We’re looking for Robot Intelligence Engineers to join the Avular Team!
At Avular, we’re seeking multiple passionate robotics intelligence engineers to join our Autonomy team, where you’ll develop software to power the situational understanding, as well as the autonomous navigation and decision making of our driving and flying robots. Your work will enable advanced perception, navigation, behaviour, and cognition capabilities for our robots. You will work on a new generation of graph-based algorithms combining data-driven and model-driven approaches that will boost our robots' understanding of the real world and their ability to execute tasks in complex terrain autonomously. All that with a keen understanding of the robot’s hardware capabilities (and limitations) to drive the best possible solutions for our clients.
YOUR MISSION
Develop prototypes to mature functionalities related to understanding, decision making, navigation, hypergraphs and control running on the robot's on-board Linux computer.
Work on core product development and create custom solutions to meet unique customer needs.
Collaborate with other robotic / embodied AI engineers and align your approach with system architects.
Document your approach and results, and conduct tests to verify software meets specified requirements.
Analyse log files, ROS bags and (graph) databases to verify your features and perform root cause analysis for reported issues.
Propose and implement innovative solutions to enhance robot understanding and autonomy :)
WHO YOU ARE
A Master’s degree or PhD in Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Automated Planning, Control Systems, Data Science, Mathematics or a related field.
Preferably 3+ years of professional experience in robotics or embodied AI.
Strong analytical skills and algorithmic mindset, demonstrated in the field of knowledge graphs, factor graphs, (active) perception, reinforcement learning, behaviour trees and/or MDPs.
Experience implementing such solutions on hardware.
Experience with Linux, IsaacSim, ROS2, C++, (hyper) graph databases, GPU/TPU/NPU and Git.
Familiarity working with larger software projects, managing dependencies, versioning and releases, deploying full systems.
Excellent proficiency in both spoken and written English.
Bonus: experience with Docker, unit testing, integration testing, CI/CD workflows.
Bonus: experience in agile teams, with tools like Jira and Confluence.
