The Mission
Proactive Global have partnered with an exciting AI business who are striving to create the world's
leading, commercially scalable, safe, and advanced humanoid robots that seamlessly integrate into
daily life and amplify human capacity.

Vision
In a world where artificial intelligence opens up new horizons, our faith in its potential unveils a new
outlook where, together, humans and machines build a new future filled with knowledge,
inspiration, and incredible discoveries. The development of a functional humanoid robot underpins
an era of abundance and well-being where poverty will disappear, and people will be able to choose
what they want to do. We believe that providing a universal basic income will eventually be a true
evolution of our civilization.

Solution
As the demands on our built environment rise, labour shortages loom. With the world's workforce
increasingly moving away from undesirable tasks, the manufacturing, construction, and logistics
industries critical to our daily lives are left exposed. By deploying our general-purpose humanoid
robots in environments deemed hazardous or monotonous, we envision a future where human wellbeing
is safeguarded while closing the gaps in critical global labour needs.

Responsibilities

Lead the development of manipulation software, ensuring it meets the requirements for precision, reliability, and safety.
Collaborate with hardware engineers, AI researchers, and other software engineers to integrate manipulation capabilities into the overall robotic system.
Stay up-to-date with advancements in manipulation algorithms, robotic control techniques, perception technologies, and AI methodologies.
Troubleshoot and debug issues related to manipulation software, providing technical support and guidance as needed.
Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements for robotic manipulation.
Contribute to the overall software development lifecycle, including requirements gathering, design, coding, testing, and deployment.
Mentor junior engineers and provide guidance on best practices in software development for robotic manipulation.

Expertise

Extensive experience as a software engineer with a focus on robotic manipulation, motion planning, or related fields.
Proficiency in programming languages such as C++, Python, and ROS (Robot Operating System).
Strong understanding of robotic kinematics, dynamics, and control theory.
Experience with motion planning algorithms, such as RRT, PRM, or optimization-based methods.
Knowledge of perception techniques, including computer vision, depth sensing, and tactile sensing.
Familiarity with simulation tools and frameworks, such as Gazebo or V-REP.
Understanding of AI methodologies, including Transformers, for perception and decision-making tasks.
Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to address complex challenges in robotics.
Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
Knowledge of industry trends and advancements in robotic manipulation, AI, and automation.

Benefits
