Job Summary
Integrate and maintain the manipulator stack in ROS 2, own controller interfaces, and build contact-rich experimental tasks for insertion, grasping, and force-aware interaction. Lead hardware-in-the-loop adversarial experiments on embodied systems, define safe operating envelopes, and diagnose failures across perception, planning, and control dynamics. Reformulate observed robotic failures into researchable problems, evaluation protocols, and publications. Own the manipulator-based infrastructure required for physical-AI vulnerability scanning, including real-vs-sim embodiment integration and recovery logic.
Required Qualifications
- Demonstrated senior-level research or innovation record, evidenced by peer-reviewed publications, meaningful patents, major contributions to recognised robotics/AI systems, open-source robotics infrastructure, or deployed advanced robotic systems
- Led at least one full-cycle research or advanced R&D project from problem formulation through implementation, experimental validation, and tangible outcome
- Strong hands-on experience with real robots in research, advanced prototyping, or production-like experimental settings
- Deep ROS 2 experience, including hardware integration and debugging
- Experience with robot control, motion planning, and safety boundaries
- Experience integrating force/torque sensing and ideally tactile, wrist, or gripper sensing
- Comfort with contact-rich tasks, recovery behaviours, and failure diagnosis
- Strong Python and C++ skills
- Demonstrated ownership of messy real-world robotic systems, not just model development
