Robotics Integrator Sought for Autonomous Pallet Jack Bring-Up
TL;DR. A 1-2 week contract position is open in Los Angeles for a robotics integrator to bring an autonomous pallet jack online. - The role involves hardware integration, drive-by-wire setup, and sensor installation with pre-existing autonomy software. - Key tasks include configuring an Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano, implementing drive-by-wire, and fabricating a steering actuator. - The successful candidate will prepare the unit for self-driving in a restricted area, taking tasks via VDA5050.
- A Los Angeles contract role focuses on retrofitting a standard electric pallet truck into an autonomous unit.
- The position requires hardware integration, including drive-by-wire, sensor installation, and mechanical fabrication.
- Responsibilities include configuring an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano with ROS 2 and Nav2, and integrating provided control code.
- The project's goal is to enable the pallet jack to drive autonomously point-to-point in a cordoned off area.
