Senior Perception Engineer – 3D Computer Vision & Sensor Fusion (human)

The role

You will shape the technical direction of the classical perception stack. You will design and implement perception pipelines for camera, depth and LiDAR data to create a usable world model.

What you will do

• Shape the technical direction of the classical perception stack
• Define algorithms, architecture and best practices
• Design and implement perception pipelines for camera, depth and LiDAR data
• Develop geometric vision and point cloud processing algorithms
• Own sensor calibration, time synchronization and multi-sensor fusion
• Develop state estimation and tracking based on filtering and optimization methods
• Ensure pipelines run in real time on embedded hardware
• Set up evaluation, benchmarks and ground truth
• Provide the geometric foundation for the AI team
• Act as the expert for classical perception and mentor colleagues

Required qualifications

• Master’s degree or PhD in computer science, robotics, electrical engineering, mathematics, physics or a related field
• 5+ years of hands-on experience building classical, model-based perception software for robots, machine vision or comparable real-time systems
• Deep knowledge of 3D geometry, camera models and calibration
• Strong background in estimation and optimization, e.g. Kalman filtering, RANSAC or nonlinear least squares
• Solid understanding of sensor physics and the error sources of cameras, depth sensors and LiDAR
• Experience shaping technical concepts and taking them to production
• Excellent modern C++ and good Python skills on Linux
• Experience with libraries such as OpenCV, PCL or Eigen, and with ROS 2
• Professional English

Nice to have

• Experience with GPU acceleration or embedded platforms
• German at B2 to C1 level
