Robotics Engineer

Description Job Description:We are currently looking for a Robotics Engineer with experience in Computer Vision for the Applied Science Division in Huntsville, AL. Our team''s mission is to: (1)Develop and demonstrate new alternative navigation technologies to meet urgent military operational needs to operate in GPS-challenged environments, and (2) Rapidly transition this technology to operational platforms to outpace the adversary threats currently being faced in the field. Project involve small teams of engineers working together in spiral or agile development environments to meet aggressive customer schedules aimed at near-term field demonstrations of emerging capabilities. Our core competencies include sensor fusion, computer vision, HW/SW integration, and machine learning. Typical customers include Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) engineering centers, Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). We are looking for a candidate who is interested in applying classic and deep learning computer visions algorithms from initial concept development through successful prototype field demonstrations.THE CHALLENGE: Develop perception algorithms using inputs from visible, infrared, radar, and LiDAR sensors to generate navigation measurements for use in sensor fusion algorithmsPrototype initial algorithms in preferred programming language (i.e., Python, Matlab, C++)Transition prototype algorithms for real-time edge execution on various System on Chips (CPU/GPU, CPU/TPU, etc.)Support field demonstrations of vision software on various manned and unmanned vehiclesWHAT SETS YOU APART: BS degree in a scientific field such as computer science, math, data science, physics, or engineering with 2+ years of prior relevant experience or Master''s with less than 2 years of prior relevant experience.
