Senior Robotics Perception Engineer

This is a full-time, in-office opportunity to work at the cutting edge of robotics in unstructured real-world environments. If you thrive in a fast-paced startup environment and want to push the boundaries of robotics engineering, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Build out early-stage robot to work in real-world unstructured road environments
• Create motion and path planning algorithms for high-speed crack sealing
• Develop robust perception algorithms for real-time crack detection
• Implement sensor fusion algorithms for reliable localization and state estimation (encoders, IMU, cameras, etc.)
• Work with a team to deploy AI solutions in real-world applications, focusing on improving model performance
• Develop and implement novel approaches to model fine-tuning, optimization, and evaluation
• Optimize robot system-wide to hit engineering requirements across accuracy, speed, and reliability

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Math, Robotics, or relevant field
• 3-5 years at an early stage startup
• Experience with ROS/ROS2, Python, C++
• Expertise in one or more of the following core robotics competencies:
  • Localization/mapping
  • Perception
  • Motion/path planning
  • Motion control
  • Simulation + sim-to-real
• Experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow
• Experience with applied machine learning in a robotics context (image classification/segmentation preferred)
• Knowledge and experience with robot simulation (Gazebo, IsaacSim, etc.)
• Experience with containerization platforms such as Docker
• Knowledge and experience working with Jetson, Arduino
• Experience working cross-functionally across hardware and software environments
• Ability to rapidly prototype solutions, perform field testing, and iterate on software design
• Ability to quickly diagnose complex problems system-wide across multiple domains of robotics
