We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Robotics Engineer, that excels at system-level thinking and debugging, to join our dynamic team. You will be supporting deployment bring-up, communicating technical project requirements, identifying technical issues and working with the team to find solutions. We’re looking for Robotics Engineers to support and integrate technologies for autonomous systems.
What You'll Be Doing
Day-to-day working at an active mine site with 3-4 autonomous trucks deployed
Running autonomous trucks through ISO and internal testing and calibration
Combining the autonomous system's feature capabilities in order to complete the mine plan
Identifying additional feature requirements; discussing feature specifications and tests
Supporting and troubleshooting of issues on site during production hours. Observing unexpected behavior and diagnosing whether it is due to the base truck, hardware, software, network, infrastructure, etc.
Building reports on uptime, common issues, haulage analysis, etc.
Utilizing and building debug tooling to find issues, including but not limited to: remote access to the autonomous trucks, plotting/observation of messages within a truck computer and on the central site server, utilizing outputs from processes on the trucks, restarting processes, etc.
Building out systems to identify, categorize, and debug issues as they arise. Finding trends within issues and using data over time to identify which issues cause the most downtime.
Testing new features outside of production hours; observe and report issues.
Working closely with the Pronto USA team to communicate issues, feature/system requirements, testing and results, and new release changes.
Working closely with the Prontobras Brazil operations team to achieve project goals.
Requirements
2+ years of non-internship professional robotics experience
Programming experience with at least one modern language such as Python, Java, C++, or C#, including object-oriented design. Python is preferred.
Proven experience in robotics engineering, with a portfolio of projects demonstrating system-level understanding and debugging capabilities.
Able to create and debug software systems: building maintainable code with good diagnostics that scales. Able to debug across the entire stack: base truck, autonomy hardware, robotics, fleet software.
Excellent at handling ambiguous or undefined problems
Experience working with and debugging Linux systems.
Strong communication and collaboration skills, capable of working effectively in a multidisciplinary team and communicating technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
Demonstrated ability to lead technical projects, including planning, execution, and successful deployment.
Excellent organizational skills: ability to organize results from tests and observations in order to identify trends
Knowledge and interest in a variety of robotics-related topics: localization, controls, path planning, safety systems, sensor fusion, interfacing with third-party or custom hardware, camera pipelines, and/or machine learning.
