Fox Robotics
Senior Software Engineer, Motion Planning
Fox Robotics, Austin, Texas, us, 78716
Fox Robotics is at the bleeding edge of warehouse automation, with a focus on autonomous forklifts. As the leader in this space, Fox has clear product market fit and is scaling fast, with plans to rapidly grow from 100 employees to nearly ~160+ this year alone. With this growth, employees have a once-in-a-career opportunity to learn, all while working as part of a mission-driven team focused on making robots that work.
As a Motion Planning Software Engineer, you will develop navigation and perception capabilities on an autonomous forklift as part of our world-class autonomy team. You will adapt modern research to solve challenging problems in robotics with a key attention to performance and reliability. You will write code in a combination of Python and C++ and contribute to a scalable and robust code base. What you'll do:
Design and build one or more key components of a modern, scalable autonomy system Deliver high quality code to ensure systems are robust and reliable Work with multi-modal sensor data (e.g. stereo-depth vision, LiDAR, wheel odometry) Collaborate with engineers across multiple disciplines as part of a close-knit team Participate in production on-call support rotations Occasional travel to customer sites What you'll need: M.S. or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, or related field Strong C++ and/or Python programming skills Strong foundation in rigid-body motions and forward/inverse kinematics Expertise in motion planning, controls, point cloud processing, computer vision, or related fields Experience designing and implementing behavior trees for complex robot behaviors Proven ability to ship working real-time robotic applications Nice to have: Experience with localization and mapping algorithms (SLAM, EKF, Particle Filters, Sensor Fusion) Experience with 3D obstacle avoidance and navigation algorithms (A*, RRT*, PRM) Experience with reinforcement learning for motion planning Experience with sensors and hardware (IMU, LIDAR, Stereo-Depth Imaging, Encoders) Familiarity with deep learning-driven computer vision (Object Detection, Tracking, Semantic Segmentation) Familiarity with TensorFlow, Pytorch, PCL, and/or OpenCV Familiarity with robotic applications for supply chain logistics Benefits and perks: A once in a career opportunity to build, alongside colleagues who deeply care (plus robots that aren't bad, either!) Competitive salary and stock options Generous healthcare options 401k match Unlimited PTO Other perks that connect us, including lunch on Fridays, team building activities, and more!
More About Fox Robotics We make robots that work.
Our robotic forklifts are human multipliers: They make it possible for people to do more with less while also creating safer and more efficient working conditions. Doing more with less is how we future-proof supply chain workflows, grow our economy, and provide higher-paying jobs. We make robots that work to make life better.
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
