Robotics Software Engineer - Localization
Rapyuta Robotics, Japan

Description

We are developing the world’s first enterprise-level Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for robots, creating a rare opportunity for an experienced, product-focused engineering professional. Our PaaS aims to offer innovative features to handle every part of the product life cycle required to aid and deliver robust, scalable, and state-of-the-art robotics solutions to the end user. You will own key components of perception services for our robots.

• Develop, and test robust 2D and 3D localization capabilities in semi-structured, dynamic environments in indoor and outdoor settings
• Devise the long term technical roadmap for the localization systems
• Maintain high-level of communication with team members and team lead
• Participate in software design reviews and architecture reviews
• Work independently to develop and deploy state-of-the-art localization solutions
• Take ownership, develop in-depth understanding and maintain a knowledge repository for those localization solutions
