- Develop decision-making and task allocation systems
- Implement collision avoidance and mission planning logic
- Build behavior trees / state machines / planners for autonomous missions
- Integrate perception and sensor fusion outputs into actions
- Develop simulation environments for large-scale autonomous testing
- Improve automation workflows to reduce operator workload
- Collaborate closely with AI, perception, and hardware teams
✅ What you need to be successful:
- Strong software engineering skills (C++ required, Python highly useful)
- Experience with robotics middleware (ROS/ROS2 or similar)
- Background in robotics, computer science, or AI-driven systems
- Knowledge of planning and decision-making algorithms
- Experience with autonomous robots or UAV systems
- Comfortable performing hands-on testing and debugging in field environments, including challenging weather conditions and time-critical operational scenarios.
