Robotics Software Engineer, Perception

Required

• 10+ years of software engineering in computer vision, robotics perception, or autonomous systems, with a track record of technical leadership at Staff or Principal level (or equivalent scope)
• Expert-level command of 3D computer vision: point cloud processing, depth estimation, stereo and structured light systems, multi-view geometry, and/or LiDAR-based algorithms in production
• Strong machine learning foundations — model architecture, training infrastructure, and production deployment — with the judgment to know when and how to apply learned approaches versus classical methods
• Experience in manufacturing, logistics, or other applied robotics environments — familiarity with the reliability and safety constraints that production deployment demands beyond the lab
• Experience building and deploying real-time perception systems under hard latency and reliability constraints
• Strong proficiency in C++ and Python; demonstrated ability to write production-quality code and hold a high bar in technical review
• Proven ability to define architecture across a domain, make and communicate high-stakes technical decisions, and build alignment across teams and organizational boundaries
• Experience contributing meaningfully to technical hiring — defining role requirements, evaluating candidates, and helping raise team caliber over time
• What Will Set You Apart
• M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field with a concentration in computer vision, machine learning, or perception
• Hands-on experience with sensor fusion techniques including multi-modal calibration, temporal alignment, and uncertainty quantification across sensor modalities
• Familiarity with model optimization for edge deployment — quantization, distillation, TensorRT, or equivalent
