The Mobile Robotics research line of the Robotics and Automation Unit at Eurecat Technology Center (Barcelona) is seeking a SLAM & Autonomous Navigation Researcher with a strong background in robotics software, localization, mapping and autonomous navigation, together with hands-on experience deploying and validating navigation algorithms on real mobile robotic platforms, including AMRs, agricultural robots and tractors, quadrupeds, and other autonomous vehicles.

The selected candidate will focus on the development and integration of autonomous navigation technologies, with particular emphasis on SLAM, localization and multi-sensor state estimation, as well as path planning, reactive navigation and obstacle avoidance.

We are particularly looking for a software-oriented robotics profile, with strong experience in ROS/ROS2, C++ and Python, capable of understanding, adapting and extending existing robotics software, developing new algorithms, and integrating navigation solutions across different robotic platforms and sensor configurations.

The selected candidate is expected to work on:




- SLAM, localization and multi-sensor state estimation.
- 2D/3D mapping and navigation in GNSS-denied environments.
- Integral and local path planning.
- Perception and AI-driven mission execution for autonomous navigation.
- Reactive and perception-driven navigation and obstacle avoidance.
- Integration and validation of navigation technologies on real robotic platforms.

RESPONSABILITIES:
- Develop, integrate and maintain SLAM, localization and autonomous navigation software.
- Adapt and extend navigation software to new robots, sensors and operational environments.
- Develop and integrate perception-driven navigation and AI-based mission execution capabilities.
- Develop and integrate global/local planning, reactive navigation and obstacle avoidance capabilities.
- Integrate LiDAR, cameras, IMUs, GNSS, wheel odometry and other sensors into navigation stacks.
- Analyze, debug and impr
