Pace Robotics, incubated by SINE IIT Bombay and backed by Pidilite Ventures and IIMA Ventures, is transforming building construction with intelligent, multi-tasking robots. We've launched India's first multi-tasking construction robot in partnership with Sobha Ltd, the most renowned real estate developer across India and the Middle East and have secured pre-order interests from top-tier firms in the region. Our flagship product, Centa Painter, automates paint, putty, and sanding for building interiors. Now, we're scaling deployments to seize global leadership in construction robotics within 24 months along with development on new robots for additional use cases across construction finishes

About the Role:
We are seeking a high-caliber Post-Graduate to join our Robot Autonomy team in Bengaluru. This is an intensive 6-month residency designed for engineers with a Master’s degree who excel at applying first-principles physics to complex robotic challenges.



You will be responsible for building highly accurate and exact localization and mapping stack for our autonomous systems that will reliably help them navigate and plan their work in ever changing construction environments.

Key Responsibilities:
State Estimation: Develop and fuse multi-sensor pipelines (3D LiDAR, IMU, Wheel Odometry) using Factor Graphs, EKF etc. to provide a stable pose estimate at 100Hz+.
Point Cloud Registration: Implement and optimize scan-matching algorithms (ICP, NDT, or Feature-based) robust to dusty environments and feature-poor hallways.
Loop Closure & Optimization: Design robust loop closure detection to eliminate long-term drift, ensuring the robot can return to its homing position after a full-floor mission.
Life-Long Mapping: Implement "Map Cleaning" or sub-mapping techniques to handle construction sites where geometry changes daily.
Manual Data Pipeline: Manage a data pipeline to build a local dataset of site geometries for off-site training and simulation.
