Robotics Algorithm Engineer-Motion Planning

Job description

Robotics Algorithm Engineer-Motion Planning San Jose Intelligent manufacturing / Industrial Internet / Industrial automation ResponsibilitiesRESPONSIBILITIES： - Design, implement, test, and deploy motion planning algorithms for high-DOF manipulators, with emphasis on contact-rich and compliant manipulation tasks such as assembly and surface treatment - Co-own the software interface between the motion planning stack and the whole body control module; define and maintain shared state representations, constraints, and control handoff protocols - Develop planners that reason over contact modes, contact sequencing, and force/torque constraints — not just collision-free path finding - Benchmark and evaluate planners in simulation and on real hardware across contact-rich scenarios; own reliability and task-success metrics - Collaborate across perception, control, and hardware teams to translate physical task requirements into well-defined planning problems - Drive software quality through code review, testing standards, and continuous improvement of engineering best practices - Manage and communicate development schedules and milestonesQualificationsREQUIREMENTS： - PhD or MS in Robotics,...
