Aeronautics, Algorithm Development, Artificial Intelligence, Modeling/Simulation, Robotics/Automated Systems, Software Development/Design, System Engineering, Autonomous Systems
Overview:
The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is the nonprofit, applied research division of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). Founded in 1934 as the Engineering Experiment Station, GTRI has grown to more than 2,900 employees, supporting eight laboratories in over 20 locations around the country and performing more than $940 million of problem-solving research annually for government and industry. GTRI's renowned researchers combine science, engineering, economics, policy, and technical expertise to solve complex problems for the U.S. federal government, state, and industry.
Project/Unit Description
The GTRI Robotics and Autonomous Systems Division is looking for Scientists and Engineers specializing in robotic algorithm development, field-testing, and dynamical systems control. You will be joining a growing robotics division primarily focused on the development of real-time algorithms for robotics applications, including but not limited to multi-robot collaboration, swarming, path planning, navigation, world-modeling, and task allocation for aerial and surface robots.
Job Purpose
A robotics engineer develops the hardware and/or software that enables electro-mechanical systems to perform a series of tasks with little or no human involvement. This position contributes to the fundamental and applied understanding of robotic and autonomous systems. The robotics researcher develops the advanced autonomous planning, coordination, perception, and control algorithms that enable a mobile robot or team of robots to operate in dynamic environments.
Key Responsibilities
Perform autonomous robotic algorithm development and validation tasks with limited direction from supervisor.Analyze experimental robotic system logs to determine performance with limited direction from supervisor.Develop expertise in specific areas such as controls, software development, behavior development.Contribute to white papers and proposals with supporting background or data analysis.Contribute to technical reports/presentations of projects, journal articles, and conference presentations.
Additional Responsibilities
Develop real-time algorithms for robotics applications, including multi-robot collaboration, swarming, path planning, guidance, navigation, and/or task allocation on robots in one or more domains (air, ground, or sea).Perform rapid simulation development, prototyping, and field-testing. Generate research reports, publication, proposals, and briefs to our customers.Experience with C++, Python, ROS, Linux, and/or robotic simulation engines like Gazebo and SCRIMMAGE.
Required Minimum Qualifications
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.Hands-on experience with state-of-the-art algorithms on real-world mobile robot systems, including field test experimentation or robotic competitions.Experience with C++, Python, ROS, Linux, and/or robotic simulation engines like Gazebo and SCRIMMAGE.
Preferred Qualifications
Active Secret Clearance.Experience with fast prototyping in MATLAB and/or Python as well as transitioning and deploying these algorithms into C++ for real-time operation on a robot in real-world environments.Experience in one or more of the following is desirable:Multi-robot teamsPath planning and navigationBehavior-based roboticsOptimal control and estimationMachine learning for robotic controlA strong history of publication or hardware-implementation of advanced algorithms demonstrating the ability to perform independent research is desired.
Travel Requirements
10% - 25% travel.
Education and Length of Experience
This position vacancy is an open-rank announcement. The final job offer will be dependent on candidate qualifications in alignment with Research Faculty Extension Professional ranks as outlined in section 3.2.1 of the Georgia Tech Faculty Handbook.2-5 years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or any related field.0-3 years of related experience with a Master's degree in the same fields.0 years of related experience with a Ph.D. in the same fields.
U.S. Citizenship Requirements
Due to our research contracts with the U.S. federal government, candidates for this position must be U.S. Citizens.
Clearance Type Required
Candidates must be able to obtain and maintain an active security clearance.
