From Ryan Gariepy via ros-users@
Position: Multi-Robot Autonomy Engineer
Location: Kitchener, Ontario
Experience: 1-5 Years Relevant Work Experience
Education: Graduate Degree in Related Field
About Us
Clearpath Robotics Inc. specializes in the design and manufacture of
unmanned vehicle systems, software, and components for academic and
industrial research and development. Our clients range from small
local businesses to some of the best known technical institutions on
the planet. Based in Kitchener-Waterloo, Clearpath Robotics employs
highly talented people who live and breathe robotics. We believe that
work must have a high "cool" factor, and we're looking for people who
share in our passion to create remarkable products and change the
world.
About the Job
We require robust implementations of the latest multi-agent control
and planning algorithms that can function within the constraints of an
unstructured environment, real-world motion dynamics and sensing
constraints. We've been building robots for a while and our clients
are now asking for more than one of our robots to work together in the
field!
You will stay on top of recent developments in multi-agent control and
planning. You will continually evaluate how these algorithms will
benefit our current customers and product offering. Additionally, you
will have to figure out methods to organically incorporate multi-agent
autonomy into the autonomy features currently offered on our robots.
This includes appropriately interfacing with advanced control and
perception algorithms. Finally, you will be field testing these
algorithms to ensure robustness on the field and in real applications.
You will be spending warm summer days driving robots around outside
(cold winters too; this is Canada after all).
Your primary responsibilities will be:
* Multi-agent controller design and optimization for autonomous
vehicles with varying dynamics
* Multi-agent simulation development
* Algorithm prototyping and implementation
Additional tasks may include:
* Developing & carrying out system test plans
* General software development & testing
* Mentoring and assisting with supervision of interns
* Explaining our newest shiny toys to the sales & marketing team
About You
You want to work for a small company that thinks big and dreams huge.
You are driven, view work as more than just a job, and are never
satisfied with a project left half-done. You want to be surrounded by
people like you; creative, fun-loving, and passionate about their
work. You are motivated by making an impact on your workplace and you
thrive on challenging and rewarding problems. Oh, and you have some
form of higher education with the common sense to back it up.
Required Technical Skills:
* Graduate degree in engineering or a related field, with
applicable background
Practical knowledge of multi-agent planning and control based in a
(primarily) centralized framework
* Working knowledge of decentralized decision making and/or swarm
methodologies
Strong software development skills (C, C++, Python preferred),
Proficiency with Linux
* Hands-on experience with autonomous systems
Desired Soft Skills:
* Ability to efficiently and clearly communicate ideas, including
to those who may have a limited theoretical background in the area
* Comfortable with abrupt changes to project deadlines, job
responsibilities and the local gravity field
Bonus points for:
* ROS, MATLAB, LabVIEW, Gazebo, Player, experience
* Multi-agent networking or mesh network experience
* Understanding of sensors and their error models, particularly
laser rangefinders, GPS systems, and vision systems
* Experience with the control of skid-steer and differential drive
ground vehicles
* Ability to perform general hands-on troubleshooting of
electromechanical systems
* Exposure to SLAM and vehicle control methodologies
* Ability to diagnose broken robots by their sounds and smells
