Aeolus Robotics Inc. ( https://www.aeolusbot.com ) is seeking skilled and motivated roboticists who are hands-on, technical, and passionate about making their robot dreams become reality.

Job Responsibilities:

• You will contribute to various improvements of our current arm planning, simulation and control infrastructure, impacting how the robot will be able to move in semi-structured, real world environments.
• More in detail, your responsibilities will include:
• Maintaining and upgrading arm control system
• Improving and robustifying the current motion planning pipeline:
• using state of the art software and implementing new algorithms,
• optimizing code to be fast and use limited computational resources,
• using reactive strategies to adjust online to environment changes;
• Exploiting full robot capabilities by taking statics and dynamics into account;
• Exploiting full robot capabilities by taking statics and dynamics into account;
• Making robot simulation more efficient and increasing realism to reduce the need for real robot testing, involving URDF and robot model tuning.

You will be working alongside founders, researchers, and engineers to design and build first-generation robotic solutions for mass consumer adoption
