Roboticist (Embodied AI, Machine Learning, Computer Vision)

The role

This Roboticist will act as a technical advisor and engineer for global robotics and embodied-AI clients. You will design perception systems, build data pipelines, and lead field deployments to deliver robotics solutions.

What you will do

• Act as the primary robotics subject-matter advisor in client conversations
• Design and build CV and perception systems including detection, segmentation, and pose estimation
• Own sensor calibration and fusion and LiDAR processing
• Design egocentric data-collection pipelines for robot learning
• Evaluate, integrate, and fine-tune VLA models
• Build supporting services like REST/gRPC and PostgreSQL
• Partner with clients to define success and shape program scope
• Translate client technical requirements into internal specifications
• Identify and help shape new robotics-related opportunities
• Provide real-time technical feedback on equipment and field performance

Required qualifications

• Background in robotics, mechatronics, robotics engineering, or a closely related technical field
• Experience in robotics machine learning, computer vision, or technical solutions engineering with a track record of shipping to production
• Demonstrated client-facing or presales experience on robotics, automation, or embodied-AI programs
• Strong computer vision and perception and 3D geometry
• Sensor calibration and fusion, including LiDAR–camera, plus LiDAR processing
• Sim-to-real experience (Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Gazebo, or Unity Robotics Hub)
• Conceptual grasp of VLA architectures and the current SOTA landscape
• Strong Python (PyTorch)
• Ability to read and implement research papers
• Strong working knowledge of current robotics and embodied-AI industry trends, data collection methods, and deployment models
• Ability to translate technical detail into business-relevant recommendations for non-technical stakeholders
• Willingness and ability to travel to data collection sites (globally) as needed

Nice to have

• Experience supporting global or multi-region client engagements
• Hands-on experience with multi-camera systems, including calibration, synchronization, and tracking
