Description: HRL Laboratories (http://www.hrl.com/laboratories/labs_issl.html, formerly
known as Hughes Research Labs) is looking for a full-time research staff
in Autonomous Unmanned Systems (esp. in UAV systems).
STATUS: * US CITIZEN or US PERMANENT RESIDENT *
THIS IS A STRICT REQUIREMENT.
EDUCATION DESIRED: Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical
Engineering, Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering, Applied Math or related
fields
ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS: Primary job function is to design, develop and
implement perception and control algorithms for autonomous flight. Tasks
will include the development, simulation, evaluation and implementation of
algorithms and models, as well as porting to hardware. Additional job
functions include solving customer problems, writing invention
disclosures, publishing papers, briefing customers, and assisting in
marketing HRL expertise.
