Associate Principal Robotics Engineer

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:

1. Design, implement and evaluate novel sensing solutions for Dyson’s next generation robotic platforms, to address real world robotic challenges. 
2. Prototype solutions in simulation and in hardware to perform thorough quantitative evaluation to assess suitability and robustness. 
3. Seek out, understand and resolve the challenging edge cases that arise when operating in real-world domestic environments. 
4. Work within multidisciplinary team to design systems that take into account the physical, computational and cost constraints of the target platform. 
5. Develop software in C++ and Python, and deploy & test on prototype/target hardware. 
6. Maintain awareness of emerging technologies within robotics, and keep up to date with industry best practices and trends.
