About the role
Drive the design, prototyping, and optimization of proprietary Dronut prototypes and their supporting software systems. Contribute across the full lifecycle of robotics systems, from design to production. Participate in developing a new software system architecture integrating Robot Operating System (ROS2) as an inter-process communication (IPC), enhancing debugging visibility. Optimize sensor payload and placement to enhance feature recognition across multiple simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms, improving sensor fusion and the state estimation produced by the Kalman filter. Design, detail, and construct pivotal components drones to facilitate scalable manufacturing. Engineer and program an autonomous aerodynamic test rig, integrating data collection and post-processing. Create detailed CAD models. Conduct Finite Element Analysis to evaluate aerodynamic stress and blade displacements. Assist in developing a comprehensive physical model for the drone's control system, integrating aerodynamic principles and empirical data to enhance fine-tuning capabilities. Configure system OS software and automate flashing process of Cleo apps on the drone enhancing scalability. Fabricate and assess drone prototypes and initial production batches, iterating designs as needed. Assist in validating and enhancing the Cleo Android application using Android Studio, ensuring compliance with the MAVLink protocol. Develop detailed and scalable production work procedures while overseeing prototyping, lab equipment, and inventory management. Work with mechanical and software teams to ensure precision, manufacturability, and performance. Coordinate with suppliers and injection molders to finalize materials and part designs based on FEA analysis.
