There are still lots of open positions. Let's find the one that's right for you.
IHMC is seeking a talented Robotics Engineer to be part of the IHMC Robotics Team to tackle fundamental challenges in humanoid robots in the design of the Alexander humanoid robot. In this role, you will work full time with the robotics team to design the next iterations of Alexander to make it one of the most advanced humanoid robots in the world. As IHMC is first and foremost a research institute, you will have opportunities to gain experiences and try new things, both with a varied set of responsibilities and through functions like the IHMC lecture series and regular learning lunches. The robotics team has been working on legged robots for the past 17 years and is a world leader in humanoid robots, with highlights including placing second in the DARPA Robotics Challenge, providing support for the NASA Space Robotics Challenge, and developing legged systems like the Nadia humanoid and the Quix exoskeleton. This history of development has resulted in a large, internally maintained software stack that ranges from algorithms performing perception to planning to control. We currently have a number of ongoing projects supporting our humanoids efforts, which seek to develop Alexander into a semi-autonomous humanoid robot for exploration of urban structures, becoming one of the most dynamic, capable robots in the world.
