Engineer I - Robotics

Who We Are

We are a start-up based out of Bengaluru & Delhi NCR. We are engaged in development of next generation missions and technologies (NGM&T) towards future warfare needs of the Indian defence forces. It is undertaking research towards enhancing persistence and autonomy for unmanned vehicles and robotic swarms. NRT's product development portfolio includes a solar power stratospheric high altitude pseudo satellite (HAPS) unmanned platform and an air/ground launched stand-off autonomous system.

Roles And Responsibilities

• Working and hands-on experience with 3D online realtime path planning, obstacle avoidance , Visual Inertial SLAM , EKF/UKF/Optical flow based state estimation and robot localization for UAV/mobile robots.
• Take up hardware sensor selection and have a good grounds-up understanding of hardware software integration on edge devices.
• Understanding of camera calibration, lidar/radar data acquisition and integration in application software.
• Perform hardware-in-the-loop & software-in-the-loop simulations for end application.
• Ability to bring product from simulation to real world execution with identification of risks/ limitations.
• Good leadership skills with ability to lead a team and work on architecting complete hardware and software pipeline of product from front end ground control station (GCS) to backend navigation code.
• Responsibility for documentation and verification of software stability in the long run.
• Should act as code maintainer, perform code reviews and guide the team for developing scalable architecture.
  
  

Must Have Skills

Good working experience in Autonomous UAV & Robotics.

• Experience of coding in object oriented languages like C++11,C++14 and python.
• Expertise in navigation stack development for any autonomous robot with strong hold in
• computer vision areas like SLAM, depth from stereo cameras, camera calibration etc.
• Should have worked on 3D sensor integration with linux based end application.
• Should be able to scale up navigation of UAV from single agent navigation to multi agents swarm architecture.
• Good knowledge of deploying software on hardware platforms like Snapdragon, Nvidia Jetson, Nano etc.
• Should have worked on the Linux ROS platform for software development.
• Knowledge of autopilot firmware like PX4 / Ardupilot would be a huge plus.
• Strong coordination and management skills, ability to motivate others.
  
  

Basic Requirement (education & Relevant Experience)

• Robotics engineer with 1-3 years of experience in multi-rotor UAV navigation/localization in indoor and outdoor environment.
• Btech/BE from Computer Science/Mechatronics.
