define and maintain shared state representations, constraints, and control handoff protocols\nDevelop planners that reason over contact modes, contact sequencing, and force/torque constraints - not just collision-free path finding\nBenchmark and evaluate planners in simulation and on real hardware across contact-rich scenarios; own reliability and task-success metrics\nCollaborate across perception, control, and hardware teams to translate physical task requirements into well-defined planning problems\nDrive software quality through code review, testing standards, and continuous improvement of engineering best practices\nManage and communicate development schedules and milestones\n任职要求 / Requirements\nREQUIREMENTS：\nPhD or MS in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field - or equivalent industry experience\n3+ years of hands-on experience with robotic systems software engineering\nProficiency in C++ and/or Python; demonstrated experience deploying motion planning software on real robots and simulators\nStrong theoretical and practical understanding of motion planning for high-DOF manipulators, including planners that operate under contact and force constraints\nSolid grounding in robot kinematics and dynamics forward/inverse kinematics, Jacobian methods, rigid body dynamics, and force/torque reasoning\nAbility to work independently, take ownership, and continuously raise the bar on engineering standards\nPREFERRED SKILLS\nStrong candidates will have experience in one or more of the following areas:\nExperience with whole body control, impedance control, or admittance control for compliant manipulation\nFamiliarity with contact mechanics and hybrid force-motion control e.g. force-controlled insertion, peg-in-hole, surface following, deburring, or polishing tasks\nExperience with trajectory generation for robot manipulators, including time-optimal parameterization and smooth Cartesian trajectory design e.g. time-optimal path parameterization (TOPP), C² continuous Cartesian trajectories, jerk-limited motion profiles, spline-based or Bézier representations; awareness of how trajectory smoothness affects contact stability and surface quality\nBackground in numerical optimization and optimal control e.g. trajectory optimization, MPC, QP solvers - especially with contact constraints\nExperience applying reinforcement learning to contact-rich or high-DOF manipulation e.g. model-free / model-based RL, sim-to-real transfer, policy learning for dexterous tasks\nExperience with ROS / ROS2 in multi-process, real-time robotic systems\nFamiliarity with PyTorch / CUDA for scientific computing or learning-based planners\nProven ability to pick up a new knowledge domain and deliver production-quality code","description_format":"text","description_chars":3074,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Robotic Software & Control Systems","Artificial Intelligence"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-17T02:35:49Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":3,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.106,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":192,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/flexiv-robotics-algorithm-engineer-motion-planning","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/flexiv-robotics-algorithm-engineer-motion-planning.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T19:29:44Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2744,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3865383},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3865383"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fflexiv-robotics-algorithm-engineer-motion-planning"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fflexiv-robotics-algorithm-engineer-motion-planning"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fflexiv-robotics-algorithm-engineer-motion-planning"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/flexiv-robotics-algorithm-engineer-motion-planning\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fflexiv-robotics-algorithm-engineer-motion-planning"}]}
