Job Type: Full-time

Working experience: No Experience

We're Hiring under Ascensus Season 2: Autonomous Mobile Robotics InternAltior Studios is building a 2-wheel differential drive Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) designed for complex and dynamic indoor environments – powered by an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano and running a proprietary hardware-accelerated ROS 2 visual perception and navigation pipeline. Think "high-precision warehouse logistics grade autonomy on low-power edge hardware." We are looking for an intern to help us tune and stress-test our Visual SLAM (VSLAM) and spatial awareness stack using NVIDIA Isaac ROS,all of which will be deployed over Jetson Orin Nano.About the core tech stack:The hardware and software ecosystem you'd be working on centres around NVIDIA's cutting-edge edge AI and robotics stack. It enables hardware-accelerated computer vision and spatial intelligence directly on low-power embedded GPUs using NITROS (NVIDIA Isaac Transport for ROS). Thus, it is must for the intern to have a good understanding and a prior hands-on experience on the following :Core Hardware: NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Developer KitPrimary Framework: ROS 2 Humble and Isaac ROSVSLAM Engine : Altior's proprietary Visual SLAM algorithmNVIDIA Stack: Isaac ROS, it's Common Utilities and NITROS , cuVSLAM, Docker & NVIDIA Container Toolkit, Headless Operations (SSH, terminal commands, and remote workflows), nvpmodel, jetson_clocks and the overall power management.ROS 2 Core Fundamentals : ROS 2 Architecture, Executors & Multithreading, Transforms (tf trees), EKF and analogous filters, drivers and launch files, Frame Drift and Drift analysis and Debugging Tools like ros2 topic hz, and tf2_monitor.Navigation Stack: Behavior Trees, Costmaps & Occupancy Grids,



Planners & Controllers.What you'll work on:Deploy and fine-tune Altior's proprietary Visual SLAM on the Jetson Orin Nano platformCalibrate stereo vision/depth camera and IMU sensor setups to improve visual odometry accuracyFuse visual odometry with wheel encoders using localization tools and/or EKF filtersIntegrate Altior's VSLAM outputs into the ROS 2 Nav2 framework for real-time costmap generation and local planningBuild containerized deployment environments (Docker/JetPack) to optimize GPU/CPU execution latencyDeploy, test and validate loop-closure and relocalization accuracy under real-world lighting and dynamic conditionsWhat we're looking for:Technical Must-Have:Strong hands-on experience with ROS 2 (Humble or newer) and working knowledge of Linux/UbuntuProficiency with Visual SLAM (VSLAM) principles, camera calibration, and sensor fusionFamiliarity with the NVIDIA Jetson ecosystem (JetPack, CUDA runtime, and Isaac ROS packages)Solid understanding of differential drive robot kinematics and its physics based navigation principlesProficiency in Python 3 or C++ for ROS 2 node developmentProfessional Background:Degree : Engineering Bachelors in Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical or any other streams relevant to roboticsWork exp : 1+ yearsEngagement Details:Duration: 2 monthsMode: On-site, at Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar Incubation CellExpected joining date: 7th September 2026Stipend: ₹ 10,000/monthFuture Prospectus: Opportunities for full-time paid internships and/or employment (on-site) may be presented upon evaluationApplication procedure :Please apply here on LinkedIn and fill out this form :https://forms.gle/QTunUUwtKM6c28Wy8Please note that filling out the form is as equivalantly key as applying for the job.
