About the role

We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced Lead Perception Engineer with expertise leading a team of engineers solving difficult robotic perception challenges using both classical and machine learning (ML) approaches.
The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with developing solutions end to end, including evaluation of the problem, sensor selection, leading software development and evaluating the solution in the real world to ensure success.

Lead Technical Execution: Guide a team of engineers through the full development lifecycle, from initial concept, hardware selection and algorithm design to field deployment and maintenance.
You will lead the team in the following work: Integrate classical and ML image processing algorithms for classification, depth sensing, and 3D reconstruction.
Create AI and ML models to enhance object detection, classification, and tracking capabilities.
System Design: Design and maintain high-throughput perception pipelines, ensuring low latency and high reliability in real-time environments.
Code Quality & Mentorship: Drive high standards for code reviews, architectural design, and documentation while mentoring junior team members.
Strong foundation in robotics fundamentals, including coordinate transforms, sensor calibration, perception pipeline design, and system architecture.
Proven ability to perform hands-on, low-level debugging and systematic troubleshooting of complex robotic systems in real-world environments.
Experience in building ML pipelines and optimizing/productizing ML models.
Guide a team of engineers through the full development lifecycle, from initial concept, hardware selection and algorithm design to field deployment and maintenance.
Design and maintain high-throughput perception pipelines, ensuring low latency and high reliability in real-time environments.

At least 2-3 years of experience in a formal or informal leadership capacity, such as a Team Lead, Tech Lead, or Mentor, with a track record of guiding technical projects and junior engineers.
Expert-level proficiency in Python, C++ and/or Rust with a focus on writing production-grade, well-tested code for autonomous systems.
At least 2-3 years of experience in a formal or informal leadership capacity, such as a

This role offers an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of robotics and industrial automation, applying cutting-edge AI and ML techniques to develop advanced vision control systems.
If you are a perception or computer vision engineer with a passion for solving complex automation challenges, we encourage you to apply and become a key part of our innovative team.
8-10 years of professional software engineering experience in robotics, computer vision, or a closely related field.
Demonstrated experience designing, implementing, testing, and optimizing vision solutions for robotic or automation applications.
Proficiency in AI/ML frameworks (e.g. PyTorch) and computer vision libraries (e.g., OpenCV, PCL, Open3D, CUDA).
Familiarity with various depth sensing modalities (e.g., LiDAR, stereo vision, time-of-flight) and sensor fusion.
Select the optimal sensors (e.g., LIDARs, time-of-flight cameras, stereo vision) for various applications.
Utilize deep learning techniques to improve system accuracy and efficiency.

Integrate classical and ML image processing algorithms for classification, depth sensing, and 3D reconstruction.
Conduct extensive testing, validation, and calibration to ensure system accuracy and reliability.
We are transforming a process that hasn't fundamentally changed in decades into an automated, high-performance system built for the future of automotive service.
