Senior Robotics Algorithm Engineer (gn)

Here at Wandelbots we want to accelerate the development of robotic applications. For that, we are looking for your help in building crucial parts of our platform. You will be part of a team working with customers on building automation applications. Your objective will be building intelligent path generation solutions, for example based on vision input. This can range from rather use-case-specific process paths, to more generic safe-move-to-home or intelligent scan pose calculations. This will become even more complex once we add a work-piece-positioner into the equation. The longer-term goal is to generalize these experiences and extract building blocks as new features for our platform. What we expect you to bring to the table is a pragmatic sense for solving problems in ways that are as simple as possible, yet as complex as necessary. You know when to use the full weight of mathematical abstractions and optimization, but also when a simple hack will do the trick. You also don’t shy away from mentoring younger, less experienced colleagues.What you need

• You love challenges, solve problems, work in a self-initiated way, and are reliable.

• You have a strong mathematical background with a focus on linear algebra, numerical optimization, statistics, and related areas.

• You are capable of designing and evaluating optimization algorithms. You possess a thorough understanding of data structures, paired with strong algorithmic and logical thinking.

• You have experience in processing point clouds, implementing vision-based robotic guidance, or defining mathematical solutions for robotic motion.

• You have several years of experience building software with Python, including a deep understanding of how to profile and debug complex Python applications.

• You have no trouble defining a CI/CD pipeline generating test and release containers, that also runs tests.

• You are a team player, open, communicative, passionate, and ambitious.

• You are confident in the use of software design patterns and are able to communicate about them.

• You enjoy learning and are happy to share knowledge with your colleagues.

• You are fluent in English, both written and spoken, and you have at least started learning German.

You are awesome if

• You love robots. You have worked with them with ROS or other robotics frameworks before, and you show a strong interest in practical robotic problems in regards to robotic applications and safety.

• You have knowledge in fields related to Computer Vision.

• You possess experience with applying signal processing, machine learning algorithms or computational geometry

• Knowledge of JAX or other GPU accelerated frameworks.

• You have a deep understanding of how to develop scalable high-quality software.

• You can think outside of the box to find the best solution, engaging others along the way.
