About the Role

Help shape the future of robotics in construction by extending XYZ Reality's technology toward robots that can operate reliably in dynamic construction environments. This role involves hands-on work with robot hardware and software, focusing on algorithmic control and testing in real-world scenarios.

Responsibilities

Integrate robots with XYZ’s software, including ROS/ROS 2 interfaces, robot control, sensors, compute, and data flows.
Build repeatable tools for robot bring-up, configuration, logging, and monitoring.
Establish reliable baseline control and develop task-specific behaviors for navigation, positioning, and capture.
Train and tune control policies in simulation and validate them on hardware.
Develop localization-aware path planning, waypoint execution, and obstacle handling.
Turn work plans and BIM-derived locations into robot missions in collaboration with project and site teams.
Integrate capture payloads to ensure reliable data flow into XYZ’s construction progress workflows.
Collaborate with navigation, SLAM, and perception teams.
Design test scenarios and measure mission completion, coverage, localization quality, intervention, recovery, and repeatability.
Improve the system through measured iterations.
Bring technical expertise and new ideas to the program.
Compare scripted, motion-planning, and learning-based approaches.
Help shape the future direction of the robotics program.

Requirements

MSc or PhD in Robotics, Controls, Computer Science, Mechatronics, or a related discipline, or equivalent applied robotics experience.
Hands-on experience building, programming, or directly controlling a physical robot from an academic project, research lab, or industry.
Strong Python and C++ skills.
Practical ROS experience, ideally ROS 2.
Working knowledge of kinematics, coordinate frames, feedback control, state estimation, path planning, and robot hardware.
Experience training or tuning robot control policies (e.g., reinforcement or imitation learning) using NVIDIA Isaac Lab/Isaac Sim or similar tools with a rigorous experimental approach.
The right to work in the UK. Visa sponsorship is not offered.
