About the role

🧠What will you do as a UxV and Robotics Engineer?

You will be part of the Advanced Communications Area, within the Autonomous and Unmanned Systems line, where you will combine applied research with the development and validation of new technological capabilities. You will participate in the design of algorithms, architectures, and technologies to improve the autonomy of unmanned vehicles in complex operations, train artificial intelligence models for swarm coordination and collaborative systems, develop precision robotic manipulation solutions, and design and integrate new payloads and prototypes that you will validate on real platforms in operational environments.

Your work will take place in national and European R&D projects, in collaboration with companies, technology centers, and end users. You will work in a highly experimental environment where research materializes into functional prototypes that are integrated, deployed, and validated through testing campaigns in real conditions.

What you'll do

Your day-to-day will include:

  • Researching, designing, developing, and validating algorithms and models that expand the navigation, coordination, and control capabilities of autonomous systems: UAV, UGV/AGV, USV, ROV, and robotic arms.

  • Integrating sensors, actuators, and payloads to build functional prototypes on which to execute and measure the developed models.

  • Validating developments in the field, designing the experiments and metrics that allow measuring system performance in real conditions.

  • Participating in the technical execution of autonomous navigation, collaborative coordination, and robotics projects, within national and international calls and in consortium with industry, technology centers, and end users.

  • Contributing to technical deliverables, as well as to proposal preparation and meetings with clients, partners, and consortia.

  • Maintaining technological surveillance on the state of the art and on reference development communities, to bring new techniques and tools into the team's workflow.

Nice to have

🔍We will positively value:

  • Advanced SLAM and sensor fusion.

  • Robotic manipulation: kinematics, force control, and planning with MoveIt 2.

  • AI-based collaborative swarming, MUM-T.

  • Deep RL, sim-to-real transfer, federated learning, and/or curriculum learning.

  • NVIDIA ecosystem: Isaac for manipulator, Isaac for mobility, and Omniverse.

  • Previous experience in European R&D projects (Horizon Europe, EDF, EDA).

What you'll get
