Over the next decade, Georgia Tech will become an example of inclusive innovation, a leading technological research university of unmatched scale, relentlessly committed to serving the public good; breaking new ground in addressing the biggest local, national, and global challenges and opportunities of our time; making technology broadly accessible; and developing exceptional, principled leaders from all backgrounds ready to produce novel ideas and create solutions with real human impact.
The GTRI Robotics and Autonomous Systems Division is looking for Scientists and Engineers specializing in robotic algorithm development, field-testing, and dynamical systems control. You will be joining a growing robotics division primarily focused on the development of real-time algorithms for robotics applications, including but not limited to multi-robot collaboration, swarming, path planning, navigation, world-modeling, and task allocation for aerial and surface robots.
A robotics engineer develops the hardware and/or software that enables electro-mechanical systems to perform a series of tasks with little or no human involvement. The robotics engineer can develop the mechanical mechanisms that form the robot, integrate sensors such as cameras and LIDAR systems into the system, or develop the algorithms to allow the robot or autonomous system to sense its environment, plan its actions, and then execute the plan. This position contributes to the fundamental and applied understanding of robotic and autonomous systems. The robotics researcher develops the advanced autonomous planning, coordination, perception and control algorithms that enable a mobile robot or team of robots to operate in dynamic environments. The engineer can also interface with perceptual, actuation, communication and other systems to enable the robot to sense, plan actions, coordinate actions according to mission plans and execute the plans. This position may incorporate a fundamental understanding of robotic control and path planning as well as an applied understanding of robotics systems.
This position vacancy is an open-rank announcement. The final job offer will be dependent on candidate qualifications in alignment with Research Faculty Extension Professional ranks as outlined in section 3.2.1 of the Georgia Tech Faculty Handbook
Please refer to our Research Faculty Technical Level Guidelines for minimum requirements at the higher levels (2,3,4).
Due to our research contracts with the U.S. federal government, candidates for this position must be U.S. Citizens.
Candidates must be able to obtain and maintain an active security clearance.
