Research Scientist - Optimization & Intelligent Robotics

Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL), the US subsidiary of the corporate research & development (CR&D) organization of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, invites qualified candidates to apply for the position of Research Scientist to join the Optimization & Intelligent Robotics (OR) team.

The OR team addresses optimization problems arising from a variety of domains including electric grids, drones, robotics, transportation, and supply chain optimization. The applications of interest encompass the problem classes of continuous non-convex nonlinear programs and mixed-integer nonlinear programs. We are seeking candidates who can perform fundamental research in developing novel optimization algorithms, analysis of algorithms, incorporate machine learning techniques for improving performance of algorithms, and implementation of algorithms that can be deployed in application specific processing environments ranging from embedded processors to massively...
