Zusammenfassung

Verity is seeking an experienced robotics software engineer to advance autonomous drone capabilities in challenging warehouse environments. You will own onboard autonomy software, enhance perception and mapping, and help coordinate fleets through cloud backends.

Ideal candidates have a MSc or higher in a robotics-related field with 4+ years of industry experience. A strong C++/Python skillset, SLAM experience, and a drive to push safety-critical drone tech are essential.

Qualifikationen

• MSc (or higher) in robotics, control systems, computer science, or a related field, with 4+ years of industry experience in autonomous systems or robotics.
• Strong, hands-on proficiency in modern C++ (performance, reliability, maintainability) and familiarity with Python.
• Solid foundation in robotics perception and state estimation - e.g. 3D mapping, sensor fusion, probabilistic filtering, SLAM, and machine vision.
• Experience with motion planning and/or autonomous navigation, and a good intuition for how sensing and estimation feed into safe robot behavior.
• Ability to quickly understand, navigate, and improve a large existing codebase; strong debugging, profiling, and refactoring skills on embedded systems with real-time requirements.
• Familiarity with drone technology, embedded systems, or real-time / safety-critical control software is highly desirable.

Aufgaben

• Push the state of the art in autonomous exploration and mapping of unknown 3D environments under real-time and compute constraints.
• Own the design, development, and optimization of the autonomy software that runs onboard our drones in real time, with a focus on robustness and reliability.
• Take collision avoidance and obstacle handling to the next level, ensuring drones operate safely in complex, dynamic environments.
• Contribute to the cloud backend systems that coordinate multi-drone fleet operations, bridging onboard autonomy with fleet-level planning.
• Collaborate with other engineering teams to integrate perception, planning, and flight execution into one reliable autonomy pipeline. Conduct rigorous testing and validation in simulation, on the bench, and in the field, and provide technical support to troubleshoot and resolve issues.
