Job Summary
In this position, you develop software and hardware for humanoid robots, assist with simulations, create AI models, mobile VR apps, and perform testing with real robotic hardware.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- In this on-site role, you will develop software and hardware related to humanoid robots:
- Coding & Prototyping: You assist in the development and optimization of software modules and scripts (primarily in Python and/or C++).
- Simulation: You assist in testing and evaluating new AI models or control algorithms in virtual environments (e.g., NVIDIA Isaac Sim).
- Data & AI: You are involved in data collection, data processing, and training machine learning models for computer vision and reinforcement learning.
- Mobile VR Development: You will assist us in developing a Mobile VR app (using C# and the Unity engine) to create new interaction possibilities with the robot.
- Hands-on Testing: You are involved when your code is deployed to the real robot hardware, analyzing sensor and telemetry data, and assisting with debugging.
- Tooling & Infrastructure: You assist in maintaining our ROS2 ecosystem and our robotics workflow pipelines.
