Company Overview
Pingspace is redefining warehouse automation. We specialize in high-density, high-throughput robotic fulfillment systems. As we scale our fleets, we are looking for a specialist to solve one of the most difficult problems in robotics: orchestrating hundreds of autonomous agents in a shared, high-speed grid environment.
The Role
We are seeking a Senior Robotics Software Engineer with a deep specialization in Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF). Your primary mission will be to design, implement, and optimize the brain of our warehousea system capable of routing 500+ robots simultaneously with zero collisions, minimal congestion, and maximum throughput.
Key Responsibilities
- Algorithm Development: Design and implement scalable MAPF algorithms (e.g., CBS, ECBS, PIBT, or Learning-based approaches) in Python.
- Optimization: Solve for Livelock and Deadlock scenarios in high-density grids.
- Simulation & Testing: Build and maintain high-fidelity simulations to stress-test pathfinding efficiency under heavy loads (500+ agents).
- System Integration: Work closely with the firmware and backend teams to deploy pathfinding logic into production-grade environments.
- Performance Tuning: Profile and optimize Python code (using Cython or C++ extensions where necessary) to meet real-time latency requirements.
Technical Requirements
- Expert Python Skills: Deep experience with NumPy, SciPy, and asynchronous programming (AsyncIO).
- MAPF Domain Expertise: Proven experience with Multi-Agent Path Finding, Conflict-Based Search (CBS), or M* algorithms.
- Graph Theory & Search: Mastery of A*, Dijkstra, and JPS+ in dynamic or weighted cost-map environments.
- Mathematical Foundation: Strong understanding of kinematics, spatial constraints, and optimization theory.
- Scaling Experience: Demonstrated ability to manage computational complexity for large-scale agent populations (N>200).
Why Join Pingspace
- Work on a tangible, physical product where your code moves tons of inventory daily.
- Solve impossible scaling problems at the intersection of AI and hardware.
- Competitive salary, equity, and the opportunity to lead a core pillar of our technology stack.
