Georgia Tech Research Institute
Robotics Engineer - ATAS - Open Rank
Georgia Tech Research Institute, Atlanta, Georgia, United States, 30383
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 DescriptionThe 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 multi-robot collaboration, swarming, path planning, navigation, world-modeling, and task allocation for aerial and surface robots.
Job PurposeA 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. The robotics engineer can develop the mechanical mechanisms that form the robot, integrate sensors such as cameras and LIDAR systems into the system, or develop the algorithms to allow the robot or autonomous system to sense its environment, plan its actions, and then execute the plan. This position contributes to the fundamental and applied understanding of robotic and autonomous systems.
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.
Required Minimum Qualifications
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
The ideal candidate will have 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.
Travel Requirements
10% - 25% travel.
Education and Length of Experience
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 Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or any related field.
0 years of related experience with a Ph.D. in Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or any related field.
U.S. Citizenship RequirementsDue to our research contracts with the U.S. federal government, candidates for this position must be U.S. Citizens.
Clearance Type RequiredCandidates must be able to obtain and maintain an active security clearance.
