Senior Software Engineer (gn) Robotics Motion Control

Your mission

At Wandelbots, we want to make programming robotic manipulation faster and easier, whether the robot is an industrial arm on a production line or a humanoid working at a bench. 

For that we are looking for your help in building crucial parts of our platform. You will be part of a team working on the core of our product – namely in the control of robotic motion. We are looking for another expert in the field of robot trajectory planning and real-time execution:

• Help us to setup an advanced high real-time feedback control system.
• Enable others to execute policy-based motions and VLAs on top of this.
• Plan collision free, synchronous, optimized trajectories for multiple robots.

The team is working in the complex ecosystem of NOVA, providing a central and widely used set of puzzle pieces. Because of that, bringing flexibility and willingness to learn are highly appreciated as well as cross team communication and work.

Your profile

• You have several years of professional experience as a software engineer in the field of motion control.
• You have experience in analytic-model based or neural network based, high real-time closed loop control systems.         
• You have experience in sampling-based, graph-based or optimization-based path planning.
• You are familiar with modern C++ and python and eager to learn software development processes.
• You have basic knowledge with serial or parallel manipulators.
• You have basic knowledge in multi-robot simulation and understand the basic physics behind it.
• You love challenges, solve problems, work in a self-initiated way, happy to share knowledge, and are reliable.
• You are a team player, open, communicative, passionate, and ambitious.
• You are fluent in English, both written and spoken, and you have at least started learning German.

Awesome if you have:

• Experience in sensor fusion based state estimation.
• You understand how to develop scalable high-quality software.
• You have experience with dockerized systems and Kubernetes.
• You can easily define a CI/CD pipeline, including packaging software for Conan or UV/Pip, that also runs test cases (gtest, pytest).
• You have knowledge in the field of VLAs or policy-based motion.
