Robotics Algorithm Engineer
HELLBENDER Inc., 620 William Pitt Way, Pittsburgh, PA 15238
What you will do
- Design and implement algorithms for motion planning, trajectory optimization, and robotic control (e.g., D*, PRM, MPC, GCS, graph planners, sampling planners, trajectory optimization, learned neural planners, etc.)
- Develop perception pipelines including SLAM, sensor fusion, object detection, and localization using LiDAR, Event, frame, and stereo cameras, IMUs, RADARs, and other sensors (e.g. SLAM, SFM, EFK, UKF, graph solvers, OpenCV, etc.)
- Build and refine kinematic and dynamic models for robotic manipulators, mobile platforms, or multi-body systems
- Optimize deep learning and classical CV algorithms for real-time inference on embedded/edge hardware (e.g., GPUs, NPUs, FPGAs)
- Validate and refine algorithms through physical hardware in the loop testing before product deployment
- Profile and debug latency, throughput, and accuracy tradeoffs across the perception-to-control pipeline
- Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software teams to integrate algorithms into full robotic systems
