Senior Robotics Engineer: Perception

The role

You will develop algorithms and architecture for production software by working with physical robots, sensors, and tools. The role focuses on the fundamentals of perception to solve practical problems for high-DOF robotic systems in manufacturing environments.

What you will do

• Develop and implement algorithms, systems, and architecture for high-DOF robotic systems
• Configure, troubleshoot, and develop low-latency interfaces for sensor data
• Develop computer vision and perception algorithms using multi-modal sensing
• Design and own full active perception pipelines
• Develop high-performance production-ready software packages using GPU programming
• Stay up to date with new research in robotics and artificial intelligence
• Maintain knowledge of product and hardware to offer technical assistance
• Identify and resolve complex software issues through systematic debugging
• Allocate 30% of time to assist the application team for POCs, FATs and deployments
• Travel to client locations for on-site system-level debugging

Required qualifications

• Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science or similar engineering discipline
• 2+ years of demonstrated industry experience in developing, implementing, and testing algorithms for planning/learning/perception/control
• Experienced in developing complex function-based software that interacts with sensor inputs, control loops, and redundancy
• Proficiency in C++ and Python production-level coding
• Strong experience implementing and optimizing 3D geometry algorithms such as point cloud filtering, registration (ICP, feature-based), and segmentation
• Ability to fuse multi-view 2D and 3D sensor data into a single aligned point cloud or mesh
• Hands-on experience working with hardware vision sensors (e.g., Zivid, LMI, Ensenso, Realsense)
• Familiar with ML/DL methods for image and point cloud processing
• Proven track record of architecting perception pipelines that combine classical 3D geometry with ML/DL approaches
• Strong ML/DL background including 2D image segmentation, 3D semantic/instance segmentation of point clouds, defect detection, and combining learned with geometry-based methods
• Experience designing and deploying multi-sensor fusion frameworks in real-world systems
• Ability to lead hardware–software integration efforts

Nice to have

• Advanced degree in Robotics, Computer Science or similar engineering discipline
• 5+ years of experience deploying software systems in production environments
• Designing and owning full active perception pipelines, including exploration strategies, viewpoint planning, and coverage optimization, and integrating them into robotic workflows
