  • Conduct experimental validation of robotic systems in lab and field environments, including underground and open-pit mining scenarios.
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, including mechanical engineers, AI researchers, and industry partners, to advance robotic deployment strategies.
  • Optimize robotic performance for harsh and unstructured environments, focusing on reliability and adaptability.
  • Document research findings, contribute to scientific publications, and present results at conferences and industry meetings.

The ideal candidate has:

  • Strong programming skills in C++ and Python, with experience in ROS/ROS2 and real-time systems.
  • Experience in robotic perception (e.g., sensor fusion, SLAM, object detection) and motion planning.
  • Hands-on experience in deploying robotic systems in real-world environments, preferably in mining, industrial, or extreme environments.
  • Proficiency in working with robotic hardware, embedded systems, and mechatronic integration.
  • Knowledge of control algorithms, kinematics, and dynamics for robotic applications.
  • Ability to work independently and in a collaborative research setting.
  • Strong analytical skills and problem-solving abilities.
  • Experience with machine learning or AI techniques applied to robotics is a plus.

As a formal qualification, you must have a master's degree in engineering or equivalent.
