Skydio is looking to make their autonomy system more capable and reliable for customers by developing new autonomous capabilities end-to-end and deploying them for various use cases.
Requirements
- 1+ years of experience writing production level code for autonomous robots, preferably flying robots with a high level of proficiency in C++ and Python
- Practical experience implementing state of the art algorithms in a robotics-adjacent area including computer vision, state estimation, motion planning, controls, sensor characterization and integration, UAS software and hardware development
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and a commitment to writing clean, well-designed, maintainable, readable code
Responsibilities
- Build cutting-edge autonomous capabilities through tight cross functional collaboration with our vision, planning & controls, deep learning, infrastructure, embedded, cloud, mobile, design, product, and flight test teams
- Develop core robotics algorithms to expand our autonomous operational envelope in challenging environmental conditions, including night time, in urban canyons, in areas of GNSS and C2 interference, at sea, and in precipitation
- Triage customer issues, recognize trends, and rapidly make our system more resilient to failures seen in the field
- Research investments in simulated and in-real-life test infrastructure
- Develop a deep understanding of core robotics principles coupled with a full understanding of how our system works
- Help out across the full software stack when needed, maintaining the highest standards for code quality and proactively addressing tech debt
- Conceive, design, implement, simulate, evaluate, and fly new motion planning strategies to extend capabilities and improve customer experience
Other
- Highly curious, creative, and able to communicate concepts to non-technical audiences
- Excited to use robotics to make the world safer, more productive, and more creative
- Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or other characteristics protected by federal, state or local anti-discrimination laws.
