NASA robotics engineer
Intelligent Robotics Group, NASA Ames Research Center, Silicon Valley

Are you ready to *reinvent* space robotics? Do you want to write code that
runs in *space* or on other *planets*? Do you believe that good *software*
is critical to creating amazing robots? If so...

The NASA Ames Intelligent Robotics Group is looking for a full-time robot
software engineer to help create the next generation of space robots. This
is a unique opportunity to develop software for a variety of robots,
including a new free-flying robot for the International Space Station and a
planetary rover for the Moon.

Applicants should hold a B.S. (or higher) in Computer Science, Electrical
Engineering, or Robotics. Applicants should also have excellent robotic
systems development skills. A strong background in Linux-based development
and open-source tools is required, plus:

   - Strong background in robotics (preferably field or mobile robots)
   - Significant development experience with C/C++, Java, and GNU tools
   - Experience with robot software architecture and/or middleware

In addition, knowledge in one (or more) of the following areas is greatly
preferred:

   - Autonomy (motion/task planning, executives, etc)
   - Embedded systems (especially Linux/ARM and Android/ARM)
   - Navigation (metric and topological)
   - Computer vision (3D sensors, tracking, mapping)

If you are interested in applying for this position, please email the
following:

   1. letter describing your background and software experience
   2. current resume
   3. contact details for two (or more) references

to Chris Provencher <chris.provencher at nasa.gov>

U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status required.

The NASA Ames Intelligent Robotics Group (IRG) is dedicated to enabling
humans and robots to explore and learn about extreme environments, remote
locations, and uncharted worlds. IRG conducts applied research in a wide
range of areas with an emphasis on robotics systems science and field
testing. IRG's expertise includes applied computer vision (navigation,
planetary mapping, automated science support), interactive 3D user
interfaces, robot software architecture, and planetary rovers. Learn more at
