London, Greater London, United Kingdom Opteran Technologies Ltd Full time

Do you possess experience in building and deploying algorithms that enable machines to perceive, make decisions, and move in the world? If so, we have an exciting new challenge for you.

Opteran is hiring a Localisation Engineer with a focus on localisation to extract and embed the algorithms embodied by natural brains into software, allowing for the creation of truly intelligent autonomous machines.

What you will do in your first 6-12 months:

  • Work on Opteran's pioneering algorithms for perception, navigation, decision making, and action
  • Build out the core features in our product roadmap to meet the needs of specific use cases
  • Integrate Opteran's autonomy stack into robots and test them in the real world
  • Collaborate with our testing and simulation engineers to refine our algorithms performance across target use cases and quantify our operational envelope
  • Rapidly prototype novel algorithms research to develop initial proofs of concept
  • Use version control and documentation to manage project lifecycles

The Company

After 8 years of research, Opteran has pioneered brain biomimicry - the ability to understand real brains and re-engineer them. Starting with how insect brains see, avoid collisions, navigate and make decisions, reproducing these biological systems so efficiently they run on low-end silicon to enable machines to behave more naturally. Providing an alternative to current photogrammetry and DL approaches, this has broken through today's limitations; not only is it small, lightweight and ultra-low powered, it is orders of magnitude more robust and is also verifiable, is edge only and does not require data. We call it 'natural intelligence'.

The Person

Required:

The key skills and qualities of a Localisation Engineer:

  • A PhD in robotics, computer science, or related fields
  • A strong understanding of algorithm design and implementation
  • Experience developing in C++
  • An understanding of development in industry best-practice environments (version control / CI / agile)
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and an ability to function effectively in a team.

Desired:

In addition, there are a number of skills that are desirable but not essential:

  • A strong theoretical understanding of SLAM and the common approaches used to solve this
  • Experience designing and implementing SLAM algorithms
  • Publications in well regarded and relevant academic journals/conferences, for example ICRA, IROS, RSS, CVPR.
  • Academic experience in biologically feasible autonomy algorithms, such as VPR or other biomimetic approaches to autonomy
  • Experience of real world deployment of novel algorithms onto robots
  • ROS/ROS2 development experience

Benefits

  • 25 days holiday per year (plus 8 UK public holidays)
  • Eligible for our employee equity scheme
  • Flexible working hours; holiday swaps
  • Team socials
  • Salary sacrifice and 5% employee contribution to the company pension scheme
