efficiency.
Founded in 2015, Osaro was the first company to take a software-only approach to the robotics sector. With a focus on Intelligent Automation, which utilises deep learning technology, the company was able to compete with larger robotics firms, successfully bringing adaptive learning to the industrial robotics space. Osaro's robotic systems are not limited by their programming, but instead can be continually adapted as they learn, leveraging machine learning, artificial intelligence, and cutting-edge vision technologies to do so.
As the leader in eCommerce robotics, Osaro has an established position from which to extend business reach and develop further solutions. A partnership with Fanuc, a robotics giant that was previously considered a barrier to Osaro's success, demonstrates the impact that the company's technology and approach has had on the sector.
