Robotics Motion Planning Engineer

Voiceflow; New York (NY); On-site; USD 120,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

Raise Robotics is seeking a Motion Planning Engineer to develop models and algorithms for generating safe, accurate trajectories for mobile manipulation on robots deployed in real-world sites. You will implement and test the onboard motion planning stack, integrating with perception and control teams across diverse environments.

The role requires 3+ years in motion planning, experience with traditional robot platforms, and familiarity with Gazebo, MuJoCo, or Isaac.

Qualifications

• At least 3 years developing motion planning software in a professional setting.
• Expertise with classical motion planning for articulated robots (6-DOF/7-DOF arms, legged, snake or humanoid).
• Experience with navigation planning in unstructured environments.
• Experience deploying robots to work in semi-structured and unstructured environments using perception.
• Experience developing ML models for trajectory generation using RL or IL.
• Familiarity using simulation tools such as Gazebo, MuJoCo, or Isaac.

Responsibilities

• Work with existing motion planning libraries and develop custom motion planning algorithms for mobile manipulation.
• Create large scale simulations to test onboard behavior and use data analysis techniques to interpret results.
• Collaborate with perception and control engineers to determine interface requirements for accurate and safe motion.
• Analyze logs and failure cases to make improvements.
• Build task level planning logic for mobile manipulation.
