About Azalea Robotics Corporation

Automating airport baggage handling with robots. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

As a Senior Robotics Engineer at Azalea Robotics, you will own core autonomy software end to end: from the localization, mapping, and steering that drive the mobile bases in our ARC 1 systems, through the trajectory generation, planning, and control that drive our manipulators. You will take algorithms from concept to deployed hardware, working closely with perception, applications, and hardware teams.

What they're looking for

  • M.S. or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent hands-on engineering experience)
  • 5+ years of industry experience in robotics, shipping production autonomy software on deployed platforms (AVs, AMRs, AGVs, or robotic manipulators)
  • Expert-level Modern C++ (14/17/20), including a deep understanding of memory management, multi-threading, and the development of deterministic, real-time systems
  • Strong Python skills for rapid prototyping, data analysis, and tool development
  • Deep understanding of 3D geometry, linear algebra, and coordinate transformations (quaternions, SE(3))
  • Demonstrated depth in at least one of the following, with working breadth across the others:
More about this role

As a Senior Robotics Engineer at Azalea Robotics, you will own core autonomy software end to end: from the localization, mapping, and steering that drive the mobile bases in our ARC 1 systems, through the trajectory generation, planning, and control that drive our manipulators. You will take algorithms from concept to deployed hardware, working closely with perception, applications, and hardware teams. Candidates should have a strong background in robotics, state estimation, motion planning, control theory, optimization, and system dynamics.

Develop and maintain core autonomy software across the stack: localization, mapping, and steering for our mobile bases, and trajectory generation, path planning, and control for our robotic platforms

Design and implement real-time trajectory optimization and model predictive control strategies, and lead the development of robust, adaptive control systems

Develop novel motion planning algorithms (sampling-based and optimization-based) for complex, high-DOF robotic systems

Test software directly on real hardware, closing the loop between algorithm development and on-robot performance

Create and maintain simulation environments for testing and...
