Robotics Algorithm Engineer (AMR / AGV Navigation & Scheduling)
San Jose, CA
Full-time
Onsite
Mid, Senior LevelBrighture Inc. is focused on developing an in-house navigation and scheduling stack for their commercial AMR system. The Robotics Algorithm Engineer will work on real robots to design and implement algorithms for navigation, scheduling, and system-level delivery, ensuring stability and efficiency in real-world environments.
Industrial Automation
Responsibilities
Design, implement, or optimize AMR navigation algorithms, including: Localization (LiDAR / Odometry / Sensor Fusion), Path planning & motion planning, Obstacle avoidance and recovery behaviors
Improve system robustness in real environments: Localization drift, Narrow passages and dynamic obstacles, Long-duration operation stability
Work closely with system and application engineers to engineer algorithms into production-ready systems
Design or improve fleet-level algorithms, including: Task assignment, Multi-robot path conflict handling, Deadlock / livelock detection and recovery, Resource contention (intersections, narrow aisles, shared stations)
Implement practical, explainable, and stable strategies, prioritizing reliability over theoretical optimality
Collaborate with: Navigation system, Scheduling / fleet manager, Low-level control systems (PLC / motor controllers)
Diagnose and distinguish: Algorithmic issues, System architecture limitations, Engineering or integration problems
Continuously improve system behavior using logs, metrics, and real robot data
Qualification
