Positions Available

    The Robot Locomotion Group currently has a number of positions available. To apply for any of these positions, please email Russ Tedrake with a cover letter describing your research background and career plans, a resume or CV, and the names and contact information for at least three references. For graduate student positions, you must already be admitted to a graduate program at MIT to be considered; please ask the appropriate departmental graduate office at MIT to forward your admissions information Russ Tedrake.

     

    Position: Robotics Software Engineer

      We are seeking exceptional candidates to participate in software development for the robust manipulation project. The selected individual will develop and debug computer code to interface with a pair of robotic arms and a variety of sensors and will aid in implementing advanced motion planning algorithms on this platform. Funding for the position is currently for the 2009-2010 academic year, with a possiblity of extension.

      Applications should have a B.S. or higher in computer science or related engineering field. Extensive programming experience (4+ years) in MATLAB and C++. Must work effectively in a team (with students). The ideal candidate will have a strong grasp of linear algebra, and experience with planning algorithms. Further background in dynamics, control and robotics is a strong plus.

     

    Graduate Student and/or Postdoctoral positions in feedback motion planning and control.

      We are seeking exceptional candidates for a number of positions relating to feedback motion planning using direct computation of Lyapunov functions with applications to legged locomotion on rough terrain and supermaneuverable UAV flight.

      Ideal candidates would have a strong background in rigorous mathematical control theory and optimization for nonlinear systems, and interest in applying these concepts to experiments with very dynamic robots.
