Gideon Brothers develops autonomous, collaborative and modular robot platforms and autonomy technologies for unstructured, indoor, human environments. Our robots are designed to assist operations in various industries. In our offices in Zagreb and Osijek, we have gathered a team of 90+ super-talented people, including ten PhDs and 45+ Masters of robotics hardware and software engineering and related disciplines. We are looking for a Navigation R&D Engineer for our Zagreb office.
Scope of work:
We are looking for a Research and Development Engineer responsible for designing and implementing real-time motion planning algorithms for various robots in complex dynamic environments.
Navigation R&D Engineer will be responsible for developing and maintaining our navigation stack or a part of it. Your topics may include but are not limited to single-robot path planning, path following, dynamic object tracking, multi-robot coordination, and planning. We need an innovative engineer who will push the boundaries of robots’ capabilities while maintaining the flexibility and safety of the robots and the environment.
Help our robots find the optimal route in the next generation of industrial environments. 😊
