Location Indianapolis, United States --- #### About the Role Join an engineering and R&D team developing autonomous drone delivery systems. You will design, integrate, and test robotic systems from prototype through field validation, helping enable safe and reliable operations. #### What You'll Do - Design and integrate robotic mechanisms, sensors, actuators, controllers, and drone payload systems. - Develop control, navigation, path-planning, and obstacle-avoidance solutions. - Program robotics software with ROS or ROS 2 and C++ or Python, and validate it in simulation. - Integrate flight controllers, companion computers, communication links, and telemetry with drone systems. - Build, troubleshoot, and independently validate robotic systems in the field. - Work with mechanical, electronics, and software teams to develop and deploy prototypes. #### What We're Looking For - At least 2 years of hands-on experience building or delivering robotics, UAV, or autonomous systems. - Proficiency in C++ or Python, ROS or ROS 2, and Linux; MATLAB familiarity is useful. - Knowledge of robotics fundamentals, including kinematics, dynamics, control theory, PID, and system integration. - Hands-on experience with PX4 or ArduPilot, MAVLink, flight controllers, motors, ESCs, and batteries. - Experience integrating sensors such as IMUs, GPS/RTK, and LiDAR, with knowledge of sensor fusion and GPS-denied navigation. - Experience with embedded systems, microcontrollers, Raspberry Pi or Jetson, actuators, and hardware debugging. - Familiarity with CAN, UART, I2C, drone telemetry, prototyping, simulation, flight-log analysis, and field testing. - A degree in robotics, mechatronics, electrical engineering, aerospace, computer science, or a related field. - Computer vision, machine learning, SLAM, Gazebo or Webots, CAD, BVLOS operations, and UTM concepts are useful additional experience. #### Compensation & Benefits Visa sponsorship is not available. #### Location On-site in Indianapolis, United States. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@id":"https://www.dronejobs.app/#website","@type":"WebSite","inLanguage":"en","name":"DroneJobs","url":"https://www.dronejobs.app/","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.dronejobs.app/#identity"}},{"@id":"https://www.dronejobs.app/jobs/clera-robotics-engineer-autonomous-systems-2#webpage","@type":"WebPage","description":"Indianapolis, United States · On-site — About the Role Join an engineering and R&D team developing autonomous drone delivery systems.
