Senior Robotics Software Engineer – Lunar Rover Localization

Job description

Starpath Starpath develops and manufactures the technologies that will enable humans to live on the Moon and Mars. Today, we are building robotic systems that locally produce the essential commodities a lunar civilization will require at extreme scale: water, power, and oxygen. Our ultimate goal is to build and operate a self-sustaining city on Mars. Senior Robotics Software Engineer - Lunar Rover Localization In this role, you will own the software for accurately determining and tracking the position of our lunar rovers as they navigate on the surface of the Moon. This position requires strong technical understanding of localization algorithms and hands-on experience getting localization systems to work robustly on real robots in the real world. The right candidate for this job is someone who can decide on a technical approach, write the software to implement that approach, test the system on the real rover and in simulation, evaluate the performance of the system, understand where it works well and where it works poorly, decide whether to refine this approach or pivot to a different approach, and repeat this entire cycle quickly.
