Job description
At Toyota Research Institute (TRI), we’re on a mission to improve the quality of human life. We’re developing new tools and capabilities to amplify the human experience. To lead this transformative shift in mobility, we’ve built a world-class team in Human-Centered AI, Human Interactive Driving, Energy and Materials, Machine Learning, and Robotics.
The Team
Our mission is to advance the state-of-the-art in robotic manipulation by allowing dexterous behaviors to be efficiently taught, learned, and improved over time in challenging environments. We operate at the intersection of state-of-the-art simulation, perception, controls, and machine learning in the context of robotic manipulation, and we measure our success in terms of capabilities that we can transfer towards productization, as well as research impact via publications, seminars, and contributions to open-source software. If you are passionate about our mission, and think your background makes you well suited to help us push forward towards a future of general and adaptable robots manipulating their surroundings, then come talk to us and help us see how your expertise will help make that future a reality!
Responsibilities
- Research and contribute to the design of novel robotic systems through software development, including: sensory subsystems, actuation/control, and perception/planning.
- Enable research in areas such as contact-rich motion planning and whole-body manipulation by working with mechanical/electrical engineers, technicians, and researchers to build and integrate new enabling hardware and software technologies.
- Help robotics research scientists work toward applying and integrating their research toward more robust, perceptive, or scalable systems.
- Design and integrate creative system solutions; combining actuation, structure, and sensing, as well as new mechanisms and sensory for human-scale manipulation. Optionally contribute to the hardware design of these systems.
Qualifications
- B.S. or higher in an engineering related field and 4+ years of relevant industry experience.
- Experience with a full-stack approach to robotics, including familiarity with mechanical concepts and design, electronic systems and actuation, as well as practical software design.
- Strong software engineering skills, including experience developing in C++ and/or Python.
- The ability to design and deploy integrated systems that complement and bring to bear advanced software and learning algorithms.
- Deep multi-functional understanding of all levels of a robotic system including both hardware and software, with experience operating robots.
- Background or familiarity with some of the following: motion control and actuation, motion planning, common communication protocols, industrial/research robotic arms, visual perception sensors, machine learning, robotic simulation, force and tactile sensing systems.
