About The Position

We are redefining how robots are deployed. Our platform enables users to simulate, test, and optimize entire robotic systems in parallel. By removing the barriers that have kept advanced robotics out of reach for all but the largest players, we're ushering in a new era of manufacturing—one where mass reshoring is not only viable, but inevitable. With our industrial AI platform, we enable companies to design and optimize multi-robot workcells in the cloud, eliminating the need for manual robot programming. Our Resolver technology automatically generates collision-free robot programs by optimizing workcell layouts, task allocation, and robot paths, helping customers increase throughput and reduce the cost of industrial automation before deployment. We are searching for a motivated Optimization Engineer to improve the performance, reliability and capabilities of the optimization backend of our solution. This person will play a vital role on the team and help shape the future of industrial robotics.

Requirements

  • Strong practical experience with numerical optimization methods (non-convex optimization, mixed-integer programming, constraint programming) and applications in operations research (scheduling, generalized TSP problems)
  • 2+ years of applied experience with mathematical optimization libraries (e.g. Google OR-Tools, CPLEX, Gurobi, Heuristic Solvers)
  • Strong software engineering habits, including version control and unit testing in a Linux environment; C++ knowledge is a plus
