The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is seeking a robotics engineer to develop hardware and/or software for electro-mechanical systems that can perform tasks with minimal human intervention, contributing to the fundamental and applied understanding of robotic and autonomous systems, particularly for autonomous uncrewed aircraft programs.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with Linux and embedded systems.
- Experience developing complex, software-intensive, systems using system engineering processes and methodologies.
- Experience designing/developing software-based systems that integrate multiple subsystems, and/or integrate multiple software applications and hardware.
- Experience integrating and troubleshooting systems to determine functional correctness, completeness, and/or effectiveness.
- Experience developing, integrating, and/or testing unmanned autonomous robotic system capabilities.
- Experience processing and analyzing data with tools such as Python or R.
- Experience with avionic data buses (e.g., MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, Ethernet, RS-422, etc.), tactical data links (e.g., Link-16), military radios, and open systems architecture frameworks (e.g., FACE™ and OMS/UCI).
Responsibilities
- Develop methods and perform research tasks to meet project objectives including directing others.
- Architect overall signal processing procedures with system integration in mind.
- Lead or contribute to the development of whitepapers and proposals to support a research area.
- Primary author of sections technical reports/presentations of projects, journal articles, and conference presentations.
- Develop and integrate new capabilities and subsystems into military systems, including the design of inter-software interfaces, inter subsystem interfaces (e.g., data, interconnects, messaging, middleware), aircraft to subsystem integration, pilot vehicle interface and test/instrumentation systems integration.
- Serve as a technical expert on assigned projects and systems including keeping up to date on use cases, system capabilities, system interfaces, engineering tools, and road maps for current and future updates.
- Isolate hardware and software component anomalies.
Other
- Support sponsors and potential sponsors engagement.
- Serve as a technical expert for a specific engineering specialty (e.g. safety engineering, hardware/software interface, digital engineering).
- Analyze flight and laboratory data to ensure system requirements are satisfied.
- Develop scripts and tools to analyze flight and laboratory data.
- Ensure that all technical work is developed to meet military, safety, and security standards.
