Senior Development Engineer – Navigation & Controls

•           Programming: Proficiency in C, C++, and/or Python on Linux platforms.

•           Simulation & Testing: Experience with simulation tools (e.g., Gazebo, Carla), real-time data logging, and hardware-in-the-loop setups.

•           Develop and implement advanced motion planning algorithms such as A*, RRT, RRT*, and graph-based planners for indoor environments.

•           Design robust control strategies including PID, Model Predictive Control (MPC), and learning-based controllers for smooth and accurate trajectory execution.

•           Integrate localization, obstacle avoidance, and path-following into a unified navigation pipeline.

•           Utilize ROS/ROS2 for developing modular and scalable navigation stacks.

•           Simulate navigation scenarios using tools like Gazebo, CARLA, or Webots and validate performance using real robot platforms.

•           Fuse data from multiple sensors including LiDAR, depth cameras, IMUs, and wheel encoders to enhance localization and control precision.

•           Collaborate with perception, systems engineering, and hardware teams for seamless system-level integration.

•           Implement drive-by-wire and safety layers for electric forklift platforms, adhering to industry-standard functional safety principles (e.g., ISO 26262).

•           Contribute to architecture design, code reviews, and high-quality documentation for long-term maintainability.
