Associate Principal Robotics Engineer - Research.
United Kingdom - Hullavington Office
About us.
At Dyson, we’ve been developing robot technology for over 20 years with 200 engineers in play, 420 patents and continuous investment allocated to this growth area. For us, this is just the start of the domestic robotics revolution.
Our goal is to build world-leading robotics teams focused on developing advanced domestic robots to go into real homes and help real people. Our multidisciplinary teams are already one of the largest Robotics groups in the world and is growing fast. We offer applicants the opportunity to work on some of the field's most challenging problems alongside some of its best engineers and scientists.
About the role.
This is an opportunity to drive Dyson's ambitious robotics research programme forward by planning, designing, and developing cutting-edge robotics perception & localisation systems to solve problems in real world robotics. The role involves the research and development of systems for Dyson’s future autonomous and intelligent products.
You will be working in a highly multidisciplinary diverse (and super-friendly) team covering topics including Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Robot Control, Mechatronics and Electronics, Human-Robot Interaction, all with the backdrop of friendly and multi-cultural work environment.
Accountabilities are as follows:
- Design, implement and evaluate novel sensing solutions for Dyson’s next generation robotic platforms, to address real world robotic challenges.
- Prototype solutions in simulation and in hardware to perform thorough quantitative evaluation to assess suitability and robustness.
- Seek out, understand and resolve the challenging edge cases that arise when operating in real-world domestic environments.
- Work within multidisciplinary team to design systems that take into account the physical, computational and cost constraints of the target platform.
- Develop software in C++ and Python, and deploy & test on prototype/target hardware.
- Maintain awareness of emerging technologies within robotics, and keep up to date with industry best practices and trends.
About you.
We're seeking to hire individuals who have first-hand experience of applied robotics and a portfolio of robotics projects. We would love to hear from those with initiative, creativity, and the ability to learn fast, along with a cross-section of skills that will make a contribution to the company.
As a growing team working at the forefront of robotics research, applicants are required to be excellent communicators capable of explaining complex concepts clearly and succinctly. It's essential that all have experience that aligns to working within tightly coupled, cross-functional and multi-cultural team environments. The objective will be to work autonomously under limited supervision to achieve big-picture goals.
We would love you to have the following experience:
- Higher degree (or equivalent industrial experience) in robotics or related disciplines, applied to practical robotics sensing and perception problems.
- Experience using a range of proprioceptive and exteroceptive sensing technologies, with a good understanding of their characteristics, limitations and combination.
- Experience designing, developing, deploying and testing proof of concept hardware and software prototypes.
- Experience with 3D obstacle avoidance, state estimation, SLAM and localisation across a range of sensor modalities.
- Self motivation and an ability to work in an interdisciplinary team.
- Experience with robotics simulation (e.g. Gazebo, PyBullet)
- Proficiency in C++, Python, and ROS (Robot Operating System) and other open-source libraries and tools.
- Experience developing and deploying software in a Linux environment using modern development practices.
Desirable:
- 3+ year applied robotics experience.
- Experience working with mobile robots operating within complex real-world environments.
