Duration: 10 weeks
Date: Jun-Aug 2025
Location: Onsite, Murray Hill, NJ.

You will be doing cutting-edge and exciting work in a passionate, cross-disciplinary, and collaborative team. You will build your ideas from the drawing board and drive towards bringing them to the final product by building prototypes. Candidates with a passion for and skills related to communication, perception, planning, and control in drones and/or ground robots are invited to apply.

EDUCATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Currently a candidate for a  Ph.D, Master’s, Bachelor’s degree, or diploma in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field within an accredited school in the US.

While software is a predominant aspect of the systems we are building, the candidate must be a versatile person that understands the hardware concepts (electronics and mechanics) relevant for robotics and can perform hands-on work in that area when needed. A good understanding of relevant mathematical concepts is an absolute must.

Candidates should possess a subset of the following skills either through previous employment experience or through university academic research:

Strong knowledge of networking, system software, operating systems, and distributed systems. Strong software development skills in Python, C/C++, Golang, shell scripting, and Git. Strong mathematical background relevant to robot control, navigation, localization, vision, etc. Ability to develop and debug the system across all layers of hardware and software

It would be nice if you also had:

Can work in the “gray zone” when there is uncertainty or lack of clarity.  Very comfortable with innovation risk-taking
 

As a part of our team, you will: 

Implement large-scale distributed and networked software systems. Invent and implement new robotic algorithms and integrate them with the existing code base. Design, develop, and deploy network and server infrastructure for Industry 4.0 machine control. Create technologies with potential of becoming a future business for the company.
