About the Role:

As a Robot Application Algorithm Engineer, you will work with industrial
robotic manipulation scenarios such as grasping, assembly, and precision
insertion, responsible for robot visual perception, grasp and manipulation
planning, closed-loop vision/force-feedback control, and system deployment.


Location: Reno, NV preferred; open to candidates located anywhere in the
U.S.


Responsibilities Also Include:

* Develop robot visual perception systems, including object detection,
instance segmentation, object localization, 6D pose estimation, point
cloud processing/registration, and grasp pose computation.
* Using robot motion planning frameworks such as MoveIt/MoveIt2,
deliver a complete closed-loop workflow from visual localization to
robot execution, including kinematics solving, grasp pose planning,
collision detection, and motion planning.
* Combine vision, depth information, and force/torque feedback to
perform online correction of end-effector poses, improving task
success rates under target position errors, assembly tolerances, and
environmental variations.
* Integrate the robot software architecture and vision, planning, and
control modules based on ROS/ROS2.
* Responsible for robot on-site deployment, production-line adaptation,
integration and commissioning with upstream and downstream equipment,
and issue troubleshooting; continuously optimize cycle time, success
rate, and stability; prepare technical documentation and train
on-site personnel.
* Participate in validation of robot manipulation algorithms based on
VLA, imitation learning, reinforcement learning, etc., including
end-to-end policies from visual input to robot action output, as well
as precision manipulation strategies that fuse vision and force
feedback.


What You Should Have:

* Bachelor's degree or above in Robotics, Automation, Computer Science,
or a related field.
* 3+ years of experience in robot vision-guided grasping algorithms or
robot application development.
* Familiar with forward/inverse kinematics, coordinate transformations,
trajectory planning, and the basic principles of robot arm control.
* Familiar with OpenCV, PCL, RGB-D cameras, etc., with hands-on
experience in object detection/segmentation, point cloud processing,
object pose estimation, or grasp pose computation.
* Familiar with camera calibration, hand-eye calibration, and
transformations from vision coordinates to robot coordinates;
understand the principles of robot force control and compliant
control.
* Hands-on experience with real-robot commissioning/debugging and
industrial project deployment.


Nice to Have:

* Familiarity with VLA + RL / learning-based manipulation methods such
as RECAP and RLT is preferred;
* Practical experience with impedance control, admittance control, or
hybrid force/position control
